Miss Lindsay Graham apparently reads AoSHQ:
Requiring an FBI investigation of a 36 year old allegation (without specific references to time or location) before Professor Ford will appear before the Judiciary Committee is not about finding the truth, but delaying the process till after the midterm elections.

The LA Times is not upset at DiFi because she is making politics ugly,
they are pissed because she damaged the sexual assault gambit by sitting on the info and trying to make it an October surprise as well. I think timeline is this: Bint writes letter DiFi goes into action Bint internet history has to be disappeared Which takes a lot longer then they expected I think their *intent* was to come forward sooner, but they simply didn't get a quick enough response from FaceBook, Google, etc. I trust they'll be fixing *that* issue pretty soon. Geez, I wonder how long it would take Ace to scrub all my inane comments? I remember when a Free Republic commenter was up for a WH gig. He got scrubbed.

>>> Marvel's success will probably continue, but it won't be the monster it was anymore, I don't think.
Yeah James Madison, I think we've reached peak Marvel Cinematic Universe after the Thanos arc ends. At least for me. I got invested in this crop of characters and storylines. After half of them leave for other projects and we have to start with a new cast, I'll probably bail. Especially if the next arc of movies goes SJW as is the rumor. Not all the MCU films were perfect. But I think we'll look back at this time, like I do with the LoTR movies, and marvel at the alchemy that took place to make all the pieces work the way they did in telling a sprawly, complex superhero tale so well. Kevin Feige is to credit for this success. It was an impressive feat. Genres come and go in popularity. The problem for Hollywood is they are banking on the superhero genre movies to prop up all their problems and last forever. When that is not longer the case, the crash will be hard. Because they have proven in the SJW bent of films that they hate me and this country, it is hard to be too sorry for them. Posted by: LizLem at September 19, 2018 01:22 PM (hvf9s) 159

The only character in Black Panther who has a real story arc is M'Baku. I kind of wish they would have let T'Challa die and make M'Baku the new Black Panther in that movie. Now THAT would have been a twist. Posted by: Rusty Nail at September 19, 2018 01:23 PM (SN4NF) 163
137 122 I've said before, I'm seriously considering ending my Marvel movie watching with Avengers 4: Infinity War.
It's an amazing ending in a way. And I'm 90% sure that any way they 'undo' it is going to suck. Death should matter. Death should be final. Undoing it is weak storytelling. It's one of my big problem with comics made since the 80's. On the other hand, Marvel DOES know how to make a movie. So they should do fine. But I think they really peaked with Infinity War. Everything in the next phase will be a decline. Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, well-armed dreg of society at September 19, 2018 01:17 PM (bcbK ============ It's obvious that there will finally be deaths that matter in the next Avengers. We need to say goodbye to Cap, Iron Man, and a few others at some point. Them sacrificing themselves to reverse Thanos is a good place to do it. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Pre-Order The Battle of Lake Erie Today! at September 19, 2018 01:19 PM (ELUpj) I agree, the actors are bailing. But they really need to nail the 'how'. The Russo Brothers, surprisingly, are good filmmakers. Winter Soldier is one of the best movies I've seen, period. (in the top 100, at least) So maybe it will be good. But emotionally, despite Marvel Cinematic Universe kinda being my jam, I'm ready to stop. And that surprises me.

One of the biggest plot holes in Infinity War is how did the goon get into Wakanda when they have this big Gungan City type shield?
And really Black Panther sir, should have told told them to turn that section of shield back on after say ten seconds, then you could have taken down a lot more enemy without being swamped. Posted by: Anna Puma (HQCaR) at September 19, 2018 01:23 PM (bMk4I) 169

From the sidebar:
What happened to democracy in America is what has happened all around the world. As it matters less and less how you vote, you care less about voting. An example is the state (not fed, state) takeovers of public schools proceeded, local school board elections matter less and less, until who gives a shit? It's a feature of the administrative state. Of course, that itself happens largely because legislatures, over time, become increasingly corrupt, until their own power ends up in bureaucrats' hands. This happens partly because the legislators are so worthless that they'd rather not bother themselves to do their jobs, handing them over to others. But partly because some of those jobs really do need doing. And while Sir Humphrey would rather engage in make-work, he'd rather do something useful than allow someone else to do it.

My take: The article decries the lack of civic engagement by the public at large. They miss the basic issue. Peoples faith in government has declined in direct proportion to the destructive meddling of government in their private lives.

I noticed in Infinity War they never called Captain America that - only Cap. And his star had faded or torn off, and when he got a new shield, it was 2, and they were black.
I get it he is rogue from Civil War, but, yeah, Cap. Meh. I fiugre the only way to unroll the ending of Infinty War is some kind of JR Ewing it was all a dream thing.

>>> The reaction to Black Panther was shocking. I watched it and thought it was easily the weakest Marvel movie yet.
I am apparently a sucker for the Marvel films that go full Shakespearian family dramas; Thor is still one of my fave films of the MCU because of that, and it gets panned by most people. Black Panther does this, and despite some of the plot stupidity and weird geopolitics of Wakandian society I liked it. It helped that Black Panther had two of the BEST villains MCU has seen in a long, long time. Serkis was fantasticly charismatic, a nice shot of acting adrenaline. They should have found a way to keep him around, though his death is integral to pieces of the plot clicking into place. And Killinger made for an interesting foil to T'Challa.

It a Milleu movie, not a character or plot movie. And on those terms, it works. It creates an interesting fantasy world, like Avatar did. And it did it without indulging too much in anti-white bashing, which it easily could have.

215 I am apparently a sucker for the Marvel films that go full Shakespearian family dramas; Thor is still one of my fave films of the MCU because of that, and it gets panned by most people. Black Panther does this, and despite some of the plot stupidity and weird geopolitics of Wakandian society I liked it.
It helped that Black Panther had two of the BEST villains MCU has seen in a long, long time. Serkis was fantasticly charismatic, a nice shot of acting adrenaline. They should have found a way to keep him around, though his death is integral to pieces of the plot clicking into place. And Killinger made for an interesting foil to T'Challa.

Could be just indicative of the weakness of the D candidate there (despite her supposed strengths). Could be racial solidarity (since the R candidate is Latina). Still, I've been told that R's are toxic this cycle and it shouldn't matter. I suppose we might be getting to the point where identity means more than literally anything else.

Cameron Diaz, Yasiel Puig, and Cesar Chavez share little or no DNA. There is no "racial solidarity" there --- and far less ethnic solidarity than you might think. ---You CANNOT get a significant number of Latinos who ordinarily vote D to vote R by putting up a Latino candidate, even if the Latino is of the same race and ethnicity. ---Right now at least, the real benefit to running minority candidates is not the potential increase in the minority vote but in optics presented to the squishy white voters who want to vote R but are skeered of being raaaacist....because that's what R means, no?

I *think* the normal process (though this situation doesn't have any close precedents) is that the agencies will still go through the activity of marking out things for redaction, which will be discussed/argued/approved/over-ruled. As I said yesterday. So, some material withheld entirely, or redacted, is to be expected, still.
But there should be much more released than to this point, and in many cases all of the material in question. One funny backdrop issue, for the FISA affidavit (Trump has directed that two sections be released), is that the entire, unredacted FISA document has been in media hands for over a year, thanks to the leaky, er, criminal security chief at the SSCI.

>>> Hmm ... not entirely disappeared yet.
Posted by: Off the reservation at September 19, 2018 01:49 PM (vWMNq) Here's a summary of the Fan BingBing thing. She has not been seen in months. There is a good rundown on Breitbart too. Even Time isn't trying to cover for China. "Rather than detention and arrest, China is making systematic use of disappearances, says Peter Dahlin, a Swedish human-rights lawyer interrogated for 23 days at a black jail in Beijing in 2016. 'The world has never known the numbers of disappearances that we see today in China.' Black jails are not typically discussed by China's tightly controlled media, but the disappearance of Fan--who has more than 62 million followers on social media site Weibo--has brought national attention to the topic." http://time.com/5400559/fan-bingbing-missing-china-justice/ Posted by: LizLem at September 19, 2018 01:58 PM (hvf9s) 400

Howard Stern would have lie detector tests administered frequently to guests and staff as a bit. Administered supposedly by one of the top guys in the business. The results confirmed that lie detector tests are flawed at best.

Hmmm, this is potentially very bad. Report that administration is attempting to negotiate treaty with Iran on nukes and missiles.
Analogy with Paris Accord withdrawal is near-perfect. Problem is not details of deal, problem is fundamental basis of deal (with Paris, dubious assumption of CAGW; with Iran, assumption that nuke/missile behavior is the issue, when the issue is the existence of a capable relentless enemy regime, and cannot be tamed or contained consistent with our interests, period).
