Tom has shown himself to be a pretty good operator who doesn’t strive any higher - I’m not sure Matsson could find a better leader for the firm.

I actually thought this was the perfect ending. Shiv once again being the dumbest character imaginable - had no concept that she was being manipulated, had no concept of negotiating, you know, a CEO contract and feeling just as entitled as Ken for the top spot despite being by far the least qualified. I found Shiv and…

I love how Trump is so good at this stuff that even the writers of Jezebel, noted Trump haters, push his stuff as like there’s no way we could tear into the Conservatives like he can.

This is a great point - I never realized how Roman never has had any friends on the show. Tom had the fly guys, Kendall had people - there were people at his birthday party, Shiv had Nate and Co. and hell Connor at least has Willow and the weird Pierce guy. Roman had Tabitha and Gerri and the guy from RoyCo management…

GoJo is completing the deal and then it’s the Menken choice for CEO. The kids end up completely fucked, most likely after the will is read, where we finally see the rise of Greg to his natural position as a true #2 doing Matsson’s bidding

So queer people can’t be emotionally abusive? I actually liked a queer emotionally abusive individual because it made them a person versus an archetype. It normalizes the lifestyle which makes being queer normal - as it should be. 

- Keely asking Mae if her name is short for anything and her replying “Maybe” and Keely calling her Maybe was hilarious

In Canada, the Liberals, has lost the “popular vote” for the last 3 elections yet their leader, Trudeau, is Prime Minister. There’s no law in Canada like other parliamentary systems where you can’t form a minority government. Every system is created for reasons and the Electoral College was done so states would sign…

Man this case makes no sense at all.

You’re right! I had the issue of dissecting what you first wrote in print of “he ran companies into the ground” with the second statement of “he made a lot of promises on targets they haven’t delivered on” while trying to square that with the reality of exceeding every financial metric that’s ever existed within their…

I mean it was definitely violent and an embarrassing. Everyone involved should be tried and sent to jail. I just think it’s a hyperbolic to imply the action could overthrow the government - it implies that all you need to do to overthrow the government is capture the flag. 

As for my homeland (Canada), our Prime Minister has been involved in four major bribery scandals for millions of dollars resulting in billions of dollars of government contracts (SNC Lavlin, WE Charities, luxury vacations from the Aga Khan and other friends, donations to his families charity, and cash for access).…

Let’s back up a bit here with the hyperbole “violently overthrow the government” is a pretty ridiculous statement... they definitely violently entered a government building but “overthrow the government” is a statement in absurdity unless you believe that if you sit at Pelosi’s desk you all of a sudden control the US…

Tesla is worth 10x Ford. SpaceX lowered the cost of space travel by 10x with reusable boosters. Paypal, at the time, was one of the largest acquisitions ever. His personal stakes in those companies has made him the richest man in the world - if this is what failure looks like, sign me the fuck up.

Not sure how current you are on the news but France is going into month two of massive country wide protests and Canada last year had to invoke our version of martial law to clear out convoy protesters. All of those countries have about 1/10th as many people as America - not to dive too deep into politics but it’s…

I didn’t intend to the read to be about “getting into bed with business” but more of a “We already think we got this in the bag, why would we do anything else” which seemed to parallel the Hillary 2016 campaign/Gore 2000 campaigns (Gore 2000 and Romney 2012 also had Fox News with earlish calls and the famous Karl Rove…

I always find this take interesting as it implies there’s some vastly superior government system. Most Parliamentary systems lead to leaders or winning parties who get the minority of the votes (Germany, Canada, France) while the pure 51% votes lead to large scale corruption as there’s no counter balance (Russia,…

I read Jiminez’s dismissal of Kendall to being equivalent to Hillary not thinking she needed to goto Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania in 2020.

This episode did a pretty good job of explaining why Dems lose elections with the best policies - they’re so high on their own supply they won’t even consider making a deal. Like what loyalty does Jiminez have to GoJo. Why not just agree to tank the deal if ATN keeps coverage somewhat fair and then dangle that carrot…

There was an ep in season 1 where they tried to establish her as not attractive but it’s Christina Ricci who is arguably a top 10 most attractive individual of all time.
