He was still working as a corespondant and was assigned to the Republican National Convention. I can’t remember exactly how old he was, but he still looks 20 into his 30s, so I imagine he looked like some well dressed white teen with nerd glasses trying to get into the Republican National Convention, hence the “looked…

I don’t have it in front of me, but Michelle Alexander really gets into these statistics in detail in The New Jim Crow if you ever get a chance to read that. She really tries to paint the picture of how rates of marijuana usage based on age, race, and gender don’t correspond to arrests. I forget what city, but she was…

He’s an expert strawman builder. Just move on for your own sake.

There are 10 other posts on this one state primary published by Splinter and Jezebel combined in the last month, so it’s not like they’re ignoring every other element of this race to focus on marijuana.

I hypothetically want to see Peter Jackson get the rights to Wheel of Time just so we can place bets on how many movies he would turn it into.

I know I don’t speak for everyone, but part of my frustration here is that it doesn’t seem to be part of any larger Middle East strategy. Just last week he was tweeting that we were going to pull out of Syria and now because of one chemical attack he wants to escalate instead, potentially pissing in the face of…

I don’t think you’re wrong from a logical standpoint, but I’ve long since realized it’s impossible to underestimate the intelligence of Republican voters.

I’m not predicting it, just pondering it, but if he wanted to take on Trump in 2020, he could conceivably spend the next 2 years as an “outsider” criticizing Trump. He could present himself as someone who saved tax reform, but distance himself from the stuff that all but the die hard Trumpers hate. I know that a lot…

I think anyone who lives/works in a conservative environment has experienced someone like Ted Cruz. You’re trying to make non-political small talk about something in the news while you’re taking turns with the coffee pot and one of the older white men will also force their way into the conversation and interject with…

I believe a more recent law suit was filed over Tar Creek naming him. That’s actually one of his scandals that I haven’t followed too closely.

As far as the attorney misconduct stuff, I’m aware that a public interest group filed the bar complaint form against him citing his senate perjury, but the OBA refuses to…

This drastically improved my day. Office Space memes forever.

Have a good day. I’m going to get back to work since I can’t imagine it’s going to be very educational to anyone to just watch you put words in my mouth in response to everything I say. It’s a pity too, since I think we’re on the same side of things when it comes to the big picture.

Wow. I never said that. All I was doing was contesting the assertion that “it wouldn’t improve the world in the slightest” by pointing out that there are jobs in the state department not connected to partisan objectives. My hatred for the Trump administration is as passionate as anyone’s, but I understand that there’s…

Everyone’s sharing their stories of getting rid of books in the comments and I’m just sitting here at the thought of discarding a single one of my precious books:

I suppose there are worse things to be called than “bland, generic white guy”

It’s part of a larger narrative to discredit American intelligence forces to the credit of Trump.

I disagree. “They’re making it up. They have no idea what happened.”

Where’s Carlson’s evidence of this? Conspiracy Theory speculation? That’s not evidence.

but I have no idea how even a fully-staffed department under Pompeo would improve America or the world in the slightest.

Has anyone else watched or read Altered Carbon yet? He’s kind of got the Laurens Bancroft thing going on where all of the women he cheats with look like younger versions of his wife daughter.

I sang those words in my head. Classic SP.
