Well, I personally loved when Bill brought up the flooding along the Front Range of Colorado and Bill Nye pipes up with, "Well, that's climate change". Why does he continually try to cheapen the research being done by thousands of scientists?

I keep waiting for a Zizek/Mark Ames/David Simon panel. Someone who writes for this show has to read this forum. Sixty minutes of talking by the panel, with few interruptions by Bill and no New Rules. Make it happen!

When I saw that Pussy Riot and Taibbi were going to be on, I thought that there may be some mention of the Exile.  The Exile is where I first heard of Pussy Riot before there was a Pussy Riot (Voina collective). I found it bizarre that Taibbi claims that he is mellow, considering his outburst at the Vanity Fair journalist who was writing a retrospective of the Exile. However, it was cool to here Taibbi speak fluent Russian. Rob Lowe exclaiming that he usually gets the right to hit on the pretty one with her husband sitting directly behind her was  .

I liked the part where they started the ball rolling on an interesting topic, Iraq and Syria. Especially since they had Jeremy Scahill on the panel. Unfortunately, that lasted all of five and a half minutes to be cut short for Twitter Wars: starring those wacky two popes.

I like how the English teacher gets some blame for contacting senior staff in the first place. No talk of how the law enforcement officers may or may not have been overzealous with their questioning of the boy. Any teacher is trained to contact the administrative office out of a genuine sense of fear and being obligated to do so by the bureaucratic rules of zero tolerance. It seems like after Sandy Hook, they are expected to throw their bodies on top of their students in the case of a spree shooting. gently caress that.

Immortan posted:This kid making #1 international headlines in the world is beyond loving shameful. How about lets report on muslims with real problems such as Syrian refugees or the Kurds in general. Oh, I agree. I thought with 45 minutes of REAL TALK, instead of the usual 25, that they would talk about the situation in Europe more than say, Donald Trump's latest gaffe. For instance, he could have used the battle in the streets that occurred last Sunday in Stockholm between the Grey Wolves (Turkish ultra-nationalists) and the PKK (Kurds) as his latest piece of evidence that MOOSLIMS cannot be integrated into European society.

Gee whiz, the female version of Beaker kept talking over everybody, especially Jon Meacham. I like when they have actual intelligent guests on the panel and they are reduced to ten or less seconds to speak about the question at hand. Libertarians always have the simplistic hot take or unique perspective on every issue, no matter how complex or nuanced. Kind of like the Info Wars crowd.

Yeah, my bad. I quickly gleaned his wiki page and see he only has a BA in English Literature from The University of the South. I thought he had a PhD for some reason. My mom had to read his Jefferson book for her book club, which should have been a red flag to me. Without looking, next week feels like a Rushdie/Frum/shrill bimbo Bill is trying to screw panel.

Inferior Third Season posted:It's so loving stupid. I'm an American expat working in Denmark, and to do my taxes here is literally "Push this button to accept, push this other button to amend". Preach on brother. I lived as an American ex-pat in Italy and Austria for three years. I could not get a simple savings/checking account at the largest Italian and largest German banks in Bolzano, apparently due in large part to FATCA. Isn't the U.S. one of only two (or even the only) countries that will tax citizens earning money abroad? As in, you live in Europe, hold a valid permit to stay (permesso di soggiorno), have an apartment lease, work for an Italian research organization and spend your money locally. I would also add, and save money in foreign bank account but yeah. I understand there are agreements between the US and other countries, so there is no double taxation. But it would be so much simpler if I just paid the taxes to the country I earned the income in, instead of calculating the EUR to USD exchange rate on every single payday date. I know other Americans that worked in research, made a paltry salary, didn't file any tax returns and just simply started paying taxes again upon return to the U.S. They never were audited, even though they had a multi-year gap between filed returns.

Patty Patty Buke Buke! No, that's a good idea. I still watch the McLaughlin Group from time to time.  They really would benefit from excising New Rules, the comedy bit at 30 minute mark and then the next five to ten minute interview with rando Hollywood dumdum.

JFC, Bass Bottles. Roe v. Wade being overturned is highly unlikely. There's just too much precedent stemming from that initial holding that would also have to fall and SCOTUS is loathe to being that sweeping unless they are expanding rights. What you're more likely to see is more state law restrictions and even then Obama has been able to get enough lower federal court appointees to prevent too much damage. As for deportations, Obama has ramped up these numbers since he took office. Another thing the left in the US is silent on. Also, look at all those things Obama got pushed through when his administration had a majority in the House and Senate for the first half of his first term. Yeah, not that impressive, so maybe you should take a chill pill and realize that the Trump Administration isn't going to bend the arm of the Census Bureau in order to identify all Americans with at least 25 percent Jewish ancestry.

I think it had more to do with the fact that Tomi was surrounded by people smarter and/or having more life experience than her. I guess she felt a bit intimidated or was at least smart enough to know not to add any more white noise/garbage than she already had. Isn't her show just consisting of her speaking into a camera alone? I continue to watch this shitpile out of some sort of duty or for some masochistic effect. I got much more mental nourishment watching Jimmy Dore's recent interview with Mark Blyth for 35-40 minutes (nice when a host asks a question and then stands back, instead of interrupting or derailing the discussion with a lame joke) than I did watching any 35-40 minute Real Time panel discussion in the last xx shows.

RT at least has Chris Hedges, Mark Ames, Mark Blyth and John Pilger on. Who does MSNBC have? They fired the one anchor that was on the right side of history about the Iraq War and was terminated for that very reason. There's even written proof of it. Chris Matthews cheerleads the wars until they turn south. Now he scolds all those that pushed for it. Rachel Maddow gets 30k per night for Comcrap to carry the DNC's water. Poor Lawrence O'Donnell just yells at a camera in an empty studio for 60 minutes each night.

russia's no great actor but you can't tell me that the cia didn't foment the coup in ukraine. also, the troop build up in the baltics and poland. imagine russia or 'JINA! had military outposts along the us/canada border or us/mexico border. the us has 400 surrounding russia and 400 (overlap with russia) surrounding china. the us meddled with the russian election in 1996(?), it even made the cover of time magazine (yanks to the rescue). of course, you would never hear this on real time or cnn or msnbc. you would on RT but they're pure evil. maybe the war nerd podcast? john dolan and mark ames, two americans who spent a dozen years living in russia during the yeltsin/putin regimes. taibbi lived there for not as long but also noted that even if the russia hack is provable, the us has done the same throughout the world and it didn't really matter in the end as this is a deflection by the neoliberals to not address the fact that their candidate and (lack of) agenda was dog poo poo.
