Anna Paquin IS a great actress, but she was awful in The Affair, and I can’t tell whether that was her fault or if the show itself (writing, directing, etc) was to blame. Whoever decided Joanie needed to be 100% darkness—bitter and nasty all of the time, rude and snapping to everyone she encounters—made a misfire. The…

However, Europe, unlike the United States, is doing just fine thanks to its proactive efforts to thwart climate change, while Great Britain has devolved into a Mad Max hellscape post-Brexit.

After years of hate-watching this show, I was embarrassed to tear up during the flash mob wedding scene (ok my Dad was a big part of my wedding two years ago and he died this year - the show was pushing some buttons). I actually really enjoyed this season because I tend to like this show’s women (Prof. SexFrench…

I was admittedly dubious about their inevitable reconciliation, but the Affair finale sold me

Wow. Sarah Treem stuck the hell out of that landing. I’ve joked in the past when people have asked for TV recommendations and Six Feet Under comes up that it’s essentially 63 sometimes very messy hours of setup to get you to 7 minutes of payoff where you’d likely be bawling their eyes out. This was kind of like that…

This show, man. It’s been one of the weirdest rides. I feel like I want to watch it all again, and at the same time never see another moment of it for the rest of my life. It’ll definitely be on my mind for a while.

Some stuff in this story did NOT sort out at the end.

When you shoot your gun, do you miss as badly as you are missing the point right now?

It’s not like this is the first time American Assholes overplayed their hand...

His own words confirm this:

This is the same calculated risk he keeps taking. If he is open in the public about it, he normalizes it for his base. And impeachment becomes less ‘right and wrong’ and more political.

Can we officially put to rest the notion held by some that this is all some nefarious masterwork and accept that he’s just a narcissistic old fool that does whatever the fuck he feels like, even if it’s in his own best interest not to?

For the record, Trump did not demand a moat with alligators.

I’ve been thinking I was just in a coma and none of this is real. But now, you have alerted me to the fact that I am, in fact, dead. So... thanks, I guess? It’s like the series finale of “Lost” but worse.

Agreed on all points. I’d like to add one minor thing, though. Trump further encapsulates the Boomer id, in that he doesn’t understand the role he’s played in his failures. He rails against banking and lending systems, as if they’re the reason he can’t run a successful business. He’s perfect, and his businesses are…

Yes, boiled all the way down, Trump is the id of the America that is not only tired of being dragged into the 21st century but wants to told the 21st century is actually an Illuminati plot.

I find myself thinking that President Trump is not merely one of the worst people his generation produced, but the embodiment of the collective id of that generation. Thin-skinned, venal, looking for someone else to blame and so very, very scared of changes.

Think about this:
