That why I called a pretense. It is horrible what western societies have done to their native populations, but at least there is some guilt. Indonesia pretends it did not happen.

A normal society would make some sort of fig leaf to the descendants of people who they massacred (see the First People and Americans, Canadians or Australians). Indonesia does even go through this pretense and pretends they were killing dangerous people, while rewarding the killers with political power.

I'm guessing they are regretting not having him retire and rehiring Megyn Kelly instead.

I have nothing to add, but she was the subject for a good Trevor Noah interview.

I prefer the high priced weapons because those are focused on fighting the real enemies (Russia and China). ISIS is an evil organization, but they don't have staying power of a nation state.

The Americans won* the second Iraq war after the US Army engaged in an advanced assassination program that depended on technology. It was for this reason Stan McChrystal was given the Afghanistan war (McChrystal had run the program).

The show is at it's best when Homer is interacting with Lisa. Just saw the Lisa the Iconoclast episode again and it was great.

Only Transformer Movie I liked I saw in 3-D IMAX, when I saw it in non-3-D, I realized this movie sucked.

Trump has just launched missiles at Syria.

Yet it seemed nobody actually watched it (outside of my immediate family).

Yet Trump cited McCarthyism when talking about how much he is being "persecuted" by his enemies.

There may or may not be a plan, but he has stumbled on the perfect patsy*. Her name (reputation) is shite with GOP and that is why it's a good idea to blame her.

Bannon called Jared a Cuck.

I was reading an interesting article about the Mercers and Bannon. And I have a theory that all this nonsense about Economic Nationalism is just libertarianism with a dash of xenophobia. It would make sense with Bannon's destruction with the administrative state nonsense. I came up with this idea because the Mercers…

I would do Jared Kushner and I'm straight.

He could establish a precedent of someone being disrespectful of democratic norms and being elected to high office. This someone could be actually good at fascism. That is why he is such a big threat.

"Rapist defends serial sexual harasser, wife beater and serial fabulist".

O'Reilly will ride this Trump train into the ground. Logic and reporting means nothing.

He was tweeting Don Lemon ( who I find a bit clownish) saying that Lemon was not covering Susan Rice story. Lemon responded by saying he (Lemon) was going to cover O'Reilly's scandal and challenged him to do the same.

Working in healthcare I can attest to this.
