It is surreal seeing professional liars and propagandists publicly attack each other for lying and spreading propaganda. 

So what is the point of pointing that “both sides do it” if they don’t do “it” equally?

Stop with the “both sides” bullshit. Gerrymandering necessitates heavily weighting a few areas heavily toward your opponent to ensure you can win a healthy majority of the rest.

You are correct about the origins of the Senate, which was anti-democratic from its very founding — it is the American version of the House of Lords, and was meant to blunt the “fury”and perceived stupidity of actual democracy for the peasants.

This — making the House better doesn’t make the Senate better. The Senate needs to be pretty radically reformed (since abolishment won’t happen outside of another revolution and constitution).

Evangelicals don’t have priests. 

He’s a defense lawyer attempting to use the state’s ass-backward laws to get his client off the hook. If anything, he’s highlighting how stupid “life begins at conception” laws are by attempting to use them in this manner.

Too many Americans very much want a caste-based system of feudal lords and serfs. These people are already members of the lordly class through good fortune in either birth or business, or mistakenly think themselves in that class or on the cusp of joining.

Alt-righters tried to adopt them, but New Balance strongly pushed back. So it’s not really fair to hold the company accountable for that one.

With the advent of social media, tenacity and a lack of awareness are more lucrative than ever. Rovell is an empty vessel whose “talent” is entirely the ability to tirelessly and shamelessly spam vapid thoughts and links on Twitter. It doesn’t even matter that he’s a troll compared to most other “influencers.”

This new economy based on advertising shit at all times on social media sucks balls.

He is arguing against the wall. He’s a Christofascist moron so that can be a bit difficult to parse out, but I think your error is assuming he’s in favor of the wall.

Nobody will acknowledge that half the complaints were anonymous, nor that three were from Republicans, nor that that eighth was that he grabbed her waist during a photo, because that doesn’t fit the desired narrative.

Trucking is already on it. It will be the first major industry to adopt automated vehicles, which will very likely improve efficiency, and is seeing rapidly increasing adoption of LNG/CNG as a fuel over diesel, which burns much cleaner. 

I thought it was fine. It wasn’t great, nor was it bad. It had some legit funny moments, and some others that didn’t really land, and it probably overused CGI. It was just ... fine. And that’s the problem — it simply didn’t live up to its enormous hype.

Are you going to be ok?

Missed a real opportunity on a headline here:

So he broke his foot with that little crow hop?

Fun fact: Rich people often don’t actually work all that much, and many of their expenses are paid by their employer as well.
