Nothing particularly interesting to say about the post, but eight advertisements is overkill. I want to be supportive and not use an ad blocker but that's getting into spam levels that I'm just not going to wade through to get to content.  

Although I was just wondering if it was just me or have the Gawker websites become overrun with annoying pop-up ads and spon-con.

Yeah. I literally just noted 10 minutes ago on my FB that the label “Defund the police!” was terrible branding for what it actually means to the vast majority of its proponents, guilt by association is sufficient for the smear to be effective.

As a former Republican, I am as certain as anything I have been in my life that it’s a done deal that RBG’s replacement will be sworn in before January 21, 2021. They are not going to pass up the opportunity to go up 6-3. And there is nothing Democrats can do about it.

Super Tuesday proved (once again) perhaps the biggest truth about American politics: old people vote, the young not so much. And unless Sanders starts being a lot more specific about how he’s going to pay for all his massive proposals, older people of all races will continue to side-eye him. (We’re used to paying…

The classification in South Africa between black and white.

Yup. My coloured South African wife got offered 50% less salary than I did from the exact same school in South Korea. And she was a lot more experienced than I was at teaching.

“who they think white people will vote for when the curtain closes behind them in the voting booth.”

This is exactly why I don’t think Sanders can beat Trump. Every other issue aside, I just don’t think America will vote for a 78-year-old man who *just* had a heart attack. Democrats are too polite to bring it up, but…

Yup. Trump totally has the personality of an out-of-control drunk without even drinking.

I’m starting to think Bloomberg might represent the best chance of beating Trump. If there’s one thing that existentially intimidates Trump, it’s someone wealthier than him. And Bloomberg is much, much richer than he is. On top of that, he’s NY wealthy; the arena in which Trump tried to gain acceptance and respect his…

The only thing the Senate is going to debate is whether or not they should acquit in 10 seconds, or wait a whole minute to make it look better.

Agreed. There is an entire eco-system of grifters who prey on (older) conservative voters. Them sociopathic *beeps* are absolutely shameless.

The only thing this kid is sorry about is he got caught.

I agree with you, Obama’s lack of experience definitely impeded him. It took him almost six years to finally accept the GOP wasn’t going to do anything but scorched-earth opposition to *anything* he tried to accomplish. Hillary would have understood that from day one.

If life begins at conception, so does child support.

That you reference Alinsky without knowing how to spell his name is clear evidence that you are a troll. The only people these days who talk about him are MAGAts who set him up as some kind of boogeyman. Which is a shame because if you actually bother to read what he says, it's about making society a better place for…

Anyone important for the culminating storyline with Cersei is going to survive next week.

I agree Grey Worm almost 100%. He basically gave his death speech to Melisandre.

Speaking of Brienne, I think Tormund’s chances of having big giant babies with her have seriously reduced now that Jaime is the North. Brienne is in love with Jaime, and let’s be honest, vice versa. (Hard to top saving you from a big fucking bear to bring you together. ) Now that Jaime is free of Cersei?

This is a powerful point.
