  • even in this statement

    But I believe that these new sanctions could endanger the very important nuclear agreement that was signed between the United States, its partners and Iran in 2015. That is not a risk worth taking, particularly at a time of heightened tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia and its allies.

    I’m not finding any evidence that Sanders has ever voted for a sanction in a final bill. It kind of doesn’t matter anyway, because the president just unilaterally imposes sanctions, it seems.

    Huge missed opportunity to set up a session of NFL Blitz for them. That would appeal to nostalgia-addled GenX and Millennials, and the game is more ridiculous and fun, but it’s still football, and you don’t have to know as much technical detail to play it. I’m not a Dem consultant who gets overpaid to be a clueless dumbass, sadly.

    Don’t be your own enemy. You deserve to conceive of yourself as something better than a deceiver, and you’re certainly not worthless. At minimum you should give yourself the same dignity you’d give any random stranger you see in public.

    I used to believe exactly what you just said about myself. The more I believed it, the more it actualized, and the harder it made my relations with others. The less I believed it, the less it actualized, and the easier it made my relations with others. It was difficult shifting my perspective of myself, and I don’t have advice on how to do it, but I would say to try to keep that in mind. Life’s hard enough even without me putting my own self-worth down.




  • I also used to think that was the point. Borat as a character was used to poke fun of American ignorance and racism. Maybe if I go back and rewatch old episodes of the ali g show I would still think that.

    But whatever that original portrayal might be, the current version is painfully unfunny and plainly racist unto itself. Not very different from white people going “removed” to do a fake Chinese accent.
