also, re: the catcalling thing. i think y'all are reading too deep into that comparison. it was pretty clear through the wording that she was just comparing it to catcallers expecting a response. someone you don't know says some obtuse shit to you publicly and feels entitled to a response.

you can compare things without implying they're exactly the same in every way.

Question for American friends with a good aknowledge of the system:

In the UK and other systems, if a politician or candidate does or says something really bad they can get booted out of the party ("withdrawing the whip"), even if they have already been elected. In such a case they keep the post but are independent.

Does this happen in the US? I ask because I keep seeing Republicans who have said or done absolutely outrageous things just carrying on no problem. Like Missouri "Jewish conspiracy to steal baby organs" and "Hitler was right" guy. How on Earth is he allowed to stay in the party and run for election as a Republican?

I mean, we still have means to remove them from office. And you just said that kicking someone out of their party in the UK doesn't actually do anything. They just carry on at their post as an independent. So, wut?

It makes it A LOT harder to get elected; it effectively ends their career come the next election. It also suspends a lot of the benefits they get from party membership. And most importantly it makes it clear that the party does not stand for that stuff.

All of this stuff still holds true in the US when a politician gets disowned by party leadership, minus the ability to officially boot them from the party. We just have one party right now that is ok with its members doing a lot of unsavory stuff.

I am proud to have fought for and secured the LOWEST African American and Hispanic unemployment rates in history. Now Im pushing for prison reform to give people who have paid their debt to society a second chance. I will never stop fighting for ALL Americans!


Lets hope theres some real action on prison reform. I want to believe!

I'm like 90% sure that the reform, if it happens, will just be increased privatization of prisons and reduced oversight of cops leading to increased disparity in how cops treat people of different races.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but that's what'd be consistent with the administration's actions so far.

There is no chance of you being proven wrong

the GOP is absolutely in favor of private prisons and you know Trump would be

they are not going to make the practice of private prisons illegal, which it needs to be

Interesting article about the Gulf powers. Vaguely related to football but has a much broader scope

http://www.josimar.no/artikler/the-men-behind-manchester-city-the-dark-side/5040/

The ruler of Abu Dhabi, Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZ), and the ruler of Saudi Arabia, Mohamed bin Salman (MBS), are the Gulfs gruesome twosome, and the architects of various harebrained schemes designed to get the upper hand on Qatar. Take, for example, what the auctioneers Christies described as a historic night in New York in November 2017, when representatives of the Saudi crown prince paid a world-record $450 million for a Leonardo da Vinci painting, Salvatore Mundi. Christies proclaimed that the stunning price reflects the extreme rarity of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, but a more amusing theory later emerged.

According to a source close to the Emirati leader [MBZ], MBS only paid so much for the painting valued at $80 million because he thought he was bidding against Qatar. It turns out he was bidding against MBZ, who also thought he was bidding against Qatar. When the Sheikhs realised their error, they swapped the painting for one of MBZs yachts, and that is why an overpriced picture of Jesus is now one of the main attractions for visitors to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.


I've never wanted a news story to be true more than this, lmao

And how many of our regulars parroted those arguments that the unemployment rate was artificially deflated? I could name a handful.

Like yes, I agree that him forgetting the man's first name is absolutely asinine. But I also think it is slightly less of a big deal.

Sorry I'm approaching this from a game show participant mindset not a "confusing the president of the US with a terrorist" mindset

Starting at the name Obama and going "UHHHH" is way more baffling to me than spitting out something wrong and stupid, especially on a show like Pyramid

Although, it's actually kind of interesting from a Pyramid perspective where the other person basically has to go "Barack, Michelle" and just hope they draw the connection
