If I wanted to juxtapose a brown President and an orange President, “Shade” would not have been my go to title.

I believe they need 6 more. I too am utterly petrified by this possibility. I agree with the original posters in this thread that something is broken, but a Constitutional Convention now, with Conservatives controlling as many state legislatures as they do, would probably make things worse. We could easily come out of…

21st century Sophie’s Choice

I agree with you historically, and it doesn’t seem like anyone talks about Greece anymore, but back when it’s financial crisis was front page news, I seem to remember their Neo-Nazi political movement picking up steam.

Clearly, I’m not living my best WASP life.

But how will our children grow strong to fight never ending war in the Middle East if we don’t start training them with live fire early?

Well said. I’m probably going to steal this:

Everyone quick, we can finally have a discussion on the posts about Middle East policy without getting interrupted with Islamophobic rants!

Read Jeffrey Eugenides’s novel “Middlesex” if you want a personal view of what this is like. Not everyone is born with complete male or female genitalia.

Yeah, that escalated.

Yeah, in full disclosure, two of my last three drug marijuana dealers were American vets who came back from Afghanistan disabled, started using marijuana to deal with their physical pain and ptsd (one was missing a limb), and like so many people, started to deal to maintain a supply for themselves and to cover the…

I bet this is highly entertaining until the scene where Jon Favreau directs himself as an obnoxious, overly aggressive, entitled white male that steals the scene just by how absurd and out of place he is in the film.

I’m a white western secular atheist.
