i agree, i was saying that of the potential candidates for president, nobody was worse than trump. i don't know much about steve bannon apart from his breitbart connection but kellyanne conway is one of the worst human beings alive today on planet earth.

snl is also guilty of "normalizing" the idea that pence is worse than trump. nobody is worse than trump. during the primaries i entertained the idea that cruz would be worse than trump. i can't believe i thought that.

like that congressman who suggested that if hillary clinton won the election it would be time to get his musket? what did he mean by that? or all that shit that people say about the tree of liberty needs the blood of patriots every now and then? there's a lot more nuance on the liberal side of things i think you'll…

i also think that your excellent work on that thread merits a mention of your other writing. however, there is a chance that you are too modest to do this on every other article here, so i will do it for you. check out the following link:

i agree with you 100%. i think this idea that pence would be worse than trump does far more to "normalize" trump than anything else. yes, pence is a horrible ignorant piece of shit who should have been accused of allowing an outbreak of hiv in his home state during the vp debate. he is an advocate of torture with his…

dude, i love your comments and can honestly say that this is the first one i've ever disagreed with. just to show my sincerity i will say that i think your criticism of the ghostbusters remake was excellent and important, and i am also sympathetic towards your ideas of a citizenship test in order to be allowed to…

til the next time, little keith

thanks for your reply, dellarigg. i love reading your comments here. perhaps one day we will meet at a martin amis book signing. you with money and me with the information. if ICP is looking for something in switzerland, reply to me on an old thread and i will do my best to help as much as i can.

you're welcome! it's not quite as cool as his review of "it takes a village" by hillary clinton in his "war against cliché" collection. but it must suffice.

enjoy! well, enjoy is not le juste mot.

the first novel i read by him was "the information" and i had the same feeling as you, something like "i can't believe a novel can even do this"! reading that was a mind blowing experience. paragraphs rhyming, i couldn't believe that a novel could even do things like that. when i finally read money (a novel that i…

the uk press opinion of him is something i will never understand. when i met him, i thanked him for his book night train which got me through a very difficult time and he signed it "from martin to stephen" and he was extremely pleasant, friendly and more than patient with the people who were there. but he seemed so…

i met him here in zurich and got my photo taken with him at the launch of the german translation of the zone of interest. i can't believe i have a photo of myself with my hero.

and a new novel too!

watch fire walk with me, then try the first season again, if this doesn't do anything for you then twin peaks will never click with you. and that's fine. i really like it, but i understand people who think it sucks.

have you seen fire walk with me? it was where i started with twin peaks and while i understand your criticism, perhaps changing the starting point might inspire you to give it another shot?

i disagree that that scene, starting in the bar with a lot of the main characters listening to the song, is the most frightening, but it is one of the most beautiful and wonderful ones. a scene you just have to watch again immediately after the episode ends.

henry kissinger is directly responsible for the coup in chile and was due in court on september 11 2001 (the original nine eleven was the death of salvador allende) to answer for his involvement in the murder of orlando atelier but this story was not reported because of something else that happened that day. he was…

a comedy show so beneath him that he appeared on it? and kissinger one of the best politicians of all time? a man responsible for such dictatorships as pinochet in chile? guilty of war crimes in vietnam as well as east timor? fuck off you willfully ignorant asshole. go play with the traffic.

i'm sure he's tweeting it about it right now
