No way they’re clueless enough to use “Fortunate Son.” That could almost have been written about Donald Trump itself. And it’s not like you can just focus on the chorus and ignore the actual message, like the Reagan campaign with “Born in the U.S.A.”

Rumour Has It... that Adele will be releasing a new album this year.

Ah, June the 6th of 2014: the day that I, a 29-year-old adult, got braces, which felt like torture for about a month but would totally be worth it 3 years later; also the 70th anniversary of D-Day.

“So let’s continue the conversation we weren’t having before.”

It was the apex predator in its environment. Meaning no creature it was likely to encounter could prey on it.

Slow news day?

Wait, the last as in the most recently released, or the last as in the most recently watched by you? Cause if the former...

Really? I tell people embarrassing stories about me all the time. I probably need to teach myself to stop doing it on first dates.

Oh, and they already had an Irishman play the character, so this would sort of be the logical next step.

Nah, James Bond came out at the twilight of the British Empire. If he’s rooted in anything, it’s in stubborn insistence at still being seen as a superpower after the loss of India. He was already a bit of an anachronism by the time Sean Connery was firing at the camera. The character must certainly move on, past the

Chiwetel Ejiofor is obviously the better choice!!! They should nab him before he ages out of the role like Elba! Not that Elba would’ve been that good a Bond when he was younger. And if the next Bond is black, they damn well better make the character of Jamaican descent! Ian Fleming was a prick, but they owe him that

So the summer of 2021 is next summer?

When did Hasan Minhaj change his first name?

Upvoted on the presumption of sarcasm.

I clearly said she was (and is) the next in line if both the president and vice president are convicted. The simultaneous part was logically implied.

No conviction could’ve been obtained without the votes of Republicans in the Senate, who were under no obligation to vote the same way on the charges against Cheney as on the charges against Bush. So even had both been impeached, there was still the risk of making Cheney president. Hell, what if just enough Republican

I remember this one. And I remember thinking how bewildering it was that any Democrat from the party’s supposed left wing wanted to make Dick Cheney president.

Trump was “acquitted” by 52 to 48 votes on the first charge and 53 to 47 votes on the charge. The 2/3 requirement wasn’t what saved him. The 2/3 requirement is what will save the next Democratic president (let’s hope there’ll be one) who has to govern with a Republican Congress (let’s hope there won’t be one).

I’d go further and say that it’s not just that the whole world is expected to be equally diverse, sometimes it feels as if the whole world is expected to be diverse in the same way as the United States today. Look at the discussions about casting a non-white actor as the next James Bond. From personal observation,
