I’ve been so conditioned by the top image getting redder, that I honestly thought for a second that the video had been altered to lighten his skin.

Machine politics from the late 1800s/early 1900s get a bad rap, but they were undeniably great at getting voters to the polls. Often more than once, sure, but they got voters to care.

Seems more like the type to tweet “Chunky or smooth peanut butter??? Both!!”

I’ve got Tuesday in the pool for how long until we find out this kid tweeted something offensive in high school.

It does make sense given how Eleanor had to basically raise herself and felt the need to emancipate early - in a lot of ways Patricia’s both younger (still being nurtured) and older (supported enough to develop better empathy) than Eleanor got to be at that age.

There’s poetry in his first directing gig being FireRed and LeafGreen and that his final gig is on the Let’s Go games - all remakes in one form or another of the original Game Boy games. He’s gone full circle and it began with writing and programming music in those original games. It’s cool to see he’s ready to turn…

“No, mom. Ya basic.” Delivered so sincerely.

Man, imagine how bad the fight would have gotten if the program were toxic.

Yeah I too am fearful of the slippery slope this could represent.   We should be scared when a big corporation goes after the press.  Sue the employee who leaked to the press.  (Or if the press obtained through legal means then this is warranted.)

The UK’s free speech protections are substantially less robust than American free speech protections. Everything you’ve said is true under American law, but may be completely untrue under UK law.

There’s an important distinction to be made here between a leaker and a journalist. When someone leaks a document to the journalist, it’s entirely the journalist’s prerogative whether or not they want to report on that. They have not signed any NDAs and have no obligation to protect companies’ secrets. In fact, a…

While on the topic, isn’t there some sort of state or federal agency that can shut down these “High Schools” that are actually “Basketball Factories”? Seriously, the psychopath went to Florida and just set up his own school for the sole purpose of being a basketball powerhouse. 

He wont be impeached... though he may likely skip town on his own when the indictments start rolling in.

Love when people with no sense of humor halfway reference something and think they’ve told a joke.

It’s not fun to listen to either, but a least the anti-meat folks are right. I eat meat, so I’m not holier than anyone, but factory farming of meat is unconscionable in terms of its treatment of animals and environmental effect.

Eh, Halloween if fine. You know what holiday really sucks? New Years Eve.

For all the stereotyping around annoying vegans/vegetarians I find your average one about 10x less boring and annoying than people with strong opinions about people not eating meat.

There you go again, spouting your facts and documented history.

Not to mention, y’know, burying thousands of dead Union soldiers in his front yard.  

... does Zinke not know that Arlington Cemetary is only on Robert E. Lee’s property because the Union did it to spite Lee?
