Keep in mind that Thanos is now known throughout the galaxy as someone who goes to planets and wipes out half their populations. It makes sense the confederacy would assume that as soon as one of Thanos’ ships shows up, it means the Earth is next to be culled. It’s uncertain why they thought he would be heading to…

Aw, Talbot. Didn’t see the crazy coming up with that, but I’m sure everything’s going to work out fine. If there’s anybody on the planet I want having godlike powers, it’s good old level-headed Glenn Talbot.

I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s the Olympics: A handful of people who are the absolute best at various specialized contests. Random people training from birth don’t get to that level of ability. They’re essentially freaks - but we don’t see the IOC or fans losing their minds over whether athletes in other…

What is unfair to the others? I’m sure it sucked cheering swimmers not named Phelps or runners not named Bolt in 2008, too.

“So, as long as we agree with their opinions, it’s ok to have people with little to no experience running states that are larger than some countries?”

It’s very different, because Nixon is not running for president. She’s running for governor of New York. Plenty of other people who’ve had little to no experience in formal politics have gotten elected to high-profile positions before, and not all of them have been as atrocious as Reagan and Trump and Eric Greitens…

By your replies people who dress in Zulu-inspired clothing smell their own farts and look like Nuwaibian Hoteps.
Should they all dress in Italian suits; Star Trek borg cosplay; or middle class Americans? Or your idea of what a rich African should dress like? A society that cut its self off should dress like Kirino…

Can a truly egalitarian society exist within a monarchy?

luckily you’re still a dick so I guess we’re all set.

Ellie, your take is bad. If flake actually believed any of his rhetoric he would be holding up judges, demanding trump divest from his businesses, release his tax returns, etc etc. Flake is just polishing up his resume w/the Villagers as a “conservative man of conscience” TM! so that Flake can make the sunday shows…

This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.

Obama can definitely have his share of the blame, he’s the one that makes the final call so he’s the furthest thing from blameless, but Hillary, as Secretary of State, is the one that talks him into it despite his reluctance.

Or tried to destabilize Syria. Those crazy PNAC folks and their well documented plans.

Thank you for this long-winded story that absolutely definitely happened. 

I’m really surprised one of your experts made the mistake of treating the Houthi like an Iranian proxy. A lot of media types make that mistake constantly, but genuine MENA experts who aren’t shills for ideological “think-tanks” (looking at you Foundation for the Defense of Democracies) usually don’t. Maybe it’s bad…

Learn to read, be nicer to people and maybe check out some court documents, because gawker did not get shut down for libel.

“Hearing Sarah’s voice and Laura’s scream is a twist that happened in the moment we were essentially led to believe Cooper either screwed up or was somehow screwed.”

The way I’m reading that final sequence, Cooper did screw up and he is screwed — by trying to intervene to save Laura, he’s now trapped forever in an…

Twin Peaks had a cliché ending? I’m worried that I have been using the word cliché incorrectly my entire life.

Saying Daniel abused Issa’s trust is a reach. He was about to cum, got caught up in the moment and let off a stray shot - it happens. It’d be one thing if he didn’t give any forewarning at all and just did a pre-meditated nut in Issa’s face, but that wasn’t what happened.
