  1. In some sense yes but there wasn't much in the way of protecting pols from trump during his rise either.
  2. There are only two kinds of cars, automatic and manual. That's just basic engineering but what do I know?
  3. On the other hand, not protecting incumbents is why the gop is in the state it's in today.
  4. Sure and I think it's fair to draw conclusions about both of their reasoning. But it's not fair to be outraged absent the context of that reasoning.
  5. But that's still substantively different than being fired. You're explaining her right to sue better than justifying the outrage.
  6. Nobody was fired, wrongfully or otherwise. Rowling defended someone who was judged in court to have said plainly discriminatory and hurtful things.
  7. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT TO MEET DONALD GLOVER I ONLY WANTED A PICTURE YOU CAN'T BE DISAPPOINTED BY A PICTURE
  8. I read a compelling argument that the narcissist authoritan needs to have his "wound" "healed" by impeachment going down in the Senate. There will be huge pressure from trump to get impeachment into the Senate. He's going to go fucking nuts demanding McConnell take the articles and acquit him.
  9. Because you don't see with your eyes, you see with your brain. Complicating that is the structure of memories and how they're recalled which is more like pulling up the right metadata. Problem is when the brain's metadata for memories is incredibly similar it can bring up the wrong memory. This is why children often call their teacher's "mom" or parents mix up the names of their kids because this info is all in the same memory bucket and your brain hauls up the bucket rather than the individual memory.
  10. Yeah, I mean, I don't necessarily find fault with what you're saying but even despite the fact that if I had my druthers that I'd be rapid fire shotgunning a new article to the Senate every month I'm still not convinced that a leaner path isn't better.
  11. For better or worse House democrats believe and act as if they are in charge only of their majority in one chamber and not leading the national party. I definitely often complain that they aren't considering national politics or history enough with these decisions but even fully misplaced priorities isn't a sign of weakness.
  12. Quick morning thought is that I guess Trieu's elephant thing was meant to be "elephants never forget" but as like, a thematic thing.
  13. Depends on what context you assume is happening in the commercial. I assumed someone getting an exercise bike for their spouse would only do it if clearly asked but I can understand why other's life experiences would mean their assumption is a judgy, controlling husband.
