Second on boo for the theatrics; it's a good recap of him from stories I've heard elsewhere and good to see put together, but I could do without the theatrics and a couple of odd non-sequiturs throughout.

Wow, powerful

I think this is a tad bit overblown; I have to review agreements, (T&C/MSA/etc.) all the time and sometimes the wording is INTENTIONALLY vague and broad, and sometimes legal meanings of words and phrases are not the common definitions. It's why you have legal counsel.

I'm no fan of Trump, by any stretch, but a 70-year old dude who doesn't like to read fine print isn't terribly surprising to me.

"kindergarten up-skirt tee hee" is perhaps the best phrase to date to explain why anime very frequently irritates me. Thank you.

And I would add you cannot simply separate the individual and the institution. You may like them more or less, but they are reporting to the same leadership and controls as their peers. And I agree with sentiment that anyone with a reputation to uphold would not be on that network unless they had no other options.

Fine to hear a story, but at best a secondary source.

Uh, you are aware this is reporting from RT, yes ? WaPo may have egg on their face, but RT is an omelette by comparison.

Group Think / Herd Mentality do not equal 'rigged election'. You can complain about the media coverage, you can complain about campaign finance being broken, and of course gerrymandering, and you could easily make a valid point. But the implication of the 'rigged election' is direct manipulation, which is an ENTIRELY different matter; it's dangerous to play fast and lose with words when you have a populist movement that wants to believe anything.

I'm with you. My first thought was " Dude, it's Shang Tsung".

I would have also accepted Goro, however inaccurate as well.

That was...difficult to watch

Man, what is the deal with Russians and bears ?

I disagree on many points, but I respect the man. However, it irks me that the 'ask' is to straight to 'Gary Johnson'. Why don't Libertarians starting getting into local government and implementing policy, show that it works ? The other parties had to build coalitions and prove their policies work. Why do I only really hear about Libertarians on the presidential election ? And why should I take a risk on a candidate with ideals but no background/data/experience/party to back it up ?

Is it...too amazing ? My gut says some trickery here, but I'll be damned if it looks legit

I think you're taking a very narrow view on the point he eventually arrives to at the end. Shellshocked/PTSD/Battle Fatigue is the perfect example of the exact same thing being watered down into it's least offensive 'sounding' form. It's not two different things (say stupidity vs dyslexic). By using the raw form for something unpleasant, we don't get to mask the ugliness from anyone and we perhaps have a greater chance of dealing with it in some way.

He was certainly ahead of his time; I had a friend's FB post come up requesting 'tone-policing' because he felt the term 'hookers and blow' was disrespectful to sex workers. It makes my brain hurt.

Personally, I exclusively prefer hot grills.

I marvel how deftly Christians can selectively believe and remember the good things and just totally ignore the rest, and blithely assume that's what everyone does instinctively. It must be the age of the religion, where it just becomes commonplace to ignore the really old bits.
