Zero Dark Thirty is such a bad movie. Its the epitome of middle brow entertainment, well directed shots with a masturbatory focus on a torturer.

It kind of was meaningless because it changed almost nothing. Bin Laden by that time was basically retired because he won. Afterwards there wasn't even really a discussion of what this meant for the "War on Terror". There wasn't even a public discussion of what the goals of the war were to be.

Hey. I was pretty drunk and I though there was going to be a monster fight.

I think you are basically correct.

That's completely not true. The conservatives are completely obsessed with RINO and a shift rightward toward what they would call true conservatism- just look at the Tea Party.

I don't think identity politics really won. I think it lost and lost hugely. Its better to see the emergence of modern day identity politics as coming from the defeat of actually existing social movements/socialism then its victory. Its a turn inwards, to writing about Wonder Woman as the greatest feminist movie of

Triggered much lib. Conservatism is the new punk rock.

Well no he isn't. If you think someone that voted for the Iraq war, the Libya intervention and wanted to intervene in Syria (and has supported shooting down Russian planes that would lead to a world war) and then was going to vote for a healthcare plan that would kill thousands is a good person, well then thats kind

Your comment was a Maude Flanders quote. It can be applied to anything and make just as much sense.

but his whole entire political project stands in direct opposition to that. His cancer will literally save many peoples lives.

So what. Everyone has a family. Bin Laden had a family and McCain has done far worse, to more people then him.

I really don't understand the liberal responce to this. McCain is a man whose career began bombing North Vietnam and has supported every war since. He voted for Iraq and before 2017 was one of the biggest saber rattlers with Russia. He literally was going to vote for the removal of healthcare for millions.Why should

The identity politics of Hillary Clinton are kind of bizarre because people argue that she ran this campaign in which POC (such a terrible word) and women were this top issue and she was the vanguard of the anti racist/feminist struggle and she kind of didn't. She did some cultural signaling and had a vague message of

I have read this several time and it makes no sense. It only makes sense if you deliberately ignores all chains of causality. Otherwise this only makes sense if you think that the Baath party was the only form of social organisation in Iraq which you can't possibly be saying.

I think a lot of the historical scholarship is saying that if Clinton wasn't impeached they had plans to end welfare. So the impeachment actually saved welfare or what little of it remains.

Come on there is a slight difference between the state being a institution based on violence and going across the world and levelling a country on the other side of the world for 30 years.

America bombed Iraq every 9 days during the 90s. They levied sanctions which destroyed/weakened an already corrupt state, destroyed the remnants of Iraqi nationalism and forced people to turn towards the networks largely religious/ethnic which would make up the insurgency. Iraq was a country which went through a

Combined the Bush and Clinton haves killed and starved millions of Iraqis. That country will feel the effects of these monsters for generations. Fuck him. He should be afraid to leave his house.

Not true. The 2008 collapse was the product of the papering over the cracks in response to 2001 bubble and falling wages since the 70s. Clinton was all over that shit.

Look up the gay frogs. It is hilarious.
