Political parties are nimble enough to recognize a losing hand and adjust over time. For the Republican party in particular this is true -- we say all the time on here that they only care about the acquisition and use of power, not enacting some underlying philosophy with that power. They just tried to gain power to undemocratic way and ended up losing the House, Senate, and Presidency. I think they'll start realizing they currently have a losing hand in pretty short order, have to deal with the realities of needing actual votes, and somehow adjust to grab additional voters. My guess is that will mean putting a veneer of respectability back on the party so that young votes and non-racist votes are easier to get. I don't think they can adjust soon enough that they will avoid paying for it for at least one more election cycle though. I think we are in for crazy town Trump idolatry for at least until 2022 because Trump, Gaetz, Cruz, et al have the biggest microphones and will fight to keep it that way as long as they can. The consequences of this path won't be fully accepted until another series of losses. Then they will lose their influence.

So honoring greatness inspires others to greatness. So naming things after people reminds later generations of their history. So our world is more colorful than just a bunch of places names "Aspen Tree School" and "University of That Hill By the Highway"

Seems like a weird purity test. Particularly weird in the case of Presidents, imo, where there are tens of thousands of issues that their decisions will have a direct impact on. Of course negatives will be found. Was Lincoln a net benefit to the world? Obviously. Does it hurt my feelings that this school chooses not to honor him? It makes me wonder if Lincoln doesn't meet their standard, who does?

Some Ovaltine?

I was a little down on it. It only hit on the highest of high points that it left so many gaps. It was like 5 scenes from Europe, 5 from the Pacific. All presented very grand way so you can really enjoy those scenes, but it was only those few. That was my takeaway. Nothing even moderately obscure discussed. Hard to say negative stuff about it. I want to say what they did have was exceptional, just limited.

Damn.

I think you are getting bummed at the exact wrong time. The wave just crested, imo. We are on the backside of this. Think of the demographics that are driving this moronic behavior, and think of trendlines of those demographics.

I do love that the AMC/BB/GME fun distracts me from the fact that the rest of the market is a collapsing neutron star right now.

that's interesting. so it could be a cause of the murder in a very literal sense.

wow. I would have guessed that part of the early reporting was wrong. sounded to internet-y to me.

Yeah. I love that answer. "Wait. Are you an informant for the FBI?" "Uh, I don't remember being an informant for the FBI." Very credible.

How shitty would it be to volunteer to fight for your country just to have the seminal popular work on it portray you as the bad guy

Does the average Republican know who she is? Like, is there some Democrat equivalent that Republican boards endlessly mock (deservedly) that get no traction here because it is just the random junior representative of the elevendieth district of east york and we don't care what she says so we don't know her? All I see is Pelosi criticisms, plus Wired AOC replacing Tired Sheila Jackson Lee.

Ari is an embarrassment. I remember him being likable 20 years ago.

In what world are those two things incompatible? You can't have a trial on impeachment and have a functioning government?

with sufficient medical intervention, yes.

It's going to be great when he's the nominee and OK votes 75+% for a dude that supported the OKC bomber.

Not recommended: The American President. Mercy does that not hold up. It’s an Aaron Sorkin script so you expect A Few Good Men / West Wing quality dialogue but it is an absolute cringe fest.

cc: Bad legal takes.

actually just enjoyed seeing splosions. Don’t really care that I only marginally understood

I’m putting together a highlight reel of one of the more exciting players to ever put on a uniform. Batting section is up. What should I lead with? I dunno. Maybe a soft single to right?
