Dems lost basically on a technicality. The reason everyone though Clinton would win is because the circumstances in which she lost were incredibly unlikely. +3 million popular votes yet lost because of 80k people across 3 states. Yes, it's a win. But all it will take if for Trump to be a little less popular next time…

"Which is why the GOP will never willingly repeal Roe v. Wade."

"What's the Matter With Kansas" describes how this is a deliberate strategy to lure poor, blue collar conservatives who really should have no business voting Republicans because Republicans deregulate things and shit on little people.

Boop doo be doo be doop!

Holy shit, that is awful. I'm glad it never got anywhere. But still. That is dark.

Very Minor Extortion.

Yes. Don't ask me why.

I've met a bunch of white dudes who have referenced him as a "proactive thinker".

Particularly, since the election, we now know that huge chunks of America are a-OK with sexual abuse. As long as it's a man abusing a woman who is of the age to consent. Whether she consents or not is irrelevant.

My first impulse was to say "this lazy guy should get a job, what a goddamn waste of his life."

I want to be friends with each of the Harry Potter kids. They just seem well balanced and great.

I am her age, so right from the very first Harry Potter movie I thought she was a dreamboat.

I really wonder what is going to happen to Trump and this populist movement. I think it was largely put in the White House by a perfect storm of ignorance (it's quite likely his support base will dwindle when he can't deliver on his impossible promises), and apathy from the left (it's *very* likely the left won't be…

He seems like the exact sort of person who thinks of himself as some trail blazing provocateur, but is in fact a loud and useful idiot. He's basically a human version of a silly, weaponised ideology. He's in it because there is apparently a lot of money in saying fucked up things, but he's also easily dropped into the…

He might do, but it would be potentially very problematic. Milo's whole thing is stirring up controversy, and that makes him potentially liable for being sued. If he was being published by S&S, they would front up the legal fees. If he does it himself, it'll all come down to him. I think self publishing is awesome,…

I see it from a few ways. If Idris Elba was cast as Bond, I would be fine with it, because fundamentally Idris Elba is an extremely cool dude. I don't care enough to get upset. But Bond did also grow up on an estate in Scotland and was half-Swiss, so if you're casting a black guy from South London, you may as well…

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but why not turn MI6 into a spy agency with… more than one spy? Have a movie with Idris Elba as 009. Increasing the diversity that way would also make the traditional 007 Bond role more interesting because he's placed in a new context.

"Does anyone else think we've sort of abandoned our principles? Like, we used to be a nameless order. Now we've got got capital letters. What's next? Corporate golf day? Branded stationary?"

Surely by capitalising "nameless" and "order", you are in fact naming it. Proper nouns, yo.

I remember liking this show, despite how godawful Gus was. He wasn't even enjoyable in a "you're supposed to dislike him" kind of way. But bizarrely I still liked the show.
