  • Sure. But we're talking about an embargo. Everyone has the right to use embargoes, and they're a time-honored method of non-violent opposition. Framing this as the US transgressing some boundary is hyperbole at best.

  • The UN exists to prevent another major war between great powers. Alienating such powers is counterproductive.

  • Mr. Kise suggested that “the defense will have to give serious consideration to seeking a mistrial.”

    I guess this is a lawyer's version of telling people "I'm calling my lawyer" instead of just doing it.

  • Perhaps you've blocked all memory of the sex scenes?

  • So what are they planning to do about it? Oh, that's right: nothing. I'd call the GOP useless except they're clearly being used by someone.

  • He's the kind of lawyer that gives decent, hardworking ambulance chasers a bad name.

  • The Room (2003)

    Have you ever listened to someone complaining about how their ex mistreated them? The whining, the self-pity, the one-sidedness?

    That's The Room. Written, directed, produced, and starring the guy that's complaining.

    There's another, much better movie called Disaster Artist that explains how The Room ever got made in the first place.

  • For the unfamiliar: As the head of Desilu Productions, she was the one responsible for giving TOS a second pilot.

  • The implication is that only people on Putin's payroll wouldn't see it as treason.

  • Tuberville has drawn bipartisan criticism for holding up almost 400 military nominations in an effort to protest Pentagon abortion policy.

    Does anyone actually believe that it's about abortion? He's clearly trying to weaken the US military on behalf of foreign adversaries.

    I'd call that treason, but then I'm not on Putin's payroll.

  • In other words, the threats worked. All he did was invite worse the next time.

  • What's actually wrong with filing a lawsuit over it?

  • It's not for your personal privacy, or to spare you personal embarrassment. But rather because large-scale demographic data collection is dangerous.

    The Nazis used such collections to locate Jews. America used such collections to locate Japanese-Americans. The Rwanda genocide was facilitated by tribal affiliation being printed on ID cards. In none of these cases were the data collected for the nefarious purposes it was eventually used for.

    Information is a form of knowledge, knowledge is power, and power in the wrong hands is dangerous.

  • Proof once again that church and state should be kept far, far away from one another.

  • Trump couldn't even manage that.

  • Now the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken. Let there be no doubt, while I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. I accept the finality of this outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.

  • To the peaceful transfer of power, for one.
