Strangely, I believe the drinking thing. For one, I think it started as a way to appeal to his dad/ get the upper-hand on his brother (who was relegated to working maintenance on one of Fred’s properties because his alcoholism ruined his piloting/business careers).

Our ramparts remained un-rammed! thank u mr. prez!

Hillary was being generous. He obviously adores (dot dot dot) Ivanka and values Melania like a commodity. He is completely ambivalent about his sons and probably has no idea what his grandkids’ names are. “He likes his family” = “He’s glad someone is around to keep slapping gold ‘TRUMP’s on ugly buildings.”

To expand on it, he doesn’t drink (/is not an alcoholic*) because IIRC he “learned” from his brother’s own addiction. With any other decent human being I’d say that embracing sobriety as a result of seeing addiction firsthand is a good/noble thing.

I think Christmas bonuses are an invention of Hollywood as a plot device for Christmas movies. Like you, all the bonuses I know of are awarded in the first quarter of the next calendar year.

a) he is not good at cruel nicknames. As a comedian and roaster he’s fairly uninspired.

Basic outline:

This was my first thought reading that quote. And Trump would have no problem advertising the fact that he hates giving away money.

Same, but that’s just the cost to the District. I’m assuming DoD and/or DHS picked up some of it (weren’t some of those tanks new?).

Kind of unrelated but the idea of any child being on the phone with either of those two on Christmas is enough to confirm that I’m right not to have kids in this country before 2024.

Thank you for pointing out how antiquated and pejorative it is to call a conflict between two female Congresswomen a “cat fight.” This is what bothers me most of all!

You’re right, but the way I see it is that the show has demonstrated that it can tell stories outside of June. It’s taken the artistic license to tell the story outside its source material and has delivered story lines that are totally NOT about June (see Serena’s flashback episode, Emily’s time in the Colonies,…

I want to see what’s going on in Chicago. How does Gillead’s army handle the resistant Americans? How are the Americans organizing? What’s Nick like as a commander?

One nitpick to your point is that OITNB kept Piper around way too long (I’m sure this season, now that she’s out of prison, we’re still gunna have to suffer through acts of her writing a memoir or whining about Alex), but yes, I agree with your reference. There are a million ways to examine a unique universe (prison,…

This is exactly how I feel about this show at this point and the idea of keeping up with this ruthless, exhausting oppression opera for EIGHT SEASONS is so unappealing.

The “stable” part is what really kills me. Trump knows he has dementia and is slowly turning into a doddering fool.

This is a question I consistently ask myself. I have a hard time believing there are enough people out there who manually troll Twitter and blogs this consistently. They have to have created an algorithm by now.

For his part, Trump has bragged that his degree from the school is “like super genius staff” and that it’s “the hardest school to get in.”

Ugh, my ex used to do this all the time but I had no right to complain because I do the same thing with my makeup residue (even though makeup residue takes a lot longer to accumulate).

True, but since this is an insulated TV show I can see their issues crossing over a lot. Particularly since Madeline is a nosy asshole who thinks everything that happens in Monterey is her own crusade. I can also see some sort of discord blooming between Celeste and Madeline as we get closer to a trial, and I have a…
