watching the first BEVERLY HILLS COP and it is always shocking to remember that eddie murphy was 22 when he filmed this. the guy acts on screen like he’s never not been a movie star. it’s extraordinary.

I thought 2 was the funnier one. It's not a Stallone movie that Eddie parachuted into. And Axel is just friends with the other cops now so they can spend the whole movie just playing off each other.

Yes but it was saved by George Lucas, who fired the original editor for doing a bad job, then hired three editors to work with him to fix the movie. One of these was his talented wife.

In 2000, Virginia requested the return of their colours. Then-governor Jesse Ventura replied simply: “Why? I mean, we won.” Repeated calls in 2002, 2003, 2010 and in 2013 for the 150th anniversary have led to the same reply. Minnesota remembers its own. /END

2nd July 1863. Battle of Gettysburg. For perhaps the only time in the entire war the Confederates seem to be winning. Dan Sickles, commander III Corps, is ordered hold on Cemetery Ridge. For reasons unknown he advances. Broken, his men begin to flee. This is the moment on which the war depends /1

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

Yes, maybe there's some clever version of hardball Biden's team can come up with, something that doesn't involve ordering assassinations. But one thing he *should* be able to say is "I reject the idea that the president is above the law, and I vow never to use this illegitimate 'immunity' defense."

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.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

That “Black jobs” seems to be the main thing from the debate to go actually viral on social media should give certain columnists some pause about their pulse on the campaign.

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

A developing possibility is that the very small number of undecideds gently trickle towards Biden because they’re totally uncynical while the panic from the most cynical people on earth sparks a “he needs our help” response from small dollar Dem donors.

this idea that the bible was a significant influence on the constitution is obviously widespread but i've always been struck by insane it is. not that evidence matters to these people but if there's anything we know for certain about the 1787 convention it's that the bible had nothing to do with it.
