It's the normalization of the process that made the holocaust so insidious. It was a paper pushing beauracracy, the victims were numbers, and everything was professional. The guards and commandants were pushed to up their numbers and be more efficient. Higher ups in the party masterminded the holocaust, but it was the middle management that made it happen.

I'm pretty sure he understands the joke, but it's not that funny and the premise is pretty tired. I would tell the author to try again and this time not to lean on such well worn tropes.

Do you know how our laws are made? The president doesn't actually pass legislation, that is the job of Congress. The president signs and approves pieces of legislation, thus making them laws. A president can voice their approval for a specific bill, but ultimately congress has to pass it before he/she sees it.

Well, no, thats just the one everybody remembers. In his first 100 days Obama signed on 14 pieces of legislation. While I can't find an exact number, the White House Archives website has 134 pages, with 10 laws per page, of legislation that Obama signed into law.

He's trying to run a country like he ran his business, and it's turning out predictably poorly. I have never seen somebody who needs such constant reinforcement that he is doing a good job.

That sentiment only goes so far. I respect the office of the President only so far as the person occupying it isn't a complete and utter dumpster fire.

More specifically, the episode Bad Blood.

Don't forget Kyrie Irving.

All he needed was for himself to be a good guy with a gun.

How can Snopes be "fake news" when it's not news to begin with?

The points in the post are about how ostentatious, showy events of "patriotism" are ultimately hollow. It's easy to go to a baseball game and take off your hat for the National Anthem, but in a practical sense it means nothing. And I love going to sporting events! And I would say service to your nation and your democracy, not necessarily your military/government, means more.

That's a pretty narrow definition of what defines a patriotic American.

That's some weird, Colin Cowherd type theory you got there.

If your dad left you as a kid (like mine did) it's probably best he wasn't around. As Veronica Mars says "the hero is the one who stays. The villain is the one who splits."

No, she did actually tweet that.

Ledger's performance is very, very good, but it doesn't push the movie into good or great status for me (as smithpa says). The problem with Nolan, for me, is that he's a technical wizard, but he's also very cold and calculating. My favorite of his movies, Momento and The Prestige, focus more on character rather than big, sweeping stories.

Yeah? Are you sure it wasn't that whole Holocaust thing? The historical revisionism when it comes to Hitler, and Nazis as a whole, is startling. They cut a bloody swath across Europe, Africa, and Middle East, but sure, it's just because he lost and a had a different "moral system" that he's widely seen as an evil person.
