I appreciate this context as I was also very confused by this sentence. It’s implying that the show was originally entitled “Stranger Things Have Happened” in an early draft; I think the odds of that are vanishingly low. Despite the existence of the phrase, I always thought the logic of the title was much more “it…

Oh, it is absolutely a bad look. I wouldn’t want to be in his position. Good lord, we’ll be hearing about it for decades.

But look at it in terms of sentencing and parole. You are sentenced for committing a crime. That sentence is determined by several things, including your conduct during the trial. If you are up for…

My other idea is The Social Ne2rk, because luckily “network” contains “two.”

I was thinking a good sequel title would be just Social Network.

That sounds impressive, but that’s only 25 elections. So it’s happened 20% of the time. The percentage goes up once you start factoring in that not all of those elections were against a sitting president. That drops it down to 15(I think?) and about a 1 in 3 shot. It’s such a limited sample that the advantage feels…

Can people not just say “oops I was drunk” instead of performatively committing to rehab?

One side’s narrative is what actually happened, and another side’s narrative is designed for a very specific purpose. Both sides are not the same.

He absolutely wouldn’t, and I simply don’t understand anyone who, with all the evidence we have, still fosters the delusional belief that there’s a shred of decency anywhere in his body.

It does not matter what “side” he was on.

He’s never, ever drawn a line anywhere else.  I don’t know why he would draw it there.

“Joe, God Rest his soul, was a bad man. I mean he didn’t deserve to get shot but, really, is it much of a loss? If it were me, I would had ducked. Ducking is good. But old Joe couldn’t duck and now he’s dead. A real shame.”

“But what I am saying is that, were the sitting president murdered, even Trump would probably hold off on such rhetoric.”

So I don’t know why we’re breaking our backs to be “the bigger person” here.

“It’s a very sad day, a very sad day, we had an assassination and it’s very sad. But you gotta think a little bit that he deserved it, right? A little bit you have to think that...but very sad, very sad.”

“but I’d think that even he recognizes that saying something like that publicly would be beyond the pale.”

To wit, he acted offended that he wasn’t invited to John McCain’s funeral and remarked, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral.”

It’s fucking insane!  Like in what world is anyone pretending that Dem rhetoric is what got us here?  He’s being called a threat to democracy because he has literally said that he wants to have absolute power. He literally wants to end democracy.  It’s not rhetoric to call a spade a spade.  

Myers has the best quote I’ve heard from anyone on the topic to date!

If shit could be less weird for, like, a day? That’d be fun.
