Anathema-

Definitely in line with him pardoning people for things he thinks he should be excused from though.

Well, seven years is probably fine. Many more deserving recipients but whatever I guess I'll save my panty twisting for another day.

People are thirsty for candor from their politicians. That's one of the reasons I've been backing away from Harris.

False dichotomy. Running for Senator will help turn Texas blue better than VP.

But what will happen to the gun that has to stay behind?

Tells you something about Louisiana.

NO MAXIMUM PANIC

We can joke but this is something I think about a lot. Professional wrestling is like the science of audience engagement. There's a lot of good in their formula that can be used for campaigning. There are also parallels to the MARVEL formula. It works. No reason not to use what works.

"PAY ATTENTION TO US"

They should have done a series of mini one on one, or three way, debates that all led up to one explosive night where they're all in the same ring together. I'm not even joking.

Okay; but where is the lie?

In Communist Russia capitalist America, oppressors sue YOU.

Sean seems to have a big status quo bias too, this is a surprising take.

FWIW I think this kind of pedantry is a large part of what perpetuates the sterilization of politician-speak; it makes it seem as if the most important thing is to never say anything that could be misinterpreted, but that flattens all the poetry and passion right out of our language. To say nothing of the fact that it seems like her mission is to reject responsibility for the bad faith of her political opponents...

The only hero I've ever had or needed has been myself.

I also had the thought that this would be a great opportunity for him to switch to campaigning for Senate in Texas. He's qualified for the next debate so he can drop out gracefully, too.

Beto going full on Bullworth would be good for his campaign.

But you can be suffused with toxic masculinity regardless of how successful you are in fooling women otherwise or how skilled you are in bartering for casual sex. In fact the term incel didn't even originally refer to boys who were having trouble connecting with women; we have to remember the term was coopted by raging misogynists to convert vulnerable kids into hating women as much as they do. It would probably be better if we consider whether our own rhetoric might help contribute to that radicalisation .. Not for the shooters who have already gone all in, but for the next that might happen.

Gun ownership has been taken as a symbol of white privilege, something not available equally to all Americans, and so even without the NRA it's a partisan issue for Republicans. The NRA was always nothing more than a vehicle to measure a politician's adherence to the system that puts guns in the hands of white people (while uncritically supporting a police state that effectively bans gun ownership in the black community).

Depending on your definition of an ass beating, Kindergarten Cop 100% qualifies; not to mention his own wife in True Lies.

Arnold's best movies he gets his ass whipped. Shit, he's running from a fight he knows he's going to lose for the entire runtime of Terminator 2.

If the only group that fought for my defense was Hamas, why wouldn't I vote for them?

I didn't watch but that's what I heard.
