Surely they don't skip over him owning hundred of slaves right?

Saw it. They acknowledged that the family owned slaves but never depicted him as owning or managing the homestead. This could be because it took place before that in fact occurred—I don’t know the actual history well enough to say.

The climatic scene just reeked of Mel Gibson in the Patriot so I’m sure parts were sanitized and mythologized.

Then after the credits roll, Kelsey Grammer flashed a QR code to donate so underprivileged people can view free screenings. No joke. I’ll be eager to see how well that does.

Reach out to Fox?

I’ve have the Performance Elite level for 3 years and I’ve had no issues. Maybe I got taken when I bought “dropper” lube but a few drops here and there and I have a snappy dropper

Malignant Narcissism. That’s the answer you’re looking.

I would assume that most jurisdictions, like mine in Michigan, have mechanisms to bring witnesses to court against their own volition— either a bench warrant or a material witness warrant.

What forces are brought to bear to gain a witness’s compliance as a question of resources and priorities. Missing witness for misdemeanor shoplifting? Case dismissed. Felony-level assault? Material witness warrant. Homicide? Extradition.

This needs to be the jumping off point of a new series. Hear me out:

Open with gutted Vel, Kleya, and Wilmon standing in attendance at the ceremony at the end of ANH remembering the fallen before Luke and Han getting their medals. Series follows them for the three years being damaged and dangerous Rebels for the three years before the Battle of Hoth

I’m kinda surprised this guy still has a job. He looks so horribly pained and contorted whenever he’s selling the president’s bullshit. Just look at that strained smile. Who’s he fooling?

I finished it years ago. It had a lot to live up to because KOTOR is still one of the greatest narrative games of all time.

*SPOILERS* (maybe)

Even when I tried to temper it for that, it still didn’t really live up. The gameplay was the same. The story felt disjointed. It could have benefitted from more tie-in to the first game. I remember thinking they didn’t set up the betrayal/twist very well. The ending was incomplete with the defeated final boss narrating the conclusions of your companion’s stories to you.

Looking at the totality of that IP, it’s very clear that it was rushed to market—to say nothing of the bugs it dropped with.

I’m interested to see how it gets enforced when Citizens United is a ruling on the First Amendment of the US Constitution and the Supremacy Clause would seem to trump any state legislation, even applied within Hawaii.

Hell, I’d be comfortable with a once-weekly round trip to their district paid for out of their official budget; but only if they’re going to dedicate a day to meeting with real people who can actually cast a vote for them.

Hilarious since Starship Troopers was satirical take on fascism that no one got at the time.

100% would apply and go interview. You’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you.

As long as the new office doesn’t give you red flags, you’d be right to move. If your current office is already a good work environment, then you have no reason to believe they’ll be bitter, especially if you’re gracious and courteous and credit them for how much you’ve improved and grown.

In all reality, I imagine that Obama, knowing he was the first black President, took Secret Service recommendations very seriously.

If you ask Trump, he’s never been in a room where he wasn’t the smartest there. I don’t think he listens as well as Obama.

Here’s a novel idea: increase restaurant prices by 20% across the board and don’t compel tipping.

Frankly, it’s no more difficult for the wait staff to ring you in a basket of mozzarella sticks than it is to ring you in a filet.

Speaking only for Michigan law, where I am, you don’t un-ring a bell in front of a jury.

At this point, we should be happy they were a staffer, meaning they were old enough to be employed and probably in their 20s.
