Keeping Garland on deck would be best, if only to showcase beyond all doubt the sheer rank hypocrisy of Senate Republicans when they still refuse to confirm him, despite their ostensible reason for stonewalling being their wanting to wait for the outcome of the election.

Yeah, surely this will be the moment when the nation finally wakes up to realize the GOP isn't trustworthy. There is definitely much to gain by being polite, respectful, and playing by rules that only apply to one side.

I imagine Harry Reid did the equivalent of firing some shells at an area that would almost certainly have SOMETHING in it, but he probably did not pinpoint snipe the FBI file on Trump's Russia ties.

This is still pretty substantial of course.

Pakled posted:

Before it came out, yeah, but most people seemed to love it.

The difference between the new Ghostbusters and the new Star Wars is that the new Star Wars was really good, so only hardcore racists/misogynists complained about it being too "PC"after it came out, whereas the new Ghostbusters was mediocre, so the casual misogynists, who are much more numerous, are able to dogpile it as the worst movie and point to it as an example of "PC gone mad!"
I liked the new Star Wars more than any other Star Wars I think.

The new Ghostbusters was incredibly boring though. But I'm kind of glad it made a lot of stupid people very angry. Good to see where society's at on the deplorability scale right now.

Harry Reid might have some shady business dealings, and he might have screwed over some native Americans. But it's pretty clear from his years in public service that he is an honest man. I don't believe he'd have said those things in that letter if the implications weren't true.

A Winner is Jew posted:

Did you watch the Last Week Tonight segment on school segregation?

Because if so I would skip it.

Why? The thrust of that specific part was that white people who dress up in blackface aren't always doing it because they're consciously racist, but often just because they're extremely naive and sheltered from the fact that non-white people exist -- and it's precisely that sort of sheltering that's important to get rid of.

I think it's not fair to blame the kid who probably doesn't have the context to understand why blackface is offensive for doing what he did -- the problem is the system that allows that kid, and presumably his parents, to lack that context in the first place.

In a perfect world, when offensive things are done out of ignorance, you could just say "hey, knock that poo poo off, it's extremely offensive," and people would go, "okay, sorry, I didn't know," but usually the sort of person who's ignorant about why blackface is offensive is also likely to be really defensive about being informed of such, so of course it doesn't work.

Also in TV news, I thought last night's episode of Parts Unknown was really good and relevant to this election, especially the bit at the end where Bourdain gave a giant gently caress-you to Trump supporters. After watching that, I can't imagine why anyone would go, "nah, that's not the America I want, let's get rid of the non-whites and eat lovely bland food and have no culture for the rest of our miserable lives."

Technically it's a political appointment so yes, but it's for a 10 year term and there is suppose to be nothing political about his hiring or firing.

Of course that was before an FBI director put his thumb on the scale of an election.
