It is true that they’re not a bunch that I can muster great sympathy for, but lies are lies and laws are laws.

No other contestants need apply. We have our thread winner here.

Why? He’s essentially Republican. Especially after saying he’ll never vote for Hillary, but still hasn’t decided on Trump.

I tend to agree with you. But they would try to keep a grand jury underwraps. Which is just to say the conservatives might have some Reynold’s Wrap on their heads, but it is the size of a pastie, rather than a 10-gallon tinfoil hat.

Slightly more so than Hillary Clinton.

No. Voting for Jim Webb would definitely be voting for a Republican.

I would hazard a guess that precious few listen to every podcast all the way through unless their workday commute involves a plane. But they do have it subscribed in their iTunes (basically a more-useless-than-Nielsen rating system for podcasts) where they pick and choose which to listen to.

More like oblivious to the income inequality debate (both with or without inclusion of gender issues). But, since this was just a story about how bullshit Hollywood is about NYC, I think you can be forgiven. :)

A lot of Bernie supporters say let’s stand together and elect a man?

It’s like you’ve stopped even trying to troll in a believable way.

It, in many ways, comes off like saying #allgendersmatter. Like others have said, it likely isn’t how he meant it, but that’s what makes it tone-deaf.

If he didn’t include the fact that he doesn’t tell all guys to vote for him to get a man in the White House, JUST LIKE EVERY SINGLE POTUS EVER, it wouldn’t be such a…

See, I didn’t think it was a semi-flattering tale. It is about reminding folks that “All American” young men can still turn out to be rapists. That people that, from all outward appearances, seemed to be good are a few bad choices away from being unmistakably evil. Throws in a dash of “we still don’t know what part…

Libya is literally an African nation, which was my only point. I allowed that I couldn’t argue against its inclusion, seeing as how Egypt (also an African nation) was considered part of the Arab Spring.

The lovely thing about not being an actual candidate means it is perfectly valid for me to point out the failures of…

You’re going to pretend there isn’t a fucking universe of daylight between pre-emptive airstrikes followed by nothing and just plain ol’ nothing? You’ll have to find someone who tolerates that kind of lazy bullshit as a retort.

Not that I actually said that, but you do know Libya isn’t an Arab nation, right? But I guess Egypt being included in the “Arab Spring”.

In Libya, we engaged in pre-emptive bombing, established an arms embargo and cleared out of the vacuum created post-haste. In many ways, that was worse than the do-nothing approach…

I’m not necessarily putting the blame on her. I’m saying all of that happened under her watch, so I’m not sure what “experience” she has that is supposed to make her more qualified. Is the argument that things would have gone even worse if Sanders had overseen it? Kinda not a persuasive argument.

If I did, I’d be called out for believing the GOP smear campaign...instead of someone criticizing her for an incredibly stupid move that had no potential for a positive outcome.

A foreign policy expert who voted for an illegal war. A foreign policy expert who oversaw spectacular failures of foreign policy (Libya, Syria, Arab Spring non-support). A foreign policy who mucked around in the TPP agreement she helped shape, called the gold standard and now is against when it is politically…

Let me grant you that society still does place a lot of pressure on women to have a man in their life.

But what in God’s name do polling numbers have to do with it? We’re saying they brainwash themselves so strongly to get guys that they even tell polling administers they’re voting Bernie in private?

Exactly, if Warren was running, I’d be in her camp...and hoping Bernie was the VP.

I dunno...who was it that passed Glass-Steagall? Who is it that wants it returned? Who was it that voted against its repeal?
