The entire companion concept was underdeveloped (not surprising with only 17 episodes), and needed a defter hand than Whedon had.

And the answer is "not really, that's just how pernicious the Lost Cause myth was", but, like, still.

Even at the time, I was like, "Wait, does this show think we should root for the Confederates?"

The dumbest part, and that’s a stiff competition, is that who’s even left to surrender?

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Trump on terrorist attacks in America: “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

People in my mentions blaming Jeffries and Pelosi for defections, and you shouldn't. Both whipped hard for yes on this, Pelosi was personally arguing with yesses on the floor until the vote closed. If you were following this previously, you'll see that some who had said they were voting no flipped

It’s also clear that his stroke deeply affected him, but honestly he just was never thoroughly frisked on the issues.

TBH, it’s not really clear how much he changed. He was pretty open about Zionism, he was clearly iffy on guns and the environment…a lot of us (yo) just ignored it all bc he wore a hoodie.

I don’t understand how you do this without Whedon, and you can’t do it with Whedon.

Lets two of us ask!

The recourse is the next election.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Age, lack of charisma/Senate Brain, loyalty to an unpopular President in a midterm.

In addition to that, Cornyn has hardly been disloyal to Trump (to such an extent that Trump is likely to endorse him).

I think this is verging on semantics. We can call it whatever, but if a candidate cannot reliably turnout his party’s base, he’s got problems.

That’s my conclusion!

Yeah, “out of step with the party’s base” is a sign of poor candidate quality!

The first thing is just “Scoreboard.” Incumbent senators don’t get pulled into scoring 41% in a primary without significant problems.

Fetty is already a public yes.

You can, it’s just a tradition that they don’t.

I think he’ll prove to be a bigger political liability than Noem.

I think the assumption that Cornyn is a higher quality candidate than Paxton needs frisking.

"I'll Be (half of) You"

I should've known something was up when the morning started with U2 discourse.

Honestly I think Bono would consider this a major compliment.

Sean O’Brien Sold Labor to Trump, and Got Nothing The Teamster boss has cozied up to the GOP, but the Republicans’ anti-labor politics are the same as ever.

"Elected as a union militant [...] O’Brien has spent the last two years shepherding the lambs of the American working class straight to the slaughter via his endorsements and promotions of some of the most reactionary, anti-labor politicians in the land."

I liked Vertigo (I didn't give a shit about "CATORCE!") but that was the only thing I liked about that album.

Well, actually the album title was cool, too.

I think JT and AB are both All Timers. ATYCLB is pretty good, tho not nearly at that level, and it's 20 years old, too.

The Texas of it all is a big factor.

Except it’s not a shame to lose him, lol
