I'm not suggesting there is a significant anti-war faction. I'm pointing out that given the current Republican attitude of obstructionism for obstructions sake, we can expect Clinton to have a harder time making war with a divided Congress than Trump would with a Republican Congress.

There are old money society types in every reasonably sized city. They're just better hidden in some places.

It's also worth considering that it's exceedingly unlikely the Democrats will take control of the House, and for that matter it will probably remain under Republican control until and unless something changes with gerrymandering. Even if it were true that Clinton and Trump were equally hawkish, Trump is way more…

Like many aspects of their patriotism, the surface is literally all they have!

Possibly surprising, but there's still a vein of anti-Catholicism running through some segments of the population. Particularly among white supremacists and certain evangelicals.

"Oh my god, there's a Mexican on you."

Huh, so someone finally explained the lyrics to them. I wonder who it was.

You really figured it out! It's waaaaay cooler and more effective to never give a shit about anything!

Although in Latin America they're at least right about a few of them. We got involved in more than one coup.

A local fancy-imported-food-and-sandwiches place opened up a kiosk in my local airport, and didn't even upcharge the sandwiches. Now I make sure to go 15 minutes early and grab one of those, and everyone's happy.

Last time I flew internationally it was one free drink, and then cash bar after that. Or it would have been, had we not been stuck on the tarmac for three hours. Bar service was free beginning at hour one.

Not only that, but the police actually succeeded in pressuring her to recant. It was a complete fluke that she was vindicated - the serial rapist was arrested and apparently had taken trophy pictures of IDs or something, and hers was among the collection.

My mom says I'm cool!

I'm sorry, that must be really hard.

FWIW, that's fairly common among historians whether or not they're criticizing a high profile colleague or not. History often isn't something we can know with certainty, so people have their preferred theory and are usually quite insistent that they picked the right one.

He gave great talks. I saw him in college once and although it wasn't my favorite flavor of history he made it super interesting.

It's not actually illegal to ask any questions about protected characteristics (except disability, that is specifically illegal to ask about). It's just considered foolish and unnecessarily risky, because the information has no use to a prospective employer except to illegally discriminate.

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.

You're comparing apples to really old oranges. It might be cheaper to lay electric now but that wasn't the case in the 30s & 40s when the REA was active. The cost per house was around $16K in 2016 dollars.

Based on the Vikings game yesterday, yes, yes they can.
