Facts without context, i.e. untangling, deciphering and interpreting, are often useless, especially regarding big, complex issues. Reporters absolutely should be untangling, deciphering and interpreting.

Old here. Can corroborate. Back in the day it was just called the Nintendo, then the SuperNintendo. Nobody used the acronym in actual speech. 

I always said “N-E-S” but also “Super-ness.”

Not disputing your analysis at all. But they definitely got something of value from that meeting. I know they say they didn’t, and we don’t have evidence yet, but they’ve lied about every other aspect of it so far. What are the odds that they aren’t lying about that also? Particularly when, as you point out, it’s the…

Matt Schlapp is one of the most dishonest pieces of shit in DC, which requires clearing a very, very high bar. He has never made a good-faith argument or proposal in his life, at least not in public. He’s a Koch creature and a disgrace to his hometown of Wichita, KS, which is also clearing a very high bar.

No, I’m not confusing that. The wealth gap began increasing decades ago. I have no idea why you think it began a year-and-a-half ago.

Makes me wonder how much of their ample funding was non-Russian.

My friends and I ate at the NYC location when it was open, because we didn’t believe it could really be as bad as the reviews.

This absolutely did not start under Trump. Ronald Reagan legitimized most of this in the 1980s. 

What would stop players from simply abandoning the “this card is only for this deck” rule, and build decks like any other TCG? 

I was paying very close attention at the time. Exiling Franken didn’t change any Alabama votes, and it’s preposterous to think so, much less that it was the crucial difference.

There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Franken’s resignation changed a single vote in Alabama.

Tweeden didn’t demand his resignation, though. She accepted his apology and said he shouldn’t resign.

He didn’t grab her boobs. He mimed grabbing her boobs for a photo. In 2006. On a USO comedy tour. It was a dumb joke, and he said as much and more. 

On the contrary, these people don’t seem to have nearly enough to do if they can sit around all day and play make-believe. 

I’ve been assured that the “free marketplace of ideas” will sort this all out, and will naturally lead people to support only the best ideas, leaders and ideologies. 

It’s just projection. It’s all fucking Hewitt does and has ever done. 

This is how they continually move the Overton Window. No matter what the Democrats propose, be it economic stimulus from the 1960s or Republican healthcare plans from the 1990s, propaganda flacks like Hewitt will call it “extremist.” Then those things get equated with the actual extremist policies of the Republican…

To Hewitt and other angry white conservatives, the mere presence of a black person is seen as inciting.

Possibly the most frustrating aspect of right-wing assholes like Hewitt -- beyond their regressive and hateful beliefs -- is how it doesn’t seem to matter how many times they get proven horribly wrong, they never seem to suffer any negative consequences, and in fact, seem to keep getting promoted and make even more…
