Roy Moore Beats Trump’s Choice To Claim Alabama’s GOP Senate Nomination
Populist Roy Moore Projected to Win Alabama GOP Senate Runoff Over Trump-Backed Candidate
I take issue with this framing.
The story isn’t – Trump-backed GOP Senate nominee loses to Roy Moore
The story is – Right-wing theocrat wins GOP Senate nomination
I see no reason why a bot wouldn’t show up if you search for it. I’m willing to bet that he deleted his account.
This appears to be him;
They are not protesting the anthem.
bullshit
If you think they have a problem with the anthem, you’ve got the real problem because you aren’t thinking logically.
If they have no problem with the Anthem, why are they protesting during the Anthem?
Because we’re talking about it! Because you’re mad about it! They want to draw attention to their cause, and it sure as shit worked because we’ve had this conversation several times. They want you and everyone who shares your opinion to turn your anger towards the object of their protest–the reason why they’re disrupting the oh-so precious Anthem.
NFL players aren’t protesting the anthem, they’re protesting police brutality. That’s like saying hunger strikes are against food #TakeAKnee
Please read past the first 6 words this time.
Warbler, is there any level of protest you would accept during the playing of the national anthem?
No. It is not a time for protest.
Says who?
says me. The Anthem is a time for reflection and honoring the country and what it stands for.
That’s what it is for you. You’ve chosen to make it that.
And so has every other American until last year!
Uh, no. Not every American was on your side until they suddenly weren’t last year.
We have truly reached a low point in our society.
Yes, I agree - the president has publicly called citizens peacefully protesting “sons of bitches.” Despicable.
Citizens peacefully protesting:
Would it be wrong for the President to call them “sons of bitches”?
The only comparison you could make that’s more absurd would be to bring up actual Nazis.
“Hey, Nazis were upset with the state of Germany, these football players are upset with the state of America… you think that’s a coincidence?”
NFL players aren’t protesting the anthem,
And that’s the problem.
I can’t say for sure whether free college is a good idea or not; but I do think it’s interesting how it was met with cries of “it’s going to be so expensive! we can’t afford it!” yet nobody bats an eye at increasing our already insane military spending.
Something came up today that drew me to this delightful thread.
My AP teachers seem to be unaware that I have 6 classes I’m taking at the same time, not just theirs.
For about the fifth time this week, I heard a teacher argue how easy homework is to fit into one’s schedule. They say something like “Oh class, don’t feel cheated, I only give 30 minutes of homework a night.” That would be just fantastic if I only took your class. But every one of my other teachers has the same exact mindset so that daily 30 minutes of homework turns into daily 3 hour sessions for homework.
Hey, 3 hours plus the 8 you spend at school is only 11 hours of your day, and you only need 8 hours of sleep. Really, the teachers should be giving you much more homework; who knows what could happen if students were to have, god forbid, free time?! 😛
I found this, and I think it looks really nice. I’d post it in the Random Pics thread, but it’s a bit spoiler-y.
The cop didn’t rob him. He seized illegal profits.
Was that money illegally obtained? All of it? Rhetorical question, don’t answer. Let’s say “sure, he made that money committing the heinous crime of selling hot dogs,” what about everyone else who’s been stopped and had their money taken? An officer can take their money if they even suspect it was gotten illegally. The only way to get that money back is to prove in court that it was actually obtained legally. Is that not guilty until proven innocent?
I have a feeling that if this guy had been white and spoke English, no one would make a big deal about him getting ticked and his profits seized.
Funny, I have a feeling that if he was white and spoke English, he’d have had a much easier time.
I am confused. What is the big deal? The guy was operating without a permit. That is against the law.
Then arrest him, don’t rob him.
Just finished watching, so here are my thoughts.
The opening space battle seems a bit too dark and contrast-y, IMO
I think the “never an elevator when you need one” line could be louder, and I don’t think Anakin’s reply is necessary
“Good view from up there” is very hard to hear, I’d make it quite a bit louder
“No loose wire jokes” could be a tad louder, Obi-Wan’s reply moreso
I really like how you re-edited the Dooku battle, the omission of Anakin’s yells, particularly; it makes him seem much more powerful and Vader-like
I like Anakin’s laugh when the ship lands
The cutting of “…master” from “Forgive me, master,” was pretty rough. If it’s too hard to fix, I’d say it just isn’t worth removing, and perhaps it could even make sense for Anakin to be more ‘submissive’ when speaking to Windu
I feel like switch between Anakin and Padme laughing to a serious political discussion is too sudden. I think it’s because the “what’s the matter” is in a playful tone. What I’d do is maybe start their laughing a little bit earlier in the establishing shot, giving a greater pause between the laughing and Anakin asking what’s wrong; and replace his silly “what’s the matter” with something similar, albeit asked more seriously (if you can find an audio clip that fits)
Anakin’s response to Padme’s question doesn’t seem like a real answer. It seems like they’re having 2 different conversations, IMO. Perhaps cut the “sometimes I wonder what’s happening to the Jedi order,” line
I really hate the “hold me like you did on the lakes of Naboo” monlogue, and I’d love for it to be cut
I like the Pazaak music
The changes to the opera scene were subtle, but well done
Anakin agreeing that Obi-Wan should go to Utapau makes him seem much more mature
I really like what you’ve done with Obi-Wan’s “farewell” scene
The way you’ve re-done the Palpatine revalation scene really does make Anakin seem more autonomous
I love everything you’ve done with the birth of Vader scene
I like what you’ve done with Obi-Wan’s reaction to the security footage
Overall, it’s a damn good edit, and probably the best version of the movie there ever will be without totally overhauling it.
It’s so bad that one post doesn’t do it justice 😉
I would say that a Regular American is one who is a born or properly naturalized citizen with appreciation for the Principles that have fostered everything pleasant and decent in American society and who have considerable desire to live their lives according to what we all, underneath it all, know to be True (this will shock many, but that doesn’t include “transgender” 9 year old boys in skin-tight pink outfits on the covers of our most august publications.)
So what you’re saying is: people who don’t like the music that you like are not normal; people in a certain region who don’t appreciate the things you perceive people in that region should appreciate are not normal.
People who play D&D are not normal. People who dress up in funny costumes and go to conventions to hang out with other people in funny costumes are not normal. People who do not dress how you would have them dress are not normal. People who are not politically conservative are not normal. …and people who belittle others in a Politics thread on a Star Wars forum are not normal. Wait what?
You, sir, are not normal.
And I would say that your assertion that only normal people are pleasant and decent, while saying eccentric gay people are not by default, just speaks to your narrow view of what is pleasant and decent. Especially because you are being neither pleasant nor decent.
The Bible does say that the Fruit borne of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Such things are ideal, but we live in a fallen sinful world, with hurting people, who all have their own hurts, habits and hang-ups. You are no measure by which to judge how “normal” said hurting sinful people (including myself) do or do not match up to that ideal. Especially when American culture in general is extremely selfish and doesn’t place much value in many of those traits.

The biggest difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals don’t trust the powerful corporations, and want the government to regulate business while staying out of their personal lives; conservatives don’t trust a powerful government, and want the government to regulate society while staying out of their business activities. People from either viewpoint are equally normal.
I like most all genres of music. I can even find a few raps to appreciate.
Is this one of them?
*sigh* Why‽ Why do want to take are ability to vote for are US Senators away from us?
Huh?
Everybody says ‘Bernie would have won’ or ‘Bernie wouldn’t have won,’ but I won’t really believe either until I see some polling data.
I think the DNC as a whole is partially to blame. The very fact that there is a superdelegate system, disproportionally and undemocratically favoring the voice of the elite, allowed Hillary to grab the nomination when the more likable Bernie Sanders might have defeated Trump.
While there is no way to prove that he would have won, I feel he easily could have better united the Democrat Party and that his supporters were far more passionate than Clinton’s. Heck, Jeebus here protest voted against Hillary. I doubt there would have been much of that against Bernie, even among Hillary supporters. I’ve no doubt most would have gone ahead and voted for Bernie as their number two pick.
I think the unification problem had more to do with Bernie’s supports (and to some extent Bernie himself) than Clinton herself.
Yup, screw Bernie. How dare he be such a good candidate that Hillary looked bad in comparison 😛

I was thinking about it, but I ended up not voting. Didn’t feel good about going into the booth for either one of them, but I see now who was the better of the two. Hindsight’s 20/20, I suppose.
If a lot of people really love n group
How dare ye. Reported.

Maybe I’m just tired but those graphs are extraordinarily confusing.
I was confused too, but I think I figured it out. The x axis is how you feel, with the right side being ‘very positive’ and the left being ‘very negative’. If a lot of people really love n group, then there would be a tall spike on the right side, if a lot of people disliked that group, the spike would be on the left. If very few people liked that group, the spike on the right would be much smaller. You were probably joking though.

https://youtu.be/mmk8lV2r2o4Funny trailer, but I’m not convinced that James Franco can pull off the accent. In his defense, nobody could pull it off perfectly.
I’m convinced.
