it’s astonishing because compared to 2008, 2016 might as well have been an episode of Teletubbies. as a reminder, in 2008 the Clinton party line was that all Obama Boys were a bunch of misogynist rapists-in-waiting following the orders of a secret muslim who ate dogs, and Clinton needed to stay in the race in case

Is a 6th place in the Iowa Caucus even possible, as a practical matter? According to caucus rules, if a candidate doesn’t have 15% of the vote in an initial caucus process, they’re deemed not-viable and dropped from the process before the second round of caucusing.

Booker is a significantly flawed but generally good candidate. I'll be sorry to see him go.

 You're not an intelligent person and nobody values anything you have to say.

Oh fuck, it ain´t.

A bunch of rave reviews gave me hope for Gravity too but it was a piece of shit

“Ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes”

Lol this fucking country. 

As Kurt Vonnegut said, we must be careful who we pretend to be.

Really - I saw the mini for the first time right before Chapter 1 of this adaptation, and was just blown away by Tim Curry. Even though I knew how great he was in general, he was good almost beyond words in this - I was expecting him to be, you know, menacing and creepy and all those things, but somehow I wasn’t

Or YOU just have bad taste.

On Junior’s last birthday, Trump sent him a card that read, in primitive Sharpie scrawl,

I interpret that as more “say whatever you want about politics around the event, just do it AFTER you praise the guys who actually died in the attack” more than “CONNECT THIS TO CLINTON!!!”.

How fucking hard is it not to say this stuff? Grown-ass adults on the internet still calling people “faggot,” “retarded,” “autistic,” “or worse. I get it if you’re 13 and still don’t know any better, or you’re in your stupid edgy teenager phase. But you’re not. Grow the fuck up.

Calm down. His eye is bloodshot. Jesus...

Except when it actually was just “the big three” shows were often given time to develop an audience.  Cheers is the classic example of a show which took IIRC two or three seasons to really develop into a monster hit.  It’s only really been since the tv universe has fragmented that they’ve become so cutthroat tht shows

Monopolies are the natural outcome of unregulated capitalism. To separate the two is naive. We’ve seen this before in the early 20th century and increasingly again lately.

Hey dummy, you don’t even know what an “ad hominem” is, so don’t boast about your use of big words. I didn’t even call you a dummy the first time — though I am now, since you’ve given me cause — but an “ad hominem” attack isn’t name-calling, it’s attempting to discredit an argument by bringing up irrelevant aspects of

Sorry, I can't, I have to take up the slack left by you, since you don't seem to be doing a good job when all you do is insult everyone who doesn't agree with you on every single thing 100%.
If anyone is doing a shitty job it's you because you seem to want to drive people away that might be on your side. Instead you

"Privileged"? LMAO! Being offended over a cartoon is the epitome of First World Problem privileges. This isn't an AIDS epidemic in Africa or starving children. Those are actual problems. This is a bored society of keyboard activists yearning for a "cause".
