  1. Trump may end up being great for the environment, despite his best intentions.
  2. OMG, she has a friend who uses coupons. She really has her pulse on poverty in America. Also, I don't think she really understood The Emperor's New Clothes.
  3. I assume someone already posted the Singapore PM’s address to his country?
  4. Jesus, what a fucking moron. He thinks "our trade deficits could have been ironed out with a phone call." No. Trade deficits are the natural reaction to one country's economy being stronger than another. We have trade deficits because we have more money to spend on stupid shit than people in other countries and their workers are more willing to do harder work for lower pay. The only way we are going to "iron it out" is by destroying wealth for the average American consumer/worker, which is exactly what Trump is doing. That's what the moron voted for.
  5. Hey, we’re all brothers in arms here when talking politics, but it always amuses me how much y’all think people think of you.
  6. Just as a reminder, these dipshits were around during Trump's first presidency, which included Trump redrawing lines on a hurricane map, Trump saying windmills cause cancer, Trump saying that global warming was a Chinese conspiracy, Trump saying that we should rake forests, and, of course, the daily barrage on common sense while a global pandemic was killing thousands of Americans per day. They don't get to pretend that this is a surprise. They don't get to pretend they didn't have the data. They just didn't think they'd be personally affected.
  7. Same. I haven't been able to stomach the news much recently, but holy fucking shit.
  8. I mean, if that was the full story, she'd be divorcing him. There aren't that many truly liberal/progressive women out there who would stay with a Trumpster. Either she is the one who initiated the break-up or she is pretty moderate.
  9. I have mixed feelings on it. On one hand, it is regressive as hell. Infrastructure shouldn't be just for the wealthy. On the other hand, it should drive better practices to reduce stress on the infrastructure and mitigate environmental impacts.
  10. I expect Trump will just distract the masses by making a big show over attacking poor/powerless immigrant communities. I am very worried about the Haitians in Springfield OH (despite their documented status) as well as Asian communities in the Seattle area (because I live in Seattle).
  11. This seems to be a pretty big game for a workday morning.
  12. I know he said it was a way to "relax" on a day off, but what a smart way to put peace talks into context. Also, it never ceases to amaze me how much better the World knows America than America knows the World.
  13. RIP, Mr. President.
  14. That seems about right. It was really jarring in Sports Night (1998-2000), but wasn't in The West Wing (1999+). Sports Night demonstrated how poorly the laugh track worked with more styles, like Sorkin. With Friends, you have that pause/react for laughter. But with Sorkin, the dialogue is quick and is meant to be somewhat realistic, with no one pausing to make a funny face in reaction to something clever.
