Good info. Thanks for sharing. I think the point stands but I do like to get my facts straight so thanks for the correction.

"Obama's no saint."

Fine, but it's also a dick move to promise something you can't in any meaningful way deliver, especially when you are reasonably certain it won't in fact be delivered, and even more especially when you could have delivered it earlier, had you wanted to, and simply chose not to. Just because Trump is a dick does not…

No I'm suggesting the opposite, that none of it was in the works until after the election, at which time the Obama administration sat down and came up with 'policies' that, for whatever reason, would be onerous to the Trump administration to implement, but would look bad for him to rescind. And that, if Obama thought…

Actually it was really just the latest bubble bursting after the Reagan-era push for deregulation went into hyperdrive under Clinton. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but disdain for the Republican Party as a whole, but I don't think we would be in the mess we're in today if the Democratic Party hadn't followed the…

It is kind of funny though, I see Trump being criticized for this, as well as a similar story where he "raised the mortgage interest rate" in his first week by doing away with an "Obama era" policy that lowered it by like .25% or something. Thing is, that policy had been put in place on like January 13th or something,…

Wait, having a fixation on Kristen Stewart is considered bizarre? Well that is some unwelcome news…

Round up the uvular suspects.

I find Eva Green's remarkable willingness to appear nude on screen for extended periods quite admirable. Considering she is one of the most beautiful and alluring women on the planet, it's very generous of her. And as the article hints at, she is also a very talented performer.

Poorly sourced was my comment about the WaPo story, which was not about Trump or the campaign. It was about them passing off an amateurish website staffed by anonymous individuals as an expert source that they used to smear around 200 independent news websites as Russian propaganda, an assertion which was utterly…

Can you explain that a bit? Don't most dictators instead co-opt the media and use it for their own ends? Do you just mean media outlets that haven't been brought to heel? I'm really asking, wondering if there is some nuance that I'm missing.

We can agree to disagree on Taibbi, who I like quite a bit, but did you perchance read the other two links I added after my initial reply. One is by a former NYT reporter who talks about how beat reporters are supposed to come up with "narratives" up to a year in advance that they will first clear with their editors…

Arrogant bloated illiterate oblivious clowns

Counterpoint: many of the media institutions you refer to did lasting damage to their own credibility this past election with their blatant electoral advocacy going far beyond the opinion pages.

That's awesome. I had only ever heard that rant before as the intro to a Perturbator album. Had no idea where it was from. Believe me, it is even better set to French darkwave synth music.

Yeah but Donald Glover and Atlanta.

Just rumor and innuendo at this point, but it looks like Sky Ferreira might finally be releasing her new album soon as well. Let us hope.

Jesus fuck. Trump successfully outflanked them on the left and they think they went too left? You have got to be kidding me.

Yeah I guess all of them seems to be a good answer. I thought people would gravitate toward recommending one or two as head and shoulders above the rest, but everyone was recommending different ones which seems like a good sign.

But why donate to the ACLU when you can donate to him??
