I am not going to read your long angry rant

You are correct that the Democrats hurt themselves when they laid everything on the Mueller report.

Aaaaand... you’re back to carrying on imaginary conversations. When the hell did I even mention Mueller?

Someone had to push the idea that impeachment is a litmus test and someone has to continue to push it. This is a manufactured crisis. The responsible thing is to refrain from making a make-or-break issue out of something that is null as policy (the Senate will acquit) and bad as politics (impeachment is about as…

I’ve reread my original comment 4 times trying to figure what the fuck you’re on about. That’s enough reflection to opine that you’re an idiot.

You either have no clue what I said or don’t realize which comment you replied to. Either way, feel free not to continue this conversation.

Do you understand that Cory Gardner, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, who are up for re-election next year in competitive races, have already come out against impeachment? They’ve taken that stand without even being forced to take the vote. And you know why? Because they assume impeachment is an electoral dud. It…

And if it makes it easier for Trump, what then? Does your hypothetical grandkid get to key you in the fucking face because you were too alpha male to think strategically? If you want to call everyone who thought the issue through and reached a different conclusion a cuck, you might as well just vote for Trump. You’d…

If you can’t be bothered to address what the people you replied to were saying, then it’s very likely your input was never wanted to begin with.

Also, where the hell did that “handful of cities” talking point originate? No, you simply cannot win a presidential election that way. That’s just basic math.

It’s the “we need to do something; X is something; let’s do X” fallacy. Made worse by the fact that some of the people pushing impeachment are pretending that there won’t be a presidential election next year.

If the first film is a big enough hit for the Bene Gesserit to become a household name, they can always rename the series before it premieres. If not, best to keep a name that appeals both to Dune fans and to non-fans looking for a female-driven show.

Or worse, profits-wise. What if he demands changes to features meant to generate clicks? (A perfectly plausible scenario given what we actually do know about Chris, and surely the people at Smithereens know their business model has its critics.) At least with a ransom the money can come from Billy’s private wealth if…

I think I can see how the Smithereens folks were thinking. Officially, they were covered by the fact that their boss was off the grid. Yet they also had to cover their own asses in case he found out about the incident after returning and asked why he wasn’t notified. Their solution, which must have seemed smart…

Disasters that disproportionately affected black people? Where are they going to find the actors?

6/6/19

It’s not really “what if phones but too much.” Chris clearly states that he considers himself responsible for his fiancée’s death and cuts off Billy when the latter begins his rant about the deliberately addictive nature of social media. Smithereens in the past was a facilitator’s for Chris’ temporary loss of focus.…

Mass media has been ruining generations since the invention of the printing press. Always future generations, though - the Cassandras delivering these warnings just so happen to come from the last generation to have been raised right.

Brooker’s 48, so I think he’s allowed to be an adult about it.
