It deserves no hate, and gets it solely for the reasons you mentioned.

The movie itself was trite, and actually pretty racist though? Like, I agree that America doesn’t like discussing race, but there’s no reason a racist person wouldn’t love Crash. My oblivious older relatives thought it was great, because it had scenarios like this: A white cop sexually assaults a black woman, but his…

The movie’s concept of racism is that everyone immediately and amply demonstrates exactly how racist they are to every single person they meet. It’s hard to get more ham-fisted than that.

I just read the story and I thought this quote from Paul Haggis did a good job of backing up Reason A:

Well sadly it probably isn’t going to happen without violence in the streets, it looks like, since the GOP rose to power thanks to gerrymandering and the EC and they have no interest in letting through any measure that would break down those institutions.

I haven’t seen this in a while so I can’t remember if it deserves all the abject hatred it receives. I didn’t think so at the time and chalked it up to:

Waukesha County was the site of a lot of suspected voting irregularities during the Walker recall election and his re-election, also, if I remember correctly. No surprise that they’re one of the counties that refused to do a hand-recount.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re already having a Constitutional crisis. We have a Senate that has refused to act on a Supreme Court vacancy, we have a president-elect who may or may not have won the election fair-and-square, but most definitely lost the popular vote by at least 2.5 million votes, and…

The people in Wisconsin may have been very, very bad, it looks like. There’s some conversation that they’ve been hiding ballots. I can’t get complete confirmation, but it does not look good.

Um fuck off. The headline is pretty damn clear. Don’t click if it’s not something you’re interested in. Don’t report on it? Are you fucking stupid?

......??????

Sadly you are right. And people keep trying to act like its not happening when IT IS!! We arent paranoid. It is actually happening.

And that little shit-weasel Chaffetz is going to do fuck-all about it. And he has the nerve to say he doesn’t want to waste taxpayer dollars until he knows he has to.

You... You do realize it’s still an interception, right? Just because Tolbert bobbled it doesn’t mean it’s not an interception. Don’t believe me? Check out the box score.

He called Taiwan because he didn’t fucking realize he wasn’t supposed to.Because it’s a manufacturing country and he wanted to get right on that - just like with Japan.

Well, you have a giant hole in your ethical and moral high horse - you seem to have zero comprehension of the true military situation between China, Taiwan, and the US.

Look, you’re right, but I think you’re whole “try me” schtick is misplaced here. The point of this isn’t about Taiwan, really. It’s about a president who has no fucking idea what he’s doing wading into extremely tricky international waters. And if you’re going to pretend that it’s in the best interest of ANYBODY - us,…

For me, none of this is about Taiwan/China — though that situation is extremely interesting in itself.

And Trump is taking neither briefings from any Intelligence branch nor State!
