It seems the play is to make the whole process as aggressively apolitical as possible; and if the argument is that facially impeachable things happened then acting with this speed is the only appropriate action. I do think, though, that this lawless ass needs to have his feet held constantly to the fire so my hope is that referring articles isn't the end of the investigations.

Television Ryan Reynolds Aviation Gin commercial
Anathema- replied to Remarkableriots's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
The commercials make me really want to try this gin so argue at the margins all you want I'd call it a good campaign. -
Uh bro our tax policy has been designed to fuck over the poor and middle class for almost 40 years now. Taxing the rich is about parity, not tribalism. We need to tax the rich more because we used to, by necessity, and then stopped. I assume then by what I quoted here that since it's facially necessary that you'll be supporting the policy.

Came here to say that anyone who wants this almost certainly doesn't deserve nice things. -
The only necessary outrage is against saying the prince's name in public.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

The fabled white Latino strikes again. -
Not everything has to be mind blowing! The point of that twist was that she's going to need to work harder than coincidentally being brought next door to Will and then barging in the room. Not anything having to do with an elephant. This is part of Damon's real flaw as a writer. He's so good at legitimately mind blowing twists and he's such a master of foreshadowing that his work encourages you to look for deep and complex answers everywhere, to everything, and not getting that complexity you're anticipating is disappointing. Might as well rip the bandaid off now; not every question has another question for an answer and some things are just-so. And I may be wrong about this one! But I think it's more in line with Lindelof's work that an "inexplicable challenge" has a mundane answer and the crazy stuff comes when he's answering questions that he can no longer delay answering.

Lindelof does like to tease confounding questions that have straightforward answers once you have the full context. A polar bear on a desert island turns out to have a very easy answer just not when divorced from the full background. It could just be a case of it being a large animal, though, and they need a lot of cerebrospinal fluid without human memories to flush the system and not strictly because of a colloquialism. But yeah I would expect a rather mundane answer to that one.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

Ordered online, paid in person. -
I assume it's nine in an homage to the original novel's nine panel pacing. As far as whether Lindelof will stick around, he's been excessively coy since Prometheus. He said he didn't have much planned for The Leftovers either. Considering the buzz, the #1 thing HBO cares about, is stronger and louder than for any tv show in recent memory I have zero doubt he'll be back.
