  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Man this was so good. No complaints. Didn't even know there was a de-aging controversy.
  5. Came here to say that anyone who wants this almost certainly doesn't deserve nice things.
  6. The angry lady complaining about lawn manicures and bringing your jackhammer or welding torch to work says someone else is elitist.
  7. Or maybe it's like the novel and all the weird asides (lube man, elephant, UFO, Jupiter, etc) will all play a part in an insane finale we couldn't imagine.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
