By "stacked against" you mean "other people would have to compete on a level playing field and be crushed by Hillary's intelligence and experience". Yeah, we totally should cut some slack to the guy who accomplished nothing in his 25 years in Congress because he now wants to brand himself an "outsider".

Warren has more than a touch of the demagogue to her, and unfortunately she's not good at it. I'll point to her comments after Obama took $400k for a speech, where she said she was "troubled" that he took the money. After taking some heat, she walked it back, pointing out that Obama did important stuff like start…

Things I have learned today: you can't say "hëll" on this site without employing some chicanery, but you CAN say "skullfucker".

Imagine playing "Dungeons and Dragons" with them as teenagers.

My theory is, fight like aitch-eee-double-hockey-sticks on Election Day. Election Day is your chance, however feeble, to be the tiny "Yopp!" that keeps the dust-speck from boiling.

Barley is pretty high in protein. High in carbs too, so you're better off with lentils, soy, or lean meats.

Time to give a listen to "John Barleycorn Must Die".

Is the mother willing to show honor and respect? That whole "I gave birth to you!" thing works only so far.

I just now noticed the parallels between Mike's daughter-in-law and Chuck. I R DULL.

I don't think she was lying, so much as mistaken. In terms of overall manipulation, she feels unsafe, and Mike makes her feel safe; but beyond wanting him to help her feel safe, I don't think she's playing him.

Exactly, it's Chuck. And one thing about Chuck is, if his brain cooks up an ailment that resolves his internal dilemma (at some level he knows he shouldn't be practicing law because he doesn't live up to his own standards), it's got to be something that makes him special. So it wouldn't be a queasy stomach or IBS,…

Ernie's fine, they sent him to live on a farm with other fledgling lawyers.

"Chuck seems to be attempting to fight his illness and who knows where that will eventually lead."

I imagine she's thinking of all the innocent (?) Daxamites on the ship with Rhea.

That may be metal from the Kryptonian system, and is tougher here on earth the way Kryptonian people are. That is a guess.

Is the Six Minute War still in continuity in the comics? Just curious.

"Lena and I are NOT getting married."

"It was also a caps lock middle finger to the Trump administration, and boy howdy, was it needed after today."

I still laugh myself silly at how the Daxamites started their invasion in a country that loves lead-projectile weapons more than life itself. It should have gone about as well as when the Bubble People of Klordornus IV tried to invade Peashootertown. Or taking the Hindenburg to attack the sun.

They could have fixed that in Cyberhank's introduction, with Lillian saying "you aliens have a Superman, and now I have built a Superman, a cyborg, and still more human than you Kryptonians". Something like that.
