Even then, the Third Republic at the beginning was very close to bringing the Bourbons back. But, the Count of Chambord refused to accept because he didn’t like the flag.

Nothing has changed since the 60s. All the Watergate babies like Pelosi think they are above it but, they are no better than the Democratic establishment of the 60s calling for the FBI to bug MLK and other activists. And always for the same spurious national security reasons.

I’ve been looking forward to this project’s realization since seeing the pilot several years ago. I love the potential for world building and lore you can get from the story. I feel this is especially true for designing characters like the sinners, who come from different periods of human history and can each potentially have back stories tied to a different era.

I have to agree with the others here that the story is moving a bit too fast. I wish there was more time to explore each character and come to a point where they find some resolution as a part of the whole redemption theme.

I feel the musical numbers might be a bit tarnished by the pacing too, since some of them seem to start rather quickly/abruptly. Still, they are quite enjoyable and have gotten a few of them stuck in my head so far.

Overall, I feel it has been enjoyable to watch. One part I laughed at recently was the part with Lucifer’s rubber duck collection. It was funny because I used to have an adult cousin who collected rubber ducks just like that.

Here is a relevant story on birds in space during the waning years of the Cold War.

The Soviets were first in this area too.

They are despicable, evil people.

The contrast makes it so evident. You’d think you were reading from the politics subreddit based on all those comments. I wonder what the ratio is for true-believing libs vs paid posts/bots during these election campaign swarms?

Real dedication to keeping his hate pure.

When I was a kid, I used to just think that was just someone’s name that they put on the calendar.

I love those virus shapes. They always fascinated my as a kid in science class.

Cold War mindset. That whole generation had it in general. I kind of feel pity for his horizons being limited in that way. The capitalists waged the Cold War mercilessly, which included producing some of the most potent propaganda in the history of mankind. He just can’t break out of it, especially when his livelihood became intimately tied to their political institutions.

I’m surprised too to hear he supports a ceasefire. At a casual glance, I had come to associate him with the kind of resistance libs that were like “Iraq was bad but, Afghanistan is the good war.” People who never have a comprehensive critique of American imperialism.

In saying the above comment about museum pieces, I was referring mostly to when he did stuff like the March to Restore Sanity. I used to hear that sort of bipartisanship fetishization during the early Obama years from mainstream liberals as a response to the Tea Party. It was so nauseating, especially as the hindsight piles on. It all just seems about preserving the status quo to me, that is not at going to get any of the reforms that he wants that we might agree with him on.

I think more people on the lib-left don’t buy into it but, it’s still the default attitude among the geriatric leadership class of the Democratic party.

When the Chapos said we were cycling through the media of the 2000s, I didn’t think it would mean this too.

His political takes are museum pieces at this point.

When you put it that way, it sounds like they’re trying to do a sword hunt in 2024.

CNN talking head would be more on the nose, especially considering that they are the ones propping her up right now.

The solution to this will be trucks that are so far off the ground that they just pass over people under 6’3."

Every suburban chud will own a monster truck for towing their boat once a year.

We incorporate a small town in rural Iowa that specializes in dairy products. The primary is based off of which candidate the voters think is best at chugging a gallon of melted butter from a plastic milk container while standing knee-deep in cow manure. The voters cast their ballots at one of the 73 diners we built all around the town, where they vote by pouring a pre measured amount of milk into one of several mason jars. We call it the Hogg’s Point Butter Caucus.

Yeah, though the civic religion is either dying right now or transforming to survive.

Just like the Bourbons upon their restoration, the restored Democrats learned nothing and forgot nothing. They almost treat their right to votes and government as privileges granted by some secular divinity, more important than any currents of popular opinion.

Now I guess we wait to assess how cyclical their failing is this time around. Will it be different given the world we live in now is not the world as it was in 2017?

That’s a Pokemon? I’ve been so checked out since gen 5.

I guess buying a Magikarp for 500pk would be well worth it compared to over 100,000,000pk for that jet guy.

I hate how ubiquitous these things are right now without them being projected in the sky.
