My theory is MTG and MG go around doing stuff like this because they don’t have any interest in doing the actual work that members of Congress do. They don’t really want to sit in meetings or read legislation or write legislation or meet with constituents or any of the actual work-work of the job.

This.  “I won’t stand by”... we know, Liz... you’ll actively support and endorse it until it turns against you.  Same as it’s always been.

No one remembers what happened to the boy who said the Emperor was naked. They only remember the Emperor and his foolishness.

While I get this sentiment, I mean she has to go up against literal white supremist who are doing everything in their power to undermine her. Also numerous other issues from the police unions.

But one star to give. Service members in active war zones have stricter rules to follow with their weapons than the police who think they’re patrolling one here.

“BLUE LIVE MATTER! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!”

Amber Guyger wasn’t arrested until 3 days after she murdered Botham Jean. If she was still drunk at that point maybe she’d have actually gotten the sentence most other people would for the same crime. She was not tested for alcohol or drugs immediately after the shooting so tipsy and armed is probably even generous…

Oh yes, it really is a period of rainbows and unicorns. We can go back to completely ignoring everything the government does like before. Everything’s just peachy dandy!!

The Flagsmashers were an absolute mess that had no idea what they were doing, but what they wanted was to not get kicked out of the countries they made home over the past five years and put in internment camps where they weren’t getting adequate food, medicine, and shelter and then sent back to where they came from,…

The thing that annoyed me about the speech and it’s probably true of other speeches in other films is this. They had no respect for him yet they stood there for the entirety of the speech listening respectively.  Without challenging what he said or even just walking away and ignoring him

Who gets labeled a “terrorist” and who gets labeled a “freedom fighter” largely depends on perspective and power balances.

They hugged that bitch and talked about forgivness and didn’t see this shit coming? They really though she’d take the relatively minor L for her “mistake” anmd move on. But snakes gonna snake. If she gets this conviction thrown out she’ll be right back in her old job like nothing happened. 

I thought the Wakandan input was a move to more or less liberate Sam from US govt or SHIELD contract service.

The reason why things felt oddly paced is due to how much shit they had to cut out and shuffle around to hide the viral pandemic sub-plot. It’s also the reason why it will be the shortest Marvel show on D+, with only 6 episodes.

The scene where Sam turtled-up and you watch as the helicopter bounces off of his Wakandan wings made me openly cheer. Especially as the crowd watching him on the bridge did the exact damn thing.

I think the problem is the white in the costume.

“Sam acknowledging that millions of people will hate him for wearing that suit”

The MCU did a great job showcasing Sam and Bucky’s comradery. I felt more interested in their characters after this short series than I ever felt in any other Avengers with maybe the exceptions of Cap and BP.

I ultimately liked the show, and I think they stuck the landing. But it still feels a bit like a missed opportunity.

Always a wonder to me that you can give people two options:
