Should we really ban lead paint just because the EPA says it's bad? I, as a normal American, feel this is a decision best left to to Matthew Kacsmaryk.

Had that one on my shelf for a few years and finally read it when it won the Hugo. It was great and I've read 3 others of his since.

I want to say he'd pick Phil as his VP and we would have been in good hands, but probably it would have been John Kahn which would have left us in a West Wing situation

Sometimes it's hard to know who to vote for in local elections. That's why I appreciate this candidate letting me know he's a douche so I know to vote for his opponent.

Seriously. AC2, Widely regarded as one of the best in the series, ends with Ezio breaking into the Vatican and sword fighting The Pope (who fights back with a magic mind control Alien tech in the Papal Staff). Nobody ever bitched about historical accuracy on that one.

Absolutely absurd. Character based upon real person is "unrealistic" but a computer that can somehow allows you to relive ancient eras to stop a group of evil knights is just fine.

Hey I was a huge fan when I was 12! And is there a single other drummer with a drum line that every single person who hears it has to do air drums? (Goes back and listens to Illegal Alien, ok, maybe you have a point.)

But if it's an official act he does not need to pardon himself because he cannot be prosecuted under federal or state law.

Gavin Newsom would drown his mother to be president so the fact that he’s not open to any ballot-overhaul schemes should tell you a lot about whether that has a ghost of a chance of making him president

It wouldn't work. But nominating an uninspiring Garland and then not hammering McConnell over it and making it an issue was the worst possible choice.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

Now fully convinced they say Trump is immune. But they will also say that the decision is not binding precedent so it only applies to Trump.

Brown is a stupider choice because it would guarantee we lose the Senate. But I think he would be a decent candidate and a better president. Raimondo would be a terrible candidate and a terrible president.
