They’re taking the Marvel approach of hiring someone whose work they can control and then controlling their work.

I am holding it against him because he sincerely believes the politics of yesterday are the same today. 

Literally, the only thing you have to go by when casting your vote is a politician’s history on paper. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. What people say is irrelevant. What matters is what they do/have done.

I know it feels like it, but the Obama administration was not 25 years ago

The intelligence wasn't compelling even at the time as evidenced by most of the rest of the world saying so about Gulf War Redux at the time before it started.

I think I get what you mean, to an extent; there’s a million freakin opinions on how good or bad GoT is, so you may have your own specific complaints.

As long as I can look at Ruth Negga he can talk as long as he wants.

While you are technically correct (the best kind of correct!), subsequent seasons seems to bear out the analysis you’re responding to.

I think Seth Rogen will actually answer a lot better than B&W would have considering that at least one of the latter thinks “Themes are for eighth-grade book reports.” (https://grantland.com/features/the-return-hbo-game-thrones/).

I don’t think you’re quite getting it.

Exactly. The GOP’s entire reason for existing at this point is to help wealthy people hold and grow their wealth. That’s it. Everything else, literally everything else is there as window dressing, to distract the stupid poor people and keep them voting against their own interests.

Honestly I feel bad for the kids in her care, clearly they would be better served by almost literally anyone else.

I disagreed with the intensity of your hostility to Mayor Pete (he’s not one of my top three candidates, but I feel like he has a valuable role to play in the future of the Democratic party and would rather avoid the classic progressive tendency to throw stones at every Democrat who exists.)

Missing from this piece is Biden’s last big major legislative “achievement” in the Senate: passing the Bankruptcy bill in 2005, which he fine-tuned to benefit banks over consumers - just in time to exacerbate the misery when the economy collapsed in 2008. (Elizabeth Warren, incidentally, spoke out vociferously against…

Not gonna lie - this is so unexpected for the area that I cried when I saw it yesterday. Yes, Nashville is slightly more left than the other parts of the state, but it’s still full of rednecks within the city limits. This is the last kind of story that I ever expected to see and it was amazing.

There’s no way she qualifies for the third debate. The polling qualifications will weed her out.

Which will be a blessing, because I can feel my brain leak out my ear once she starts talking. That thousand mile stare drops IQ points even with the sound and captions turned off.

Welcome to my haterade party. Who listened to Jill Stein and thought “We need this in the Democratic primary, but with no plans, even less qualifications, and more tinfoil”?

No, her response really wasn’t that good. She’s a complete joke of a candidate. She’s not automatically a “progressive” to cheer for just because of her position on reparations, when she breaks the cardinal rule around taking PAC money and big dollar fundraisers and makes the kind of comments on weight and depression…

I’m pretty disappointed in Stephen for giving this flake airtime. I’m also pretty disappointed in this country because she qualified for a second debate after her “I’ll beat Trump with love” crystal waiving bs.

We really are a joke.

You know what would help that? Holding men who sexually harass women accountable.
