How is that a betrayal? Look, there's no doubt there there is passive racism behind the votes of some of the people who voted for Trump, but who aren't actually white nationalists. However, liberals are driving me CRAZY right now, because all they want to do is stick their fingers in their ears and

I think you're missing the larger spectrum of human assholery. Most people land on the "kinda dickish" part of the spectrum, and can easily be pushed into "total asshole," by being launched into a milieu where greed and attitudes of class superiority are normal.

Did I miss something? What did Jon Stewart do? He hates Trump.

Rules? What fucking "rules?" This isn't a little league ball game, bro.

Oh, god. So much fail. Fail now, fail in the future. You are future of progressive failure, my friend. Your moral outrage and insults have done NOTHING but lead to "President Trump." But, hey, let's just keep digging this hole. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Okay, fair enough. I guess we all need to fully feel our rage, anxiety, and despair before we can recover the hard focus and energy that is needed to fix what's happening right now.

Yeah, it's CRAZY. A lot of them don't actually take anything he says seriously. It's bizarre.

It's incredible that you're equating empathy with concession and weakness. So, so, stupid. Empathy is how we understand other people. Fully understanding your opponent is how you defeat them. This is really basic. Are you scared that if you empathize with someone they might convince you of their point of view? Have

Wow. That's a VERY conservative thing you just said. In fact, conservatives say that about black folks. Are you sure that's what you mean?

Trump voters are consumed with fear. So if they can't be reasoned with, let's try appealing to their other emotions.

Just saying, "they're bigots and horrible people! Not like me, I'm a good person," is not actually helpful in ANY way, though. Insulting and raging against the other side has done nothing but bring us "President Trump." The people who voted for him are not cartoon characters. They're people. Real, actual people, with

Yeah, I don't think W was an actual sociopath, just a flaming idiot. Now we have a president who's both.

Trump -the most un-Christian of people. Ugh. The hypocrisy.

Those Brits and semi-Brits are good.

Totally agree. I was a fan of Crowe back when he was doing small Australian indies, and he was such a compelling actor. I don't know what happened - he lost something.

That production of Othello was career-changer it seems. Tom Hiddleston played Cassio and impressed Kenneth Branagh so much that he cast him in Wallander and then Thor, which of course led to massive fame. I wish I had seen it!

Unfortunately, he's one of those actors that seem like a nice guy, but I can't stand him. I'll avoid movies he's in.

Good one. I've seen some terrible films because of that Scot.

This will be buried, but, Chow Yun Fat. I've seen so many terrible Hong Kong action flicks (and Anna and the King) because of him. He's probably one of the most charismatic people alive.

Wow, the snark is strong with this one. Not sure this particular item justifies it, though.
