Ah, but it has to be the right kind of jesus. Not the liberationist Jesus that actually found purchase in slave communities. That’s a bad jesus.

Slavery is still legal in the US because the thirteenth amendment explicitly exempts carceral slavery. IE the coerced labor of people who have been convicted of a crime.

See I would have said that five years ago, but all of a sudden Larry fucking Krasner is DA in Philly?

It could be de-facto ended if there were federal (or even state by state) legislation that’d serve to close the loophole on the thirteenth by denying funding.

The assignment was positives and negatives from the perspective of slaves. That’s why it says “The Life of Slaves” at the top of the worksheet.

Positive Aspects:
It may end soon in America (but probably not)

Sure, the media heightened and amplified Trump. But the Clinton campaign explicitly asked them to.

Akira was his name in the Manga, which came out first.

Man, they really just don’t want to admit that the campaign was toxic and dysfunctional.

Actually many on the left warned that this would happen. Nathan Robinson, for instance, wrote a lengthy piece at Current Affairs about how a Clinton vs Trump race would certainly lead to a Trump presidency.

Whenever I see a recent picture of her all I can think is “Oh, so that’s how David Foley would look if he were aging gracefully.”

Also a lot of clumsy word choice that kind of renders sentences meaningless. Like the repeated use of ‘aesthetics’ when they clearly should be saying something like ‘views’ or ‘beliefs’.

Well, let’s be honest. Ivanka, Jared, everyone else in that set isn’t pro-jewish. They’re in favor of the increasingly right-wing and racist Israeli consensus that’s prevailed since Rabin was assassinated. Which is why they’re going to get support from Miller, The Dersh, etc despite the fact that the administration…

Again, and I don’t know why I have to reiterate this so many times: the joke seems to be about celebrity conspiracy theories and how they seek very unlikely answers to very basic questions, rather than actually being about Lea Michele or Illiteracy.

IIRC they open up after you complete a quest in Jacob’s region that involves knocking out radio towers he uses to block out radio and cell phone transmissions from outside of Hope county. It’s his region’s version of cult structures.

I guess I just don’t see her as the target of the joke. I mean I don’t think it really has anything to do with her, she seems incidental to the actual meat of it, which is the cartoonish stretch of trying to ‘prove’ it.

The joke is, as I understand it, that it’s actually an absurd and outlandish idea because (like you said) it’s way more likely that she just isn’t trained in/comfortable with/good at improvisation. I think it’s taking a the piss out of people who believe that Miley Cyrus is actually dead and didn’t just get work done…

So you’ll mention the strike, but not the guy who offed himself because of the poor pay and comics’ inability to work once Mitzi blacklisted them?

Work requirements, hawkish foreign policy and mass deportation are pretty consensus though. It’s not just about voting republicans out, it’s got to be about voting in the right Democrats instead of just people who have a D after their name but support Republican budgets and tax plans.

Eh. He was Dovish and she was Hawkish. America would probably be more involved in Syria and Yemen had she won. The real problem was that no one wanted to admit that he’s got Reagan grade dementia and just burps up whatever policy the last person he talked to advised, whether it’s MBS, Kissinger, Bolton, etc
