You know what was the next major war after Mexican-American War?

I feel like the funniest thing about Neil Gorsuch is that any other time he would be a shoo in for the supreme court. However considering how much of a shitshow Republicans made last year over Merrick Garland, the Dems are gonna fight tooth and nail to obstruct him the very same way Garland was.

I think we all have to admit that as a campaign slogan it is kinda genius. Like Don Draper has once famously said "Nostalgia, it's delicate yet potent".When this slogan is heard by someone who is suffering from any sort of problem economically it allows him or her to project it to the periods where their financial…

Make America Great Again
I have been thinking a lot about this campaign slogan and how well it was used by both Trump and Reagan, our two showbiz Republican Presidents. When Reagan said Make America Great Again, he referred to the peaceful times of Eisenhower's 50s (never mind the racism and the sexism). When Trump…

My Holy Trinity would be The Americans, Fargo and The Leftovers with Better Call Saul as the spoiler.
The fact that they are all returning at the same time makes me very very excited.

So let's see
We will have The Americans, Fargo, The Leftovers and Better Call Saul in April and Twin Peaks in May? Basically all of the greatest dramas of this era and the return of a classic show?
Holy fucking shit this is like the peak TV month of peak TV.

CHAIIIN KEEP US TOGETHER.

Aah I am looking forward to The Americans for stress relief.
When America had a B-list actor as a president who hated Russia and recklessly tried to start a war with it instead of a D-list reality TV host who is Russia's puppet.

Better Call Saul?

the third seals it

"Jefferson Beauregard Secessions" seems like the name of a guy who spends his free time re-enacting Civil War battles.
And not as a Union soldier.

Considering that Reagan was probably suffering from Alzheimer at that point and Dubya at the end looked like he wanted to go back to his beloved Texas as soon as possible I wouldn't be surprised.

Fucking Roosevelt

I kinda got emotional when he thanked Uncle Joe.
But the gut punch of "Yes we can. Yes we did" at the end of his farewell address was hard.
Especially when you realize how divided America is right now and who's coming to replace Obama.

Why didn't they put Lloyd Bentsen on the top of the ticket ?
Based on his performance in the VP debate he could have easily won the election.

Who was the last president elected who was not charismatic(at least to his supporters) or at least someone whom voters did not choose on the basis of "would I like to get a beer with him?"
H.W Bush? Carter?
The rise of television allowed less inexperienced but more charismatic people like JFK and Reagan to become…

I never really thought that we would have an election as crazy as Bush-Gore in my lifetime. Yet here we are.

America is funny in that way that even if something is working for them they would still be like "hmm maybe I should vote for the other party. Whats the worst that can happen?"
It's why even though Clinton was an extremely popular president instead of electing the guy who would have been his de facto third term they…

Lena Dunham but no Carrie Fisher?

2017 claims it's first victim.
