You know what they say in Texas:

Yeah, Fox news hosts have never exactly been accused of being deep thinkers.

Israel has the largest Iranian community outside of Iran, so quoting the Times of Israel does make sense.

Trump is a wannabe authoritarian who is quickly turning into a parody of an ineffective, failed authoritarian. If the past year is any indication of what will happen over the next three years, we have little chance of becoming anything close to a western version of Iran.

Absolutely!

The poster complaining about a photo likely isn’t an Iranian, or perhaps doesn’t have much stake in what’s happening- every Iranian I know in LA (and, I’m literally surrounded by Iranian neighbors) is hoping for the overthrow of the current regime.

I believe the poster (unlike some of the cartoonish regime supporting extreme leftist posters on this site) is an actual Syrian who hates the Mullas and Ayatollas on a visceral level.

I’m really, really hoping that this story- and today’s overture to the South by Kim Jong Un- are the two biggest (positive?) foreign policy stories of 2018.

Right- so, are you going to allow a bunch of millennial alt cane polishers to appropriate and own a centuries old, very common hand signal?

It doesn’t. For as long as I can remember, this has been a very common way of signaling, “Okay!”

Yes. Memory is short, and the Overton window swings this way and that.

Yeah, I’ve met plenty of Republicans who were just awesome on a personal basis. Before voting for Dukakis in 1988, I supported Jack Kemp during the primary because at the time, I truly thought his brand of economics- particularly the idea of urban enterprise zones- would have dramatically improved parts of the cities…

Lets see..

I’ve met many, many people who are very smart, but not particularly contemplative, self aware, analytical, or emotionally deep.

There used to be a ton of fraud in the building industry in New York, with regulators and inspectors paid to look the other way. Which is one reason 911 conspiracy theorists, even on their best day, will always fail to understand why using structural engineering arguments to bolster their ideas about why the Towers…

Oh, grinding and drinking delicious, locally roasted coffee every morning from the french press has become about as close to a religious experience for me as I’ll ever find. I can literally feel my blood begin to pulse and my brain kick into gear when the caffeine hits.

Because Trump has made so many democracy-undermining statements over the past year that we’ve decided the only way to maintain our collective sanity is through humor.

Okay- point taken. Uber and Lyft should not be pushing anything other than that these are designed to be gig jobs that provide extra cash and independence. Period.

Most men born in the last century were brought up and told- by other men, by women, in sex education classes, by their peers at college, by society- that if the woman did not say “no” to sex at the moment it was happening, or did not struggle, then the sex was consensual.
