Exactly people forget about 10-15% of Trump supporter are not die hard, only about 35% is ride or die Trump. Remember the huge lead Clinton had a couple months ago? Those people can be swung back, and stuff like this, especially if it continues to drip, drip, drip over the next month, will help to swing some back to…

It will probably ruin Billy Bush’s career, true. But it does serious damage to Trump too. Why? Because there are suburban white women who typically vote republican, but are on the fence this time around, who are being pushed off the fence more and more to vote for Clinton with every single awful statement that…

I have high hopes. And by “high” I mean no more than I’d expected from this B-movie series which has been more entertaining that not for the most part. Also, the odd numbers (1, 3) are the best and this is number 5 so it should be a recovery from 4. That they basically showed me the whole damn movie in this trailer…

On that note, 3.5 months of vacation over 8 years averages less than 2 weeks vacation per year.

The solar panels were government funded and upkeep was actually showing to be more expensive then they were worth, current gen solar panels now would actually power the White House, and the servers inside.

I wish the government would tell us what to feed our kids. Obesity has become such a strain on the health system that it’s literally bankrupting average Americans. If these easily preventable diseases suddenly had their incidence rate halved, insurance premia would fall overnight.

That’s the thing - it’s not like this is just a slap at Trump. She put the Clintons (and the Rubios and the Cruzes and the Bookers and the O’Malleys) on notice too. She did landscaping 3 months before she moved out. That is some Grade A, Jackie-O-level legacy building right there. And apparently she managed to do the…

Michelle Obama has earned far less credit than she should have for her nutrition campaign. If schools in all 50 states followed her recommendations, and simple recommendations like the avoidance of empty calories were followed by the average American, we’d save a trillion dollars in healthcare costs over the next…

I can’t find anything worse and more mind-boggling than the prosecutor. When he was insistent that Knox had to have done it since she didn’t like being questioned for hours on end...um, what? He seemed to have NO CLUE how people think under stress, or how they react to shocking and/or tragic circumstances. Like, why…

Ok before the comment threads break down into the usual deathist fascination with overpopulation, godhood, and rich envy, please examine your assumptions. Here are the usual counters

I’m super exited for this. Nobody does workplace screwball comedy like Connie Willis, and this has a strong Bellwether or Passage vibe. Harried female protagonist? Odd first name? Annoying co-workers? Person named Trish? It’s all there!

I actually read once that it’s most productive to read the 2-4 star ratings and ignore the 1 and 5 star. These are people who are most likely to give you good pros and cons and provide an honest but critical review. I find that this tactic has served me well; it definitely helps me avoid both a) the people who give…

Yes. In 1940s Wales the majority of people went their entire lives without seeing a black person outside of the media. Hell, an awful lot probably never met an English person! Tokenism for its own sake is pathetic. There are many many examples where under-representation of minorities is valid and indefensible; 1940s…

“Fascinating, but flawed” pretty much sums up Mr. Burton’s entire body of work.

I know, I really don’t get it. It was incredibly clear that Rue and Thresh and everyone in their district was black and that racial segregation by district was one of the things that made it a future dystopia.

For Fucks Sake

There were, largely only in the major port cities, but the number was so small it was still incredibly rare to see them. Even in the 90s, after 4 decades of government promoted immigration from the former British Empire and Dominions the percentage of whites was still 93% (http://www.ethnicity.ac.uk/medialibrary/briefi…

The movie mostly takes place in 1940's England...the question was just silly...though Burton’s response was equally rediculous...I guest he interviewer got what they came for

How can Trump make America white again when he can’t even stop Machado from becoming a citizen and voting against him? What a fat loser he is!
