  1. Abbott’s reaction
  2. You missed the explanation to Joel as he came to in SLC “In The Last of Us, the surgery planned on Ellie in Salt Lake City involved removing the Cordyceps fungus from her brain to potentially create a cure for the infection. As explained by a character named Marlene, the surgeon's plan was to. This procedure would have killed Ellie. Joel, however, intervened, killing the surgeon and other Fireflies to save her.” Based on what we’re supposed to believe, Joel killed “the the only scientists in the world who could find a cure” and that the surgery that would kill her would have “led to a cure.” The reality, and I realize this is a show based on a videogame, is that Joel would rightly assume that killing Ellie so soon after being examined sounded dubious and not likely lead to anything but her death.
  3. Didnt find the “Houston, We Have a Problem” thread but this would go there https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/crime/article/turkey-leg-hut-marijuana-sales Basically Turkey Leg Hut was a front for weed.
  4. But what if Trump admits to a felony and shits his pants on national tv? Then the GOP will have to renounce him. Right?
  5. Keep it as is. Perfect as is. Purposefully omit enough letters as a code that spells, “GO FUCK YOURSELF!”. Add a misapplied “Literally” in the opening paragraph.
  6. Need some cameos from Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, and Detlef Schrempf
  7. Dance Mom storyline brings the LOLs. Emmy worthy performance for Nicholson
  8. With all due respect, this is a childish opinion. And, I mostly agree with avoiding wedge issues. Where we differ is on the ease of running on fundamentals. But wedge issues dominate the cycle and do so spectacularly. Fundamentals starts with campaign finance reform. Thats not an easy win, especially with the forces stacked up against it: SCOTUS, Congress, Foreign influences, and our own media (who sits at the trough).
  9. CDC’s been earning and burning, snapping necks and cashing checks. I think he deserves a chance at the Catalina Wine Mixer.
  10. A better analogous movie than Andor is A Few Good Men Weinberg is the old guard, occasionally even agreeing with the other side Galloway is the Woke crowd, wanting everyone to strenuously object on social media and protesting democratic leaders in self-owns. Going behind peoples back to do stupid things like going to Aunt Jenny. We need more Kaffees who use their gifts to systematically find a way to win, even if some risk is involved. Ironically, I see someone like Buttigieg in this role. And hopefully more and more gifted leaders and organizations step up, motivate and mobilize others and seek ways to win. Epilogue Maybe Trump is Colonel Jessep. Unfortunately, he confesses to felonies on a daily basis without consequence to himself.
  11. This thread is littered with victims of movements that were co-opted by fanatics and nefarious entities using sophisticated active measures campaigns. The Old Guard sees no path to victory in America taking on wedge issues like identity politics or taking a strong positions on quagmires like Palestine. The BLM (not an old guard movement) was a gift that keeps on giving for MAGA. Also co-opted. Palestinian protests against Dems is another gift for MAGA who leverages bothsides sentiment, even though they are firmly supported by rightwing Zionists no matter the MAGA foreign policy theatrics. There are no easy solutions and blaming Old Guard pragmatism is part of the problem many times.
  12. Add it to the pile
  13. They learned that from McNulty when he was working the marine unit in Season 2. They never solve floaters.
  14. Paraphrasing my favorite quote from Tinker Tailer spy thriller when describing his adversary at the KGB… The main weakness of a fanatic is that they’re always hiding a secret doubt. All people in the world will suffer with the degradation of modern liberalism in major nations. The magats will suffer the worst since they are generally poorer and less educated. Their thought process and logic will be warped and they’ll make worse and worse decisions as they stumble their way around the world.
  15. How’s Cooper Flagg’s defense?
  16. Hits nail on head. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-last-of-us-season-2-episode-5-recap
  17. Strongly disagree that there’s a plot hole. Perfect movie. Perfect woman.
