@EylonALevy Repulsive invocation of nonviolence by a member of this genocidal party of ours -- also comparing the US and Israel to the racist segregated American South (re MLK) and the brutal discredited British Raj (re Gandhi) is an interesting take-- not saying he's necessarily wrong ...
@TamunoDavid2006 By fall straight do you mean first rate, as in I'm first rated when I don't know how to spell something
By iiii surely you mean eyel or I L
?
@TheCinesthetic Such a good-natured scene-- instead of playing out the initial catty hostility Pinchot tosses out the charming little seductive wink and then they bond over the ludicrous art piece (iirc it's a group of shackled mannequins around a dinner table set with rotating mannequin heads)
@TedRall He was always tremendously warm and caring to his constituents, by which I mean he never publicly expressed any desire to vaporise them with nuclear weapons
@Chicago_Ben@DanMKervick It's basic decency to not desire to immolate 2 million human beings-- let alone to avoid stating that in public. And in a way, the fact that truly decent people like us never find ourselves sharing gyms & restaurants with monsters like this is my essential point
@Chicago_Ben@DanMKervick ... but if I was a rational political leader whose opponent stated in as many words that we should drop a nuclear bomb on the Gaza strip (as Graham did recently) surely I could be forgiven for expressing hostility towards him?
@Chicago_Ben@DanMKervick Doesn't that depend on the amount of power the colleagues have? I'm an office worker and I would never disparage a colleague in public, unless maybe they committed a serious offense (harassment, embezzlement, ..?)
@Chicago_Ben@DanMKervick No. I would guess you fall into my category of voters who find it "heartwarming" and honestly that is the most intriguing category to me, especially if you strongly and passionately disagree with either side.
@Wangenstein@DanMKervick .. and never condescend to consider objections from the hoi polloi, especially if intemperate or uncivil. This is certainly one of the most plausible explanations
