I want to respond, but I got lost half way through your first sentence trying to figure out who the hell you're even referencing.

I have an aunt that's a born again Christian, in the variety that has dreams in which she believes God is speaking directly to her. She's in love with Trump. But to be fair, I quite honestly think she might be losing her mind. I'm not mocking her or Trump fans, I really worry for her mental health.

So…Trump did provide a plan to the client? Because we'd be the client, and he hasn't said shit to us yet. Other than he'd deregulate business, and businesses wouldn't be allowed to leave their communities in this golden era of deregulation.

The standard conservative response is "I don't like him but he's better than Clinton." It's not a ringing endorsement, but they've accepted him.

If his business was competing for a contract they absolutely would have had to provide details on their plan for improving the client. This is standard during an RFP process. Good businessmen don't just hand over money to another company if there has been no vetting of their proposal.

May I see him?

I had finally just forgotten how much I loved Reaper, then the AV Club has to come and reopen that wound.

Mine does not work on a phone or any browser that isn't Firefox.

Once you realize Steve is just Jean Ralphio from Parks and Rec as a teenager, he becomes much more lovable.

Holding public figures accountable for their words is absolutely journalism. An editorial would promote a specific policy with evidence. Using recordings to show someone completely contradicting themselves should be a part of your fact finding mission.

Hence the "supposed to be." But no one else was willing to put the work and research in, so it falls to the comedians.

No doubt. But there is a sizable enough population that is being served Oliver on Sunday's, Bee on Monday's, and not much else after.

That term just really bothers me in contexts like this. It has an unspoken "but both sides do it!" false equivalency ring to it. But Hannity going off the rails about Obama using the wrong type of mustard isn't the same thing as Stewart/Colbert laying into the right's hypocrisy by simply playing their actual words

I think it is also a calculated move precisely to increase ratings. Colbert isn't competing with the demo that just wants their late night host to dance with Justin Timberlake, so why not lean into the demo that is starving for the Stewart/Colbert power hour to return.

I'm sure he would have been thrilled to deliver the same sermon at the RNC convention. For some reason they wouldn't let him.

It's the entire GOP mission statement in a tidy two words. Convince the poorest Americans it's their duty to support the richest. Because, god, or freedom, or, I don't know..Mexicans? Either way, just give us your money you lazy poors.

Using fact based evidence to call out the hypocrisy of a major political party and their most prominent figure heads is not preaching to a choir, it's what journalism is supposed to be.

But…why? If you think the government is doing this, spending the time and money they could be using to hook up with high end escorts, to do something so nefarious, they must have a reason. Just to fuck with people? There needs to be a logical end game for them, which is the problem with most conspiracy theories. They

I am not a South Park fan, but I did see the episode where it turned out both sides were just as wrong. What a clever twist!

There's only one oompa-loompa and you know it.
