But where Ms. Madigan's Jesus-loving Halie in New York seemed confined by the hectoring contours of the role, her performance is now considerably more shaded; the actress calls to mind no less a pitiable figure than Eugene O'Neill's Mary Tyrone, as this delusional matriarch ascends the stairs of Derek McLane's home-turned-battleground of a set.
The Security Council resolution and Mr. Kerry's harsh and hectoring speech will confirm to Israelis — even those most supportive of a two-state solution — that the Jewish state is being held to a different standard, and that it is being dictated to without real reciprocal demands being made of Palestinians, even as they promote destructive international initiatives that circumvent direct negotiations.
Not moving next week essentially comes down to three factors, according to Fed watchers: The looming G-20 summit at which the U.S. and China, at least theoretically, could reach a trade agreement; a desire not to be seen as overly influenced by the financial markets and President Donald Trump's hectoring; and the desire to avoid making December's rate hike look like a policy mistake.
A longtime foil for Mr. Trump, Mr. Sanford, who served two separate stints in the House of Representatives in addition to serving as governor, was seen in some respects as the most viable of the trio, as the one who might have had the most success in getting under Mr. Trump's skin and hectoring him from the right on the issue of the federal debt.
Trump was terribly wrong in using hectoring and antagonistic language against European allies that no president in post-war American history has ever used, and he was disastrously wrong in refusing to restate America's commitment to defending Europe under Article 85033, which every American president, Democratic and Republican, has viewed as an article of faith and resolve to defend our European allies from foreign invasion and attacks.
Most, if not all, of the tracks were available on streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, but in making them totally free to listen to for anyone, it feels a little like Dischord was performing a public service — after two weeks of hectoring by presidential hopefuls, their peers, and their underlings, now's a perfect time to listen to the kind of angry, political punk that the label made its name putting out.
But there are three factors that could result in the U.S. central bank not moving on interest rates this time, according to Fed watchers: The looming G-20 summit at which the U.S. and China, at least theoretically, could reach a trade agreement; a desire not to be seen as overly influenced by the financial markets and U.S. President Donald Trump's hectoring; and the desire to avoid making December's rate hike look like a policy mistake.
However, the senior White House official pointed to Trump's relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping as a sign of how he might deal with Kim: Trump frequently talks about how close he is to Xi, but this has not stopped him from talking tough on trade with Xi. One former senior administration official who has watched Trump engage with world leaders said he has not had a consistent method in diplomatic dealings, describing him as "kind of all over the map" at times hectoring, at others friendly.
Unless you've been under a media blackout the past week and a half, you've likely caught wind of Dan Richards, The Progressive Liberal, a wrestling Hillary Clinton fan who delivers hectoring promos about how he's working the area's Appalachian Mountain Wrestling promotion in order to educate the local rubes on proper living, green jobs, and how to pronounce "Appalachia" (with the third "A" being long, according to him, which is clearly wrong and enrages both me and the fans packing the gyms the promotion works).
To acknowledge the realities of running as a woman — the double standards, the higher bars, the demands for likability and relatability in a nation that mostly only relates to and likes dudes; the need to be authoritative but not hectoring; to be smart but not a know-it-all; to be cool but not fake; to be warm but not a mommy; to be maternal but not too soft; to have the contours of your life, from your breasts to your skin-care routines to your maternity leaves, treated as foreign and weird and maybe counterfeit by a political media that's never had to take this stuff seriously before; to be honest but not actually tell the truth about any of this stuff because you'll sound like a whiner — is a trap.
