Pshaw. Voter turnout has surged among moderate voters, and your opinion is that it is a bad thing for Biden to get more and more voters in the habit of voting for him?

Respectfully, Sen. Sanders has repeatedly disavowed online harassment. He’s not cool with that, and he’s said so repeatedly.

So it’s better to have a man who is handsy with women, and doesn’t really do any denouncing of other men who yell at women online who don’t support him, than a man who insufficiently denounces other men who yell at women online that do support him. Got it.

Fair enough. If I went god mode, I’d go for far more radical changes that would turn states into nothing more than administrative units, and I’d just go with a straight parliamentary-style democracy rather than our constitutional system. I was selecting for policies that I think would stick long-term with my “Emperor

I’d say there’s actually something even more fundamental, albeit tied in to “righting the ship”: breaking the Republican hammerlock on the Senate. If I’d had my druthers, and been Emperor of the World for a day, the first through sixth thing I’d have done in that day would be to 1) abolish the filibuster in the US

With Trump, there is always a Tweet.

Now if you’ll forgive me for getting “political” for a second, some things feel like conservative radio nightmare simulations with invading barbarians and poor people “abusing the system,” but it never completely took me out of the game.It’s still a fun exercise in resource management and problem solving, because...

You forgot the prominent and repeated use of the term “appearance of impropriety”, because after all, it’s clearly worse for Democrats to seem corrupt, than for Republicans to be corrupt, under the well-known IOKIYAR principle.

“If we do it both, 100%,” Don Jr. said. “Let’s talk about who profited off of whose public service. Happy to do it. Let’s make it happen.”

You’re in for a pretty great experience. I’d suggest cutting S1 of TNG down to the following episodes:

Every Frame A Painting made a great point about how pain humanized Jackie Chan. No matter how good Jackie is, he still gets smacked in the face. And when he gets smacked in the face, it hurts, a lot.

Yes! I rewatched that one just two days ago and it’s quite noticeable—Kirk’s double has considerably darker hair. Which makes some of the trivia I’ve been hearing a little suspect—apparently in Shore Leave, Shatner wanted to wrestle the tiger. Dude, you can’t even handle getting pounded by Khan or Spock (multiple

I’d quibble and say “most young people don’t yet realize that they need that fight in them”, because they haven’t yet realized the full scope of the number of thumbs on the number of scales that will be arrayed against them whether they vote or not. Because they don’t realize that, of course they don’t realize that
