Allow me to give you a little help on this one. American citizens at protests carry signs indicating that not many generations ago, typically just one or two, they had a family member emigrate from a foreign country. The flag painted on this woman’s face is a reminder that most of us are just a parent, grandparent, or…
“The hand. Did you find the hand?”
Ross Douthat tries to passively-aggressively drive Democrats into bad/dumb policies because he’s given up on anyone on his side listening to tepid Walmart Republicanism and Ratzinger Catholicism.
I have no respect to a guy who gets crowded out of his own party and instead of learning anything from the experience, goes…
Bingo. Karl Popper wrote about how in the name of tolerance, we must be sure never to tolerate intolerance, lest those motherfuckers hijack the system and actually make things worse for everyone (because we have to “tolerate” their bigotry).
I think dismissing him as just a dolt is naive and unwise. Sure, we know he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed but he is not a complete idiot. He is savvy and he is selfish and he is determined. That combination should not be taken lightly no matter how amusing/sad it may be to watch him try to spell “hereby”.
“But if a monster like that came around, he definitely would climb one of my towers. They’re the best. Everyone knows that, even monsters with no concept of the idea of monetary value.”
“I prefer monsters that don’t fall off building and die, okay?”
Using your own analogy, she let the insurance lapse, then paid the agent for a new policy but was still getting delayed and dicked around by the home office when the agents decided to burn her house down to teach her a lesson. A little different.
If Hillary had approved that raid, it would be the only news on every outlet across the country, including news that Congress just started nine investigations. Stop normalizing this shit.
I think about this, often. How I used to hear voices from Chile, from Argentina, from El Salvador, pleading with the United States: please do not let our country’s government get away with this.
Tyler laid into the Obama administration in, what many felt was overly, negative and political ways... even if it wasn’t relevant/integral to the topic.
Why shouldn’t someone’s political views influence their writing?
Was the posting for administrative type positions or for actual Foreign Service Officers?
I hear some insanity thats happened for real bc of Herr Cheeto. I put on WW and I get to hear Toby and Josh and CJ all discuss why what happened today is insane. Its really quite spectacular that Aaron had a time machine but didn’t feel the need to warn any of us
It’s a movie that the more you think about, the more there is to think about. The first time I saw it I was all “meh, big deal, time-travel loop. Seen it a million times.” Then a friend made me go see it again and began explaining all the stuff there is to chew on.
I made the grievous error of watching the theatrical cut, loving it, and picking up the director’s cut on the cheap believing I was getting an even better version. I was wrong. Not all director’s cuts improve the film, and Ridley Scott I am waiting on a director’s cut of Thelma and Louise, but considering that does…
You can tell a lot about a person by their feelings on Donnie Darko.
I understand the point entirely, but.........
