Yeah Veep is def more grounded.

I don't see how they're not clearly defined: "hawkishness" refers to a person's willingness to starts conflicts that aren't 1) already happening and/or 2) aren't on-paper necessary. Interventionism lives up to its name, where you intervene in conflicts that are already happening or are already boiling to the surface…

I guess that at this point in world diplomacy I don't see being interventionist as a bad thing. I get that it's controversial, for sure, but I don't disagree with the policy.

Which specifically identifies Hillary as interventionist, which is totally different from hawkish. I guess if you're anti-war in general the difference is negligible. But I'm— and this label is bullshit as most are— an idealistic pragmatist, in that I would like war to go away but I recognize that it ain't goin'…

Legit question, not sealioning (you know me): how is Hillary hawkish?

Well yeah, you always gain pivoting toward the middle rather than toward the extreme.

I enjoy the shadenfreude of someone putting forward the idea of Hillary being bought by Wall Street when Trump's economic board is filled with nothing but Wall Street vets

My dick is 100% out for Harambe until Frank drops his album

So what you're saying is you'll put your dick out for Harambe

Exactly. She doesn't specifically say she's an anti-vaxxer but she JAQs off all over that place.

Odd to me that Johnson is the "goes without speaking" non-vote compared to Stein.

I can definitely understand not being on board with it being fun. I do wonder if expectations played a part in this: I went into it with four years of "eh, it's all right but also kinda bad" while if you were seeing it at its debut it may have been a wildly different experience.

Just finished episode five, where they throw the fundraising gala and the teachers' union pickets them.

That's the twist, he totally did

I started watching House of Cards because I had a hankerin' fer some nice trashy "prestige" TV. I'm actually liking it quite a bit. It has the well-oiled machinery feel of plot-driven shows like Breaking Bad or The Shield minus the whole moral conflict/judgement thing. Don't get me wrong— that added dimension makes…

I've always liked Meriwether, but yeah Pfeiffer is great. It helps that we get to see her as purely Selina Kyle, if only for a short period of time.

That doesn't bode well for Paul Dano.

Controversial opinion?: DeVito's Penguin is better than Ledger's Joker.

You forgot:

SEEEMIIIIIIIII!!!!!
