He’s named for his great grandfather, the industrialist Armand Hammer. The name has nothing to do with the baking soda (although Hammer once owned a large portion of the company that owned Arm & Hammer)

Yes, the district will not exist in its current form after the next election. I think that Conor lamb actually remains in the district, but it’s redrawn in a manner which is more friendly to Democrats. Trump won the current District by 20 points but I think Clinton won the newly drawn District by 4 Points

They they dress this in the movie The Queen, which was about how the royal family handled Princess Diana’s death. At one point they talk about how they’re going to use the funeral plan for the queen mother as the basis for Diana’s funeral because that’s the only one that they had practiced.

I’ve seen articles pointing out that if this line of argument is true, then Cohen could be disbarred in New York where it’s illegal for an attorney to pay for things for a client like that

Cause she will tell how he’s lousy in bed.

That’s that’s the only thing that makes me skeptical of Stormy story, the fact that she apparently didn’t seek payment initially. I figure that the only reason anyone has ever had sex with Trump is for money. The idea that she would want to have sex with him without the likelihood of payment is a bit hard to believe

I like I like other point that other people have made that Chuck Todd’s real question should be why the present in the United States is using a racial slur to taunt a rival.

On one of the show’s I listen to on NPR, they had someone call in talking about how dissatisfied he was with Clinton and siding all the fuss around her emails. One of the panelists on the show, who is black, responded with comments about Trump’s racism and said that people like the caller we’re arguing that “people…

Meanwhile meanwhile, Hillary Clinton had promised to appoint women to half of her cabinet posts

Plus, plus, why is she obligated to comment publicly about Cosby just cuz she work with him? It should be her decision if she has anything to say and when and how she wants to say it.

You you know, I hadn’t thought of it before, but Jessica Biel’s latest show, The Sinner, can be viewed as kind of response to 7th Heaven. Her character grows up in an extremely religious household and a huge part of the plot is about the fucked up sex lives of her and her sister because of their parents religious…

Ugh, drugging people without their knowledge is already not cool but that just becomes so much worse when you know about Cosby’s sexual proclivities. There’s no way that that scene didn’t have sexual connotations in his mind when he wrote it

It’s it’s super rare for a TV show, even a generally progressive one, to have a character get an abortion. I know that Friday Night Lights did it, and one of the cast members in the first seasons of the real world got an abortion, but I’m struggling to think of another example.

They actually had a Golden Girls ep where Blanche was upset because her daughter was going to have a baby via a sperm donor. At one point she’s said she never would have done anything g like that and Dorothy quipped “You always depended on the kindness of strangers”.

You you seen some of that with these Hollywood harassers too. Kate Winslet said that Harvey Weinstein was never inappropriate sexually with her but that just his basic behavior with her was so bad that she purposely didn’t thank him when she won an Oscar for the movie what she produced.

What gets what gets me is how Cosby was both the predator and a prude. He didn’t like the fact that Bonet a had a pretty graphic sex scene in Angel Heart, but me and while he’s out there raping all these women

Another incident I saw someone reference in relation to arming teachers was a shooting a couple years ago near the Empire State Building. A guy that shot someone with whom he was having a dispute and then walked off. Two cops chase him and opened fire. They hit something like a half-dozen innocent bystanders. And…

Right. Just because you’re a veteran doesn’t mean you’re not a fuck up. You know who’s a veteran? Bowe Bergdahl, a guy who thought it was a smart idea to leave his post in Taliban infested Afghanistan and walk miles to another base. He had actually tried to join the Coast Guard first but had flipped out during basic…

Yeah, I’ve seen the number of articles by former soldiers against the idea of arming teachers. One thing they point out is the extensive training that recruits undergo before they ever even fire a weapon.

When I when I was in high school we had a teacher who got fired for slapping a student. This kid have been disruptive all year long and the teacher finally had enough. Whenever people talk about arming teachers I think about that guy. If she had had a gun maybe that kid would have ended up dead.
