The last scene of this episode physically hurt.

Upvoted for nuance — but I think the problem is with people who insist upon a distinction between helping the white working class versus just helping the working class. (And even when they don't say "white", in a lot of cases, it's pretty obvious they're not worrying much about those who aren't.)

I think the idea is predicated on a zero-sum scenario, which is that if we don't make a trade deal with these countries that is at least acceptable (and opens the door to further improvements), then they will turn to Communist China, which absolutely does not give a shit about those things (and is a geopolitical rival…

I would say if you're losing New Hampshire by 15 points, and your entire campaign strategy revolves around winning the white vote by an overwhelming margin, you're probably not doing great nationally.

To put this in A.V. Club terms: Trump is basically the BoJack Horseman of American politics. He's vain, self-centered, self-sabotaging, destructive to himself and all those around him, has terrible impulse control, refuses to honestly confront his own problems, blames others for his own failings, becomes obsessed with…

It's almost as if he's not a real wolf!

My state and county overwhelmingly benefit from free trade agreements, by the numbers.

Hey, look, this guy actually knows things! Booooo!

This whole international axis of extreme right-wingers, ultranationalists, and skinheads (informally led by Putin and his mafioso state) is, well, pretty creepy. Now you're holding water for Soviet/Russian toady and xenophobic mass murderer Slobodan Milosevic? Great look, dude.

I'm of two minds on this. I think strong-executive systems tend to have a higher potential for abuse and should generally be avoided. I also think the rules that currently govern legislative and congressional elections in this country are laughably undemocratic (seriously, legislators get to draw their own districts,…

Strange that Drizzt is so outraged on behalf of the villagers of Tawergha who were displaced and victimized by anti-Qaddafist militiamen in Libya, but "the few protesters" who died when Yanukovych ordered his secret police to suppress demonstrators and political dissidents in Ukraine can go fuck themselves.

Khan Noonien Jasoomian.

Yes, because that will totally happen, and it's not just scaremongering from the same idiots who brought us "Obama's gonna take away our guns!" and the "war on Christmas".

Enjoy the next three days going by incredibly fast!

And a shock video during primary elections in Kansas reveals members of the New Black Panther Party rigging the election:

Do you actually know what the word "fun" means?

That fact is actually not fun.
