She will have to be a candidate for athlete of the century 80 years from now. The only time you see people do the things she does is when they are attached to cables in front of a green screen. She is amazing to watch. The way she has carried herself publicly and advocated for herself and others only makes her that…

Right? “I do not think I am very good at this, but they keep giving me REALLY good money to do it.” How could you say no to that?

May 2020 be the year that Dennis Skinner finish what Cromwell started.

Sorry to be a bit OT, but I love that cavalry hat.

Even the way in which Florida became part ofthe US was messed up. It involved the, at the time, General Andrew Jackson basically invading it and declaring it captured - all without congressional approval ( actually, IIRC, he was leading a state militia), and he even almost started a war with England by executing two…

On the other hand, I will never forget the professor who devoted a significant chunk of lecture time to Brown v Board II’s perverse requirement to carry out desegregation at “all deliberate speed.” You know, speedy, but take-your-time speedy. Just not too fast. It was a bizarre footnote to such a momentous decision.

That still does not detract from the fact that that sentence was a beautiful bit of legalese.

He was a racist, pure and simple. What always baffled me is how he was at all famous. There are a lot of racists with the looks and voice for radio, and Imus was just so uninteresting. The only explanation is that he is now on his way to settle his account.

Zack, you apparently have an amateur troll that somehow escaped the greys despite a history of failed edgelord takes.

“Europe will live (on)?” In German. Yea, nothing racist about that account at all. I guess “Arbeit macht Frei” or “Deutschland ueber alles” would have been too on the nose. Then again, you have got the “Whites unite” and “no to racemixing” (when the hell did that become on word?). All that is missing is 88 and 14…

Came down here to make the same point. That graphic is NOTHING BUT disrepect, down to the purple drops. 

Basically the same thing Micheal Harriott has been saying. Moore may want to email him on clapback tips.

It is nota coincidence that when the Klan started up again in the 1920s, on the heels of the release of Birth of a Nation, is began again in Indiana, not Tenessee.

Lord that babebelch person needs to just fuck off.

May is one of my favorite horror movies. It is just near-perfect.

OF COURSE he thinks it is all about him. This is the biggest problem that his supporters routinely miss. He does not care about you, he does not care about America, and he sure as hell doesn’t care about people who do not kiss up to him or look like him. He only cares about himself. The only up side of any of this is…

This was a great episode, and reminded me of what this show could be. It was not the characters that Eddie did (well, certainly not Velvet Jones and Buckwheat - those should have been left behind and Murphy could have helped the current cast develop two interesting new bits), but, as you point out, the energy that he…

Absolutely he was a racist. At the same time, he was very good at crafting very creepy, claustrophobia-inducing worlds with mere words in a fashion few have ever really reached. I like the structure of Polaris, for example, but obviously reject the ultimate conceit that the “eskimeuax” overran an older, advanced white…

I am dissapointed about the Vampire Chronicles. They never got a fair shake in the film versions, and a TV series would have worked well, one season per novel. It sure would have been better than True Blood.

Just two points in response to things you brought up - once Senator PALPATINE was named in Ep I, anyone familiar with the original trilogy could see where things were going. As for order 66, I called this one right after I saw Attack of the Clones (BTW - I still remember the sense of excitement and dread I felt when I…
