Sen. Josh @HawleyMO: "Some will say now that I am calling America a Christian Nation. So I am. And some will say that I am advocating Christian Nationalism. And so I do." Christian nationalism is fascism and Nazism as politics-and hawley is a proud fascist.

This is fantastic but I’m morbidly curious how the Conservatives on the Court try to create SCOTUS immunity in a few years.

Criticism of Biden is, as always, fine and can be effective in improving his policies and his strategy. But he’s the candidate and we need to support his candidacy for the good of the country.

It seems clear now that, for better or worse, Biden is staying in the race. So everyone who is opposed to Trump needs to rally around Biden and the sniping needs to end if democracy is to survive.

That does make sense. They associate reservoir dogs with being ‘cool’ and not with anything that actually happened in the movie bc 30 years later, they only remember the vibes and not the plot.

The cockamamie nonsense people are coming up with to avoid the nominee being Harris if Biden steps down is partly convincing me that the whole thing is just summer silly season Beltway boredom. It's the endless fantasy of a brokered convention now seeming tantalizingly close.

It’s not written in all caps, ergo it wasn’t written by Trump. Trump knows about Project 2025 but whoever has the keys to his account wants us to think he doesn’t.

I hope Starmer reinvests in higher education in the UK and not just to increase my potential escape options if Trump wins in November, but because it’s disgusting damage the Conservatives have done to education there over the past few years.

I understand why Aaron Sorkin has his fantastical vision of how politics works. I didn’t think so many people who ostensibly know actual politics would have such a similar view.

I was kind of hoping the Tories would fall so much that the LibDems would become the official opposition but the exit poll suggests that the destruction of the Conservatives won’t be quite that severe. Still, quite he electoral rebuke for Sinai et al!

It’s a little difficult to count because some countries celebrate independence from the UK and another colonial power, and I really disagree with counting Pakistan and Malta but…
The UK is solely responsible for about 53 independence days worldwide.

I enjoyed the series overall despite the problems, though I watched it about a decade ago and you’re probably right that it is less good now as other shows (partially building on Alias) have overtaken it since.

This ties into the Rambaldi stuff but even if they didn’t go that mysticism route and stuck with pure espionage it would still be annoying to discover, for the 3rd time, that, no, SD6 actually worked for a different group than wr said they did earlier.

All your criticisms are spot on. I would add, though, that my biggest criticism of the series was how every season-and-a-half or so, it would reboot itself, revealing a new bad guy or structure or situation that was supposedly there all along.

I would say that puts UK voters above US voters since the Republicans suck more and not everyone hates them here, but the UK put up with the Tories for 14 straight years while US voters were smart enough to get rid of Trump after 4 (even if we may not be smart enough to not bring him back.)
