My biggest problem is HOW did the Russians have the ability to move that many men and that much materiel into the middle of Indiana without anyone noticing? Hollow Earth? Did they teleport? Drove me nuts.

If you’ve got a “hate has no home here” sign you need to fly the blue line flag for maximum irony.

He’s got nothing to offer - he, Delaney, and Bennet are the “anti socialist” and that’s all they have.  They’re basically for no one except Third Way dorks who live inside the beltway.

Philly is lousy with these now. All the “choice” in the world and all we’re getting from now on is buildings that make Stalin era Soviet tenement blocks look soulful.

Gonna have to push back on this assertion from Castro:

Everytime you say “light corruption” I just picture George Bluth talking about “light treason” (and “light corruption” rarely stops there so just being able to accept it is pretty sad).

Check out Quasi, she’s been playing in that band forever.

Two things - the fact that Williamson was able to bring up the fact that the reason there’s a “crisis” at the border is because of the past 40+ years of US foreign policy in Central and South America was pretty impressive (and I really wish more time had been given to others to have to respond to it), and some genius…

Hell yeah always good to see Contra pop up!  

This is good tomato content.

While I can appreciate your apprehension, your skills would still be required under a single payer system.  But now you’d be able to have a job where you wouldn’t have to wonder if the code you’re writing is going to be used to deny someone the treatment they need.

I think the “summer bummer” thing isn’t about the quality but the themes?  As in, Chernobyl is a bummer series (unless you get chuckles from watching radiation poisoning), Euphoria seems to also be a bit of a bummer, and this is also seeming like a bit of a bummer.  

Who cares if a virulent racist is civil to someone he views as his equal?  If you’re only civil to people because they’re also white that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of civility.  Also congress got things done back then because there was near unanimous agreement that white supremacy was good, actually.  Once…

It’s a term that’s come back into fashion, but was originally used to describe folks who supported the USSR after they invaded the Czech Republic (with tanks) to put down a leftist revolution that wasn’t in line with the politburo line. Now it’s used more for hardline ML’s of every stripe.  It’s usually a term used by…

That explanation makes as much sense as teenage me telling my mom after she walked into my bedroom “I was cleaning it!”

I know this is about the show not the strip but I feel like honorable mention should be given to the strip where Jon drinks a cup full of dog jizz.

Dang I had such hopes to watch Gravel call the rest of the field imperialist pigs to their faces.

Are you familiar with the Red Guards in Austin? They take “ridiculous Maoists” to a whole ‘nother level.  They counterprotested the local DSA chapter on international women’s day and called them “revisionists” and stole their signs, and posed with them later.  It’s a whole thing.

Modern day “conservatives” only like the “invisible hand” of the market when it’s moving (on it’s own, of course, independently and all that) in the direction of slashing social programs.  If the “free market” doesn’t line up with their proscribed positions, all of a sudden they’re further left than Stalin in terms of…

Not sure where anyone was “defending” Kim. But it would certainly behoove us to verify where news, especially international news, comes from. If you had seen a report, exclusively from Fox News, that one of the envoys was killed (and was sourced anonymously with no corroboration) would you believe it? Chosun is hard…
