But Hillary has problems here due to her overall alignment with the Obama administration's policy on North Korea, which is charitably called "strategic patience"-- the application of sanctions on North Korea and working as closely as possible with China on the issue.

The creation of IC GovCloud should send a chill up the spine of anyone who understands how powerful these systems can be and how inherently resistant they are to traditional forms of oversight, whose own track record can be charitably described as poor.

Witness what happened when the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced a willingness to support pro-life candidates — a move that could be charitably interpreted as trying to shift the Democratic Party back toward the older model of a big-tent ideology.

Given that President-elect Trump has an unconventional managing style (or, to put it less charitably, often appears uninterested in the basic business of running the federal government), the surprising thing would in some ways be if Trump had had substantive policy chats with them.

But "Nightflyers" -- a series based on a 1980s Martin novella -- proves a tediously generic haunted-house-in-space odyssey, one that Syfy is either (charitably) experimenting with or (more likely) rapidly exhausting by making all 10 episodes available simultaneously with its linear-TV debut.

After years of image-toying that could charitably be described as culturally appropriating, the promo cycle around her latest album has seen the pop star trying to refashion herself as "woke," while still taking numerous swipes at Taylor Swift and keeping their feud ablaze.

The reading of the film that has swayed me slightly toward feeling more charitably toward it (and even were I to adopt a "the movie's better than its critical reputation" stance, I'd still find the filmmaking junky and pedestrian) is an overtly leftist one.

Its melodies are a little bit early aughts emo as played by the pranksters in PC Music—a few of my friends have pointed out that such a description basically just sounds like recent Fall Out Boy material but I tend to view it more charitably.

One of the consequences of what might be charitably described as laissez-faire federal leadership is that local governments are making up their own rules as they go along, resulting in what is in effect a national laboratory of randomized experiments in how to contain Covid-19.

And, more recently, after its stentorian "Against Trump" issue before the 2016 primaries, the magazine adopted what can most charitably be called an agnostic stance before the once-despicable specter of Trumpism ascendant, taking care to balance critiques of Trump with broadsides aimed at his critics.

But hold the champagne, or the German "Sekt," because Germans have always steadfastly refused to change their export-driven growth model — less charitably defined as a "beggar-thy-neighbor" policy that should have no quarters in a grand project of the European economic and political union.

One could charitably describe it as a disagreement over whether you should characterize the "cause" of an important event in terms of the deepest or most superficial causal elements — in which case, I would recommend Laurie Paul's Causation: A User's Guide as essential reading on the metaphysics of causation.

Until then, it's a matter of what society values the most: an alternative currency that may give people freedom from big banks — or less charitably, wild profits on currency speculation — or the kind of livable world that can give rise to such a crazy idea in the first place.

After it became clear that repeal and delay, what could charitably be called Plan C in the GOP's tortured attempts to dismantle Obamacare, was dead, there were signs that the White House and congressional Republicans were ready to move on to greener pastures like infrastructure and tax reform.

Indeed, our expectations of interactions with any of the current gen crop of 'smart assistants' — at least as a general rule — are set so charitably low that any kind of basic utility, telling us the weather when asked, playing a song we want to hear, is considered a success.

As reports of Qatar's nefarious behavior continue to transpire under the penetrating glare of public and media scrutiny, influential shareholders and the investing public are unlikely to look charitably upon any company whose desire for ties with Qatar will inexorably finance that government's policies of sponsoring and incubating terrorism.

The rocket belongs to a company known as the Life Foundation, run by an Elon Musk-type CEO named Carleton Drake (Riz Ahmed)who, despite his reputation as a charitably-minded world-savior, is actually up to no good, and will stop at nothing to achieve his somewhat murky end goals.

Good-hearted people who once considered Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi a hero for resistance to the nation's military government that earned her a Nobel Peace Prize, charitably interpret her failure to denounce genocide as a necessary accommodation to generals who still retain absolute control over security and the civil service.

This could be charitably called a poor time for a sensitive Russian government facility to experience an explosion, as a mysterious blast officials in the country first described as an accident during a Ministry of Defense test of a rocket liquid propulsion system killed at least five people in August.

Even if Congress can charitably be described as a complete disaster, Cory Doctorow, special consultant at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a longtime opponent of Digital Rights Management (DRM), noted that giving consumers the permanent ability to legally unlock their cellphones could be the rare piece of legislation that appeals to both parties.

Here's what is so deeply disturbing about the Trump campaign: Not only has Trump retweeted some of the white nationalist alt-right accounts, which is bad enough, but maybe charitably you could say, well, what does he know, he doesn't know who these people are, he just found a funny name and tweeted it.

The organization came under a lot of scrutiny after the Washington Post's David Fahrenthold published an extensive report finding the organization did not have the proper certification to fundraise money in New York, and rarely operated charitably — using $285,000 from his charity to settle legal disputes and to buy multiple portraits of Trump himself.

In February of 2017, just a few weeks into President Donald Trump's reign, GOP legislators employed powers granted to them under the 1996 Congressional Review Act (CRA)—a legislative tactic described, charitably, as "rarely used"—to repeal a number of rules and regulations established by federal agencies, with a laser focus on those enacted by the previous administration.

After all, unlike the WWE 22K games that are trotted out every year, No Mercy doesn't have any of the trappings of modern, AAA games: there's no online multiplayer, the graphics can be charitably described as a blurry mess, and there are no commercials starring Arnold Schwarzenegger to promote its existence to the millions of fans who watch Monday Night Raw.

Spicer can charitably be accused of having enough shame not to poison the idealism of college students, or of having a rapid change of heart, because his first official comments as President Donald Trump's spokesman were in that second category: ludicrously false, ministry-of-propaganda style lies meant to discredit the national media, and convince Trump's supporters that he's more popular than he really is.

Loathe as I am to give any attention to a transparent attempt to bait the press into writing about heinous shit, well, Tyga emerged yesterday with an album cover that could most charitably be called "confrontational," but might better be described as "disrespectful to the Japanese flag," and "straight-up furry porn," as some astute commentators have noted in the hours since its release.

The full pardons of Conrad Black, a wealthy friend of Mr. Trump's who has written charitably about him, and Patrick Nolan, a former Republican Assembly leader from California who has criticized aspects of the Russia investigation, are the latest examples in what seems to be a new trend in presidential clemency: mercy for lawbreakers in the mold of disgraced politicians, media personalities and political allies who have flattered, defended or curried favor with the president.

"I will go to my grave not understanding how some of my colleagues could simply turn the other way and overlook the president's behavior and his misdeeds, who would overlook his unrelenting attack, frankly, on the free press, overlook his kind of vicious character assassinations, sometimes gratuitously, as in the instance of [former U.S.] Ambassador [to Ukraine Marie] Yovanovitch, and just, frankly, ignore the fact that he has such, to put it charitably, a very distant relationship with the truth," Heck added.

Thus far in office, Mr. Trump has acted against the national interest by maintaining his financial interests in his company and using the presidential podium to promote it; obstructed legitimate investigations into his conduct by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, and Congress; attacked the free press; given encouragement to white nationalists; established a de facto religious test for immigrants; undermined foreign alliances and emboldened American rivals; demanded personal loyalty from subordinates sworn to do their duty to the Constitution; and sent his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, around the world to conduct what could most charitably be described as shadow foreign policy with Mr. Trump's personal benefit as its lodestar.
