I think Trump’s War on Canada may cost the GOP more seats than any of his other awful wars. I mean, how can you hate on CANADA FFS and still look at yourself in the mirror if you live within a 1000 miles of the border?

Caravaggio is IMO the greatest Renaissance artist. Just breathtaking work after work after work.

Holy mackerel, Erin Gray! Another fave was Anne Lockhart from Battlestar Galactica. Good gracious!

They care about the freedom to be a bigot. I never knew that was the most important freedom of all.

But did you watch Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday night after Star Trek reruns because you were THAT cool you stayed home all the time.

The way I think about these bozos’ jurisprudence, the choice is between being “colorblind” or just blind blind.

Tucker Carlson has always been an anti-Semite, first and foremost. The Iran War has given him an opportunity to split with Trump but stay true to his own prime directive. He is one of the most despicable humans alive, among lots of competition.

Your hypothesis is the only one that fits Obama’s election. In 2008 in Indiana, at least one voter said “I am voting for the n——-.”

A lot of similarities to 1976. Horrible hangovers from a stupid, destructive war and a corrupt GOP president long protected by allies in Congress, for example. Inflation problems too. So much progress since then….

Your observation is an astute one, and it should be getting much more play. The Royal Navy and the US Navy kept the sea lanes open since 1805. This has been lost to anyone who has a few drones and a lot of recklessness. I guess it was a good run while it lasted.

I agree on Twin Peaks. It just … lost the darn thread pretty early on. I respectfully disagree with Peter Griffin’s take on The Godfather.

I think a big part of it is his B.O. You have to be in the cult to try to ignore it. Just ask that guy who passed out in the Oval Office.

Absolutely correct. He has amassed wealth using the government’s enforcement of contract and property law. Cancel his government contracts, and tax his property, and voila, balance can be restored.

I think she is smart enough to know it, too. I bet she did enough polling to see she did not have any constituency behind her.

A lockout is a certainty. The owners are itching for it, and they can go right ahead and f*ck themselves like they did last time.

I disagree with TN a lot (e.g., the PATCO strike), but he likes Star Trek, so I just cannot stay mad at him for long.

I suppose I meant blew the roof off and/or brought the house down. Either way, I agree it was an outstanding performance.

Galaxy Quest’s genius was adding flesh and bones to the normally expendable non-speaking character. And Sam Rockwell just brought the roof down with it.
