I am not a Yoo apologist - I disagree with his politics, his reputation at Cal when I was there was not great (and he was close in age to a lot of us but very different). But I think he does show something that Trump did not do and I don’t think Yoo should be criticized for it - his boss asked him to figure out how…

you are required to release a dozen doves every time you mention John Woo’s name or you are in violation of copyright law.

List of people to never listen to ever again, even if they seem to be agreeing with you:

2 things: Bannon must know about any ties Trump has to Russia, and Trump knows he can’t really do the job and that he need someone who can do it (albeit evilly).

Looks like that NYT story and all of the President Bannon talk has officially gotten under Cheeto’s skin.

Don’t be modest Johnny Boy. Thanks to you laying the groundwork for the Bush2 administration committing war crimes galore, you, yes you! are a major player of Cheetolini’s reign of idiocy.

I think we have to assume they will become more competent in pushing their evil policies. Keep in mind that all he’s got now is a small WH staff and a handful of cabinet Secretaries—-he has yet to fill in political appointees at leadership levels (Deputies, Under Secretaries, and Assistant Secretaries). Many of…

In my county, back in the dark days of the late ‘90's, there was a thing called “Teen Court.” Underage jabrones who got caught doing dumb, non-violent stuff could choose regular family court or Teen Court, which was run entirely by teenagers (but supervised by a judge).

It’s very disheartening, in general, that people who do have sound moral reasons for their beliefs don’t understand the compromises that have to be made in a democratic society. They think that compromise is going “against their conscience,” but then don’t concede how that facilitates something like this.

When Mr. Trump is not watching television in his bathrobe...

I don’t believe anyone is arguing that the US is innocent because we are far from innocent. The US barely has a moral high ground to stand on, but last I checked Russia and the former USSR outranked us in the fucked up department.

No it’s not. The comment is about the fact that Putin kills domestic dissidents. Median income in Russia is 23k. That’s what’s this is about. That gay people are beaten and jailed. That domestic violence is legal. That journalists are poisoned by the government. That’s not equivalent. The USA practices force abroad…

Yup. The soundtrack is exceedingly clever, because it instantly and directly ties Guardians back to Earth in a relatable way, yet it’s in the background, so it usually doesn’t impact what’s happening on screen. It’s a brillaint trick to ground an otherwise unbelievable space opera.

Yes, it’s important for two nuclear-armed states to speak with one another, find common ground and cooperate on the global stage. That is what the Obama administration did successfully with Russia in getting Assad’s chemical weapons out of Syria.

“Trump says it like a verbal shrug. It’s as if he expects to be dabbling in a bit of murder himself quite shortly.”

The chilling bit is that if Chomsky said it, it would be because he abhors murder, whereas Trump says it like a verbal shrug. It’s as if he expects to be dabbling in a bit of murder himself quite shortly.

I despise Trump & think Ivanka is a snake who is trying to tap into some zeitgeist-y feminism while still reaping the benefits of her father & men of his ilk. That said, I could give a fuck less how much her dress cost. The stunning Michelle Obama wore gowns from Atelier Versace, Giambattisya Valli, Altuzarra and on…

“Knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing it shouldn’t go in a fruit salad.”

Good gravy. (Regarding the birth certificate Scarlet Letter.) On the other hand, it may have the opposite effect. I will never forget the afternoon at a friend’s house when her younger brother had just found out about abortion. He loudly proclaimed that he would never speak to a woman again if he knew that she’d…
