I don’t doubt that there’d be sections of the commentariat that would immediately be booked on the Princess Cruz Line—but I’d like to think most folks are intelligent enough to tell an obvious turncoat when they see one.

...then again, I hope for a lot of things.

If her mom stole your car and gave it to her daughter would you be fine with her keeping it if she didnt get any tickets, rotated the tires and kept the tank full?

Well, good thing we didn’t elect someone who recklessly used a private email server for awhile. That would have been a catastrophe.

Wakanda’s system of government has been one of my biggest problems with the film. I have a hard time believing that such a technologically and enlightened nation would rely on trial by combat as their means of selecting a leader.   I guess they did insist on isolationism, so they had some backwards thinking ingrained

This is one of the reasons why we are a Third World Banana Republic.

Yeah, that was my one issue. These people love their country so much that they’re just going to let some lunatic step in and take it over so quickly? No one’s going to be close enough to him at any point to just shoot him in the back of the head and call a do-over?

My biggest complaint with the film is that this obviously developed, progressive, advanced, enlightened society...still chooses it’s leaders in trial by combat.  And they seem totally unprepared for when that inevitably backfires on them.

I find the whole iran/contra mess to be woefully misunderstood or not known about even by olds like me. It was truly an outrageous criminal and ethical scandal that should have resulted in everyone, including saint ronnie reagan and Bush 41, going to prison.

Governor Ivey said in a statement that she is working with the DOJ “to ensure that our mutual concerns are addressed,” to make sure “this Alabama problem has an Alabama solution.”

If anyone’s grandpa acted like this, we’d take his car keys. This guy has thousands of nuclear weapons.

I see this a lot, and i wonder if ANYBODY paid attention to the last election. Donald Trump beat Hilary Clinton.

a glaring tell about how rich the “liberals” and “conservatives” that rub shoulders with Peggy ALL are

There is nothing sacrosanct about the number 9. Under Article III, the Supreme Court has exactly as many seats as the president and Congress agree on.

The problem with immediate belief of all women making accusations is that you are automatically disbelieving all the men accused. That doesn’t work.
In reality, it should be trust, but verify, with any accusation. Trial by social media isn’t an appropriate system for us.
The allegations made against this man were...

No, his position doesn’t suck. Believing that durable, universal social programs stand a better chance of helping black people (and everyone else, too) is more than defensible. What isn’t defensible is doing what Kamala Harris has done, and talking about “support” for reparations, but offering exactly zero idea of

“Reparations” can mean a lot of different things. Cash payouts of thousands if not hundreds of thousands to people who are not prepared will not improve their lives in the long run. You don’t fix poverty with financial payouts, there have to be long term institutional changes first.

No...I’m saying that words have meanings.

Oh, they’re disgusting predators and garbage humans.

It’s WWI dazzle camouflage, she fears getting sunk by German U-Boats.

Yes, he is actually.
