The clip I really wanted to link was when Hathaway's character hears Caine reciting this again, rolls her eyes, then turns it off. That'd be funnier and more appropriate. But, couldn't find that one quickly. Unlike the poem I'm entreating you to rail against me as well :p But mostly there's just a sense of powerlessness as a foreigner watching it all. The outcome has a huge global impact, albeit much less than it has within the US, and all we can is encourage the Americans we know to turn out and vote. Something I think you should always do, pessimism aside, because I'm from a county with compulsory voting so everyone doing it is just normal to me.

Super excited. Also, it's still got Marianne Williamson and Corey Booker on there--I thought they had dropped. They would have had to inform the election officials in your state that they had dropped out BEFORE the ballots were printed. And I am sure states require a communication in writing from a candidate who has qualified for their ballot before they remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans have just said it's okay for foreign governments to interfere in our elections. Get on it, there are a lot of Republicans with skeletons in their closests.

That's not really true, at least in terms of the substantive effect you're referring to. The historians that will shape the narrative on Barr's role in the Trump administration will overwhelmingly be inclined to treat him..critically. Thing is, he don't give a shit, and there's no reason for him to - because eggheads are just part of the Comintern, duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Pretty good case being made by Steve Kornacki that this might be a big night for Klobuchar. @Tywin et al. - time to dust off and dry clean the gimp suit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When turnout is 40%, suppression is at an all time high, 30% of the population has 70 senators, and climate change makes more people more insular and more xenophobic? Come on, man.

Something I've learned recently is precisely how little I knew about my own nation's horrible history. And I'm sure I have even more to learn. Barrs conduct will either be a small footnote of badness or stated as a generally calming influence on Trump in that he was willing to go along with things. He isn't going to be marred by some grand horribleness because trump wanted an asshole to get a lighter sentence. Or any of the other bullshit hes doing. He will be remembered as a loyal republican, a good AG to two different POTUS, and maybe a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kissinger gets shit all over in academic settings, but he's still camping out next to the UN - as if he's perpetually sticking his tongue out. Anyway, just heard Yang is out. I can't believe the majority of the anti-Sanders vote in NH ended up between Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. You Can't Predict Baseball Politics.
