Manchurian Candidate? Nice.

Guess what? You have no idea why she is the weight she is at. You don’t have access to her medical files. You don’t know if she’s taking an anti-depressant that makes it difficult to lose weight, or has some kind of metabolic disorder. You don’t know what her blood pressure is, or her cholesterol levels, or anything.…

My read of the whole thing is that theater people get raunchy backstage. Normally everyone is in on it, and it’s not a problem. (And I would additionally posit that, with his SNL background, Franken was likely used to a very high level of permissible raunchiness.) But Franken pushed something with someone who was not…

Not to mention how handsy Biden himself can be...

Same for the NRA...

Maybe Matt Lauer likes the culturally sanctioned opportunity to dress like a woman without his sexuality or gender identity being questioned? Pretty sure I know at least one, likely multiple guys who love dressing in drag on Halloween for just this reason...

Even a narcissist has to see there’s no positive to arguing with a war widow.

It’s like he’s been gradually doused with gasoline over the last decade or so, and now he’s setting up a kiosk hawking flint and steel.

I remember liking Xander — not sure how I’d feel about him now, as I also vaguely remember a lot of what you mention here. If I rewatched I may find I still like him as a character for how he plays off the other characters, even if the character is a sleazeball underneath it all. But I KNOW seeing him with all that…

What does one do with an object like this? I mean, even if you’re super rich, you can’t really ever use it as a purse. It just sits in its box to be shown to your super rich friends, right?

A Malignant Narcissist is an implicit threat to everyone in their personal orbit. Especially if they have any power or funds. For instance, I don’t dare piss of my Malignant Narcissist mother-in-law because I know she’ll take it out on my disabled sister-in-law who still relies on her for help.

And Trump does have a…

Yup.

That’s not going to happen. Ivanka’s the Golden Child of a Malignant Narcissist. She has been groomed her whole life to not turn against Daddy no matter what.

Considering all the reports last week about 45's “dark moods” and “unraveling”, my money is on him being fucking miserable. Narcissists hate to work, and even half-assing it as hard as he is has got to be ravaging him. Especially when the “fake news” won’t cut him a break.

I would have spent all night November 8th in a near panic, but then I drank a bunch of whiskey. It has actually been less bad than I feared, but that’s largely because I expected more of the GOP controlled congress than complete ineptitude. Oh, and I live where there are no hurricanes or fires yet or neo-Nazi marches…

Maybe we should simplify, and make all five of those major territories into states? But...nah, that’s crazy talk. Those islands are all full of brown people! <I’m sorry, I’m cringing writing my own joke here...>

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ANYWAY. Mine are all mostly doing the right thing now, I can only call and encourage them to keep doing the right thing. But you have a chance to change the mind of yours, however slim that chance may be. Tell the person who picks up the phone how much this screws you, in as much detail as…

A writer writing fanfics of their own work is so unbelievably pathetic...

I’d say the decision to watch or not depends on how much of a film buff you are. Film buff? See it. Not? Maybe wait until it pops up on Netflix.
