It took me a rewatch to appreciate Peggy in the pre-S4 seasons; for some reason that episode was just the one that clicked. The Beautiful Girls is one of my all time favorite episodes.

It trips me up every time I remember that. I’ll be watching something, be ravished by her brilliance (which I didn’t really even accept til The Suitcase ep of Mad Men) and then hit a “GODDAMNIT” with conflict over her being a scientologist. She was ~raised~ in the church, so I hold out limited hope that she…

This is a good rule of thumb for all gov overthrows. Short term: sounds awesome. Mid term: WTF DID WE DO. long term: 20/80 pos/neg outcomes. Most of the time the power vacuum gets taken over by the exact extremism that no one wanted, but are the loudest and have the most resources because they’re assholes.

I, too, was totally a Snowball when I read Animal Farm.

The R.R. also overthrew a provisional government that was working towards a bipedal government, and replaced it with a government who did do whatever they wanted with Number 1. consequence being work camps and death for those that opposed Sovietism.

I think it can be both. Also that in the post-crash recovery it’s a lot easier to play negative than positive about the rebound effects because people are actually even more angry that their situation sure it’s not as bad as it was but it’s not getting better as fast as x,y,z’s is.

You’re not wrong in that the E.C. as it is today basically punishes modern inter-state migration patterns; people for electing to move away from small towns (which become increasingly conservative via educational brain drain as people move away.) It’s a big reason why the E.C. is outdated as hell, and even just having…

So they’re really going for that Russian market huh?

So they’re really going for that Russian market huh?

Right? This is a guy who has been on TV since he was in his teens, actively vying for work in entertainment. It’s not as though he was working in lumber or even a PG&E crew and was ~discovered~ at random and thrust into a world he never knew. I get that this is 100% a talking point from his publicity team to make him…

Thatcher is Exeter’s Ojai sister school. Then there’s Cate , Stevenson (which had it’s own sexual assault history made public in the 90s), Marlboro, some weird one that’s like a dude ranch in Arizona...

Literally 3 states with racist assholes who couldn’t deal with mom cleaning up their room changed the entire course of the election. That also includes those who couldn’t be fucked to vote in those counties - the literal 3-1,000 people who could have made this NOT. FUCKING. HAPPEN.

I was excited until you got to Ben Bailey not returning. WHY.

Of course! This isn’t about improving anything for anyone. And you can do that when you’re not the party in power, you can just be against crap on principal even if it does improve lives and do what government is supposed to do: serve the people. But when you are the party in power being against the purpose of…

Right, and it’s not like Republicans have a Narrow majority. They should not have NEEDED any Democrats help to get this done. It is a total and absolute failure of R’s.

All anyone should have to say is Republicans have 40+ more seats in the House than Democrats. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE REALLY BEEN THAT FLIPPING HARD.

Because that sounds duplicitous and people will say you were sketchy as hell for sending two different emails with two different agendas.

The arch in his back and the way the front of his shirt seem distended definitely second this.

You’re right, I misspoke. Guiliani was Assistant US Attorney for Southern New York, for which he became widely known because he went after the mafia doggedly. That cannot be disputed nor can his closeness with Trump.

Are you at all familiar with the construction, trucking, or trades unions of NY/NJ?
