But Trump only speaks in vague platitudes, and Republicans are desperate for leadership.

If he can go two hours without being blatantly racist, the media falls all over itself. It was like that during the election.

Oh shit

I missed tonight's episode; some jackass was rambling on about immigrants.

What, no Chicago Doctor show? Way to half-ass it, NBC.

On one hand, Ryan is totally spineless. On the other hand, Trump is a black hole of leadership abilities. I'm sure they'll trip over their feet somehow, with neither being able to actually accomplish anything.

Trump commented on the Academy Awards in an interview with Brietbart, which is a lateral move from the Twitter freakout we all expected. He accused "them" of playing the race card, in reference to what, I don't know.

Jesus Christ, I'd never even heard of steak with ketchup before, the fuck is wrong with his tongue.

I have a lot of questions about "We Bought a Zoo." I mean, how? Why?

Eh, you're on stage, and not expecting "open envelope and read movie title" to be difficult—I can see why he would want to just move things along instead of stopping the show.

That's true. There's a special venom to their criticism of Hollywood, that seems to be a holdover from the Culture Wars, that is really out of place now that they've fallen in line behind the host of "Celebrity Apprentice."

As conservatives began railing against "liberal Hollywood elites" giving political speeches at the Oscars, I realized I don't know what it is they're really angry about. I mean, they elected a game show host President (and try to hide behind 'he's a businessman' as if that, not the game show, is why anybody have a…

Right? And it's not like the awards are that long—4 hours at the longest, maybe 1 hour on the red carpet; just eat lunch in the limo on the way over.

The Moonlight crew should've smashed the La La Land people over the head with folding chairs while Kimmel tried in vain to alert the ref.

Frame by frame analysis reveals that Beatty was handed the wrong card.

Best twist ending in award show history.

The President of the United States tweeted an order to find the leaks in the FBI. The tweet isn't addressed to the FBI, or anyone in particular, so I guess all US citizens are supposed to be hunting intelligence leaks now.

A few details of Trump's budget plan are being reported; apparently, he plans to slash State Department spending while increasing Defense Department spending, which even some Defense Department folks think is a bad idea.
