Conducting an audit, reviewing contracts with defense contractors, moving towards green energy wherever possible, withdrawal from active conflicts, working to end and declassify NSA domestic spy programs (including which corporations worked on it), peacekeeping efforts where asked for (especially in areas like the…

Is better than a Trump appointee the only bar we expect administration officials to clear? Because if so, Trump has won, let’s lock up and turn out the lights.

“If we want to stop the forever wars, we have to keep putting war profiteers in charge of running them.”

The problem here is that nothing in her record suggests she’s the person to do any of this. The SoD doesn’t have to be a general or a defense contractor. It’s not anywhere in the rules.

Qualified insofar as she has made a career of profiting off of war? There are women peace activists. Give one of them the job.

There’s a big difference between selecting someone who has worked for the Pentagon and defense contractors her entire career and, I dunno, someone who worked for a peacekeeping org, or an international women’s org. And why can’t they hire a peace activist? They’ve never hired a woman before, let’s get a 2-for-1.…

There needs to be a mechanism to punish players like Ramos for shit like this and the dive that got Cuadrado sent off. Thinking he didn’t mean to dislocate his shoulder is irrelevant. He could’ve let go as they fell. He is willing to go over the line of fair play in gross and cynical ways, and there’s simply no place…

Does “bad” press even matter for the NFL? Surely no one actually believes that the fans who get worked up about kneeling are actually going to turn off the TV or sell their season tickets. So there are no consequences except people talk about your team a bit more. Such a profound level of moral cowardice.

I love this idea, but I think there should be some sport to it. My first idea is that the Oscar best actor and actress each get their eligibility back. Imagine watching that split screen when 4 people find out they’ll never work in their chosen field again.

Because they relied on its positioning in the episode to do all of the work? I mean, your argument is just that it was last so it was climactic. I disagree.

7 seasons about the wall, and it comes down in 40 seconds. Weak.

Except that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying he was also a shitty tackler, which is fairly incontestable.

It’s all my coworkers and I have talked about. Even since we got off work.

What a fucking embarrassment to the league. Christ.

This is going so well!

I get the sentiment but Tillerson was going through when Graham, McCain, and Rubio predictably folded. The Democrats need Heitkamp and Manchin to be reelected to have any hope of taking back the Senate before 2020. Yeah, fuck all three of them, but better them than the Tea Part alternatives that will replace them.

What was he mad about?

It was heavily redone several years ago and is now a world class civil rights museum, despite its flaws.
