It's the typical Trump half-measure. He says something radically stupid, gauges the reaction, then determines if he was serious or not.

The whole movie is a trip down Misery Lane, with a few stops in Fuckedups Town and Holyshitwhyamiwatchingthis-ville.

Key word is sense. If people can't have actual control, the illusion of control will work just as well.

Respectability politics only plays into the hands of those you're protesting.

Don't say you're against fascism, somebody might accuse you of being...anti-fascist!

Not only that, she's employed by the Heartland Institute, which is a conservative, libertarian think-tank.

That's an insanely broad question, but the simple answer is that any publication with a very clear and explicit bias and goal are to be viewed with skepticism. Right wing publications are especially known to portray the evil foreigners conspiring against America for their own gain. The Federalist and National Review do not hide their agenda, and i have neither time nor energy to listen to the ramblings of crackpots and cranks.

The Atlantic had a piece about how the WHO bungled their response, which I agree with. But to say that the WHO is "in their pocket" is the definition of begging the question.

What can I say? That you believe the communist party runs the World Health Organization? That that's an insane conspiracy theory spewed from the mouth of an insane person?

Like a parody! I have no idea how you take yourself seriously.

My favorite argument is "if we sacrifice X number of people, then everything will be okay!" They think that the so called opening of the economy will be like people just going back to work after a long weekend. My challenge to anybody who says we should just kill some people and get it over with is that your family and loved ones have to be first, and you have to do it. Also, nice use of Kung Flu, bud, you're a model soldier.

Exactly. Donate local, they make the most out of the money.

Not until we get private interests out of our political process.

See, I really like it. BvS, Sucide Squad, and Justice League were pale imitations of better movies, but Birds of Prey at least had a voice of its own and wasn't a bunch of hunky dudes sulking around being mopey.
