So don’t lie, which I understand, but don’t also tell the truth. I have to disagree with you. I think the US is due to have, and deserves some ugly, harsh, inconvenient truths to be exposed. Going back to pre-Trump “normal” shouldn’t be the goal. If we’re going to move past where we are, then that should start with

The media are not our allies.

I’m surprised that Gayle used that phrasing, because Pelosi’s use of the word “henchmen” is in no way as egregious as the bullshit that’s been coming out of the White House re: voter fraud, refusing to accept election results, stacking the Supreme Court, etc.  It’s a completely lopsided comparison.

When the official republican party platform is basically “TRUMP 2020!!! MAGA!!11!!” I think calling them trump’s henchmen is completely fair. They’ve admitted in writing that they don’t stand for anything else.

Egregious? Hell, if anything, Nancy was being POLITE. The Republicans behave more like a crime syndicate, gang, or a cult....

Jason Bateman: “I won!”

As per Daniel Radcliffe statements’,

I didn’t read the books or see the movies when they originally came out. I started reading the books a couple years back with my oldest son and understood why there was so much hype. Sure, I’m late to the game. And, yes, you are an asshole.

Or, hear me out, it’s okay to like things that influenced you as a kid and it’s okay to be bummed out when the author is revealed to be a bigot.

As a former theatre school nerd, my heart breaks for them. The business is hard enough as it is but to graduate from a Musical Theatre program when there is no theatre at all, no Broadway, no touring, no cruise ships. Barely even waitering jobs. Brutal.

“Atlas Shrugged” is the only book I have ever straight-up thrown in the garbage. 

Protip: doing racist shit makes you a racist EVEN IF IT’S AS A SPORTS FAN. Jesus, why can’t you just eat some chicken wings and say go team like a nice white person?

As someone whose ancestors are actually from this continent I say if they don’t like it they can go back where they came from.

It sounds somewhat worse than the giant companies I’ve worked for. Staffers weren’t getting any PTO? Or time off to go to the friggin’ doctor?

And let’s not even get started on the absurdly high percentage of people who wouldn’t take a COVID-19 vaccine if offered.

I’ve been going to the movies since the age of six and the theatrical experience has been one of the most basic, joyful things in my life. I had the great fortune of going to college during the height of the film guild era and, for years, went to the movies two to three, sometimes four, nights a week. I love the

hmmm...I thought it was the racism sowing government that divided people.

Hmm, guess I was wrong.

And as a fellow black person, it isn’t wise to use your blackness to justify bullshit. Kinda makes you seem shittier.  

Yet, you’re here to prove I am right.

Thanks.
