Sounds like a hackathon project I need to motivate people to do... have a tool where you can easily find any elections for seats affecting your zip code where Republicans are running unopposed. Because a lot of people not only don’t know that’s happening, but wouldn’t have the faintest clue where to go to find out.

I’d agree with that. I know you can largely obtain trial transcripts, but I suspect there is still value in video and audio recordings because of how certain cues are interpreted by people, but they should only be accessible to certain people, or particular circumstances. I’m morbidly curious what you do with a…

It feels like the only people who benefit from televising a trial are the judges and lawyers. It’s just awful how easy it is to take snippets out of context, but who is actually going to sit down and watch all of it, while possessing the understanding of the subtleties and nuances of what is involved? A few law…

I was thinking to myself so much of this trial and the reaction from people online seemed to remind me of the 2016 Presidencial race. There was just so much misinfo out there. I guess this is the world we live in now.  

It’s really crazy how, the older I get, the more I realize that there is a HUGE percentage of people who absolutely should not, under any circumstances, consume drugs or alcohol. 

I also think prioritizing mental health treatment in this country would help as well.

Nah, I literally called them allegations, which are by definition unproven. That said, her behavior of recording and photographing regularly seems consistent with someone who was in a really bad situation behind closed doors and knew that no one else was seeing what was really going on. And from my own sexual assault,…

Good call on the Tyrells, and I think you’ve underlined why I’m underwhelmed: this feels like the Gus Fring series. Better Call Saul does give you Fring, but one the fringes.

“Religious freedom” has always only meant “religious freedom for white Evangelical Christians.” I recall a few years ago Louisiana was going to start a voucher program that could be used for private religious schools, but it ran into opposition when Republicans realized that those vouchers could also be used by…

Apparently, you do.

I agree in the sense that a prequel can certainly tell a compelling story despite one’s understanding of where future circumstances lead the characters. Better Call Saul is a great example of this; if anything, that series feels like a second draft of Breaking Bad, following a similar arc but with different characters,…

Because it’s not about policies. It’s just grievance.

No one condoned violence and did you even read the article? Jaleel White threatened to physically attack a woman over an disagreement because he couldn’t get his way. Jo Marie Peyton has a right to defend herself if someone threatens to fight her. Where is all this energy in condemning Jaleel White for his…

So one more time, can you and the rest of your pathetic Bernie Bros Progressives name anything he and his collection of lazy ass entitled grifters have done? Other than make money for themselves and cost Democrats seats with their “defund the police” bullshit. Get back to me when 50 Stents and crew actually write one…

It’s weird how people are looking at this like it’s a real trial, when it’s just a massive revenge campaign so he can destroy her. I’m not even sure if he expects to rehab his reputation when it’s all over. Before this trial, people were aware of SOME of his behavior, but now we’re hearing ALL of it. It’s clear he is…

I fucking hate my state.

There wasn’t a need, for what it’s worth. I was born in PR and “moved to the United States” as a child. It’s less cumbersome than “moved to the 50-states part of the United States.”

Not only does this read like sour grapes, but as someone who hectors the Dems to pass stuff, shouldn’t it matter that Rep. Brown is much more likely to be a reliable vote for team Dem?

It’s a territory and not a state so semantically saying that they moved to the United States from a US territory would be the same as saying that someone from a Commonwealth country to the United Kingdom. You wouldn’t say that Canada is England.

In the show, Miguel’s father referred to where they were moving as “los estados”, so maybe the show writers are the ones at fault.
