Didn’t Comey more or less confirm today that Trump himself really was not under investigation when he left office a month ago? While I do think at least some members of his inner circle will eventually face jail time, the prospect of Trump himself going to prison over all of this is... remote, to say the least. It…

The American people haven’t punished them for all their behavior up to this point, so why would they start now? It’s not as if they were out of power for very long the last time a Republican president used dirty tricks to steal an election and then covered it up.
He’s not saying democracy is a bad thing, you fucking dipshit. He’s saying that sometimes democracy produces unfortunate side effects, such as the fact that dipshit xenophobes get to spout off about their dipshit xenophobic beliefs in a public forum. I’m sure HamNo fully understands that this is the price we have to…
I’ve been watching a bunch of TNG and Deep Space Nine lately, and... I mean, holy shit. Not only do Sisko and Picard lead the away teams more than half the time, but they often take their first officers with them! Just try to imagine the Captain of a U.S. Navy capital ship (an aircraft carrier, for instance) joining…
So because certain social democratic governments took a rightward turn that proved disastrous, the solution is to implement communism? I don’t follow your logic at all.
No, not socialism. Social Democracy.
I’ve been separating the man from the art with Kanye for years. In recent years the music has suffered too, but there are still flashes of brilliance here and there. He’s always been a great producer (albeit an often terrible rapper). Why does acknowledging this make people think I endorse his behavior?
I think his very name will one day become shorthand for a clownish fuckup of the highest order. For example:
It came with two quad-core hyperthreaded Xeons, so I’ve got 16 threads to play with. I just wish Civilization was better at utilizing the extra bandwidth. That’s what I play most of the time when I’m gaming, and it feels more CPU-bottlenecked than any other game I know of. The turn length in the late game can be…
I have a dual-CPU computer as my main desktop right now. It’s a 5-year-old Dual-Xeon Dell workstation that I bought from a friend. I really have no use for the extra power, but the thing cost me $200, so I’m not complaining.
It’s fine if people don’t want to talk politics on a car site. The problem is that they do talk politics, and those politics (at least to my lefty eyes) tend to lean hard to the right. I’m a car geek, so I read Jalopnik sometimes—and I’ve seen hundreds of threads get derailed into heated conservative kvetching of the…
The Concourse comments are fine most of the time. They’re basically the same makeup as the Gawker commentariat of old, meaning lots of quality discussion with the occasional troll thrown in.
I’ve been saying for a while that the Marshals (or some similar service created specifically for judicial enforcement) should be formally moved under the purview of the judicial branch. IANAL, so maybe that’s not feasible for some legalistic reason I don’t understand. But it seems to me that the current system is…
A friend who lives in Santa Fe and regularly does work for George at his house claims to have heard that the book is finished and is currently going through rounds of editing. So not under audit... under edit.
The real issue is that pretty much EVERY fast-food chain prioritizes cost savings over employee welfare (sometimes to the point of blatantly violating the law).
It’s almost as if you are neither an animal, nor an expert on animal behavior
Denver, Colorado. It’s a veritable health mecca with very reasonable housing prices compared to pretty much any coastal hotspot, and everyone I know who lives there just loves it. If you’ve never spent much time out West, moving here will seriously change your life. I grew up in the middle of the country, and moving…
11.22.63 held my interest, for the most part... I subscribed for as long as it was on the air and then canceled, since nothing else on there seemed worth my time.
Are you that guy who always complains when a 30% chance of rain results in it actually raining? Do you understand what probability is? Shut the fuck up.
