This movie just doesn’t seem to sync with the normal Batman timeline. Joaquin Phoenix is in his 50s. And Thomas Wayne is still alive. Which, even if this was set right before his murder, would make Bruce Wayne just a kid when this movie takes place. Flash forward 20 years or so to when Bruce finally becomes…

Long read, and a few points maybe a bit oversimplified for arguments sake, but still an interesting thesis.

What could possibly be more destructive and dangerous than a mass of thunderstorms several hundred miles wide, generating 100 mph winds and dumping torrential amounts of rain?

She crushed him because she was the grown-up on stage and wasn’t certifiably insane. That’s a pretty low bar to clear.

Hey, if Joe Walsh and Bill Weld can peel off some of the “I’m just here for the tax cuts and not the racism” Republicans and make Trump more likely to lose (especially if one of them goes rogue and ends up running third party in the general election), I’m all for it. Hell, I might even throw a few bucks at their…

Seriously. All they had to do was A) not run a candidate with 25 years’ worth of baggage and negative publicity and B) articulate a platform with at least a little more substance than “Of course you’re going to vote for me. What’s your alternative, that guy?”

I was initially pretty hesitant about the idea of having to pay for another streaming service, but content like this might make it worthwhile. 

The only way this has any chance of being even remotely effective is if throws the 4th & 6th amendments in the shredder and goes full Minority Report.

If we’ve reached the point where relative competence is measured solely by not being responsible for any major scandals or catastrophes...then, sadly, you are correct.

The only way this has a snowball’s chance in hell of working out ok for Sony is if they base their next movies off a completely different Spider-Man series, like Spider-Man 2099 or Spider-Man Noir and hope that people eventually let go of the Tom Holland Spidey/MCU connections.

If nothing else, Marianne Williamson would turn the batshit crazy factor of that election up to 11.  It might not be productive or healthy, but it’d be surreal as hell.

Is it just me, or does Erick Erickson bear a striking resemblance to Eric Stonestreet (Tucker from Modern Family)?

I would have a hard time trusting Larry Kudlow to water my indoor plants and take care of my cat while I was on vacation. Stopping a recession is *way* above his pay grade.

That’s...awkward. I thought most of the world stopped with the whole “overtly colonial” thing after the end of WWII.

Most mentally ill people usually just hurt themselves, not others. Once in a while, one may strip down naked and attack passerby’s with an old toaster because the Devil told them to via their neighbor’s cat.

I mean, a brewing recession might lead a few milquetoast “I’m in it for the tax cuts, not the racism” types to sit out the election. But most Trumpsters have bought into the cause because of the racism and the batshit crazy, so he shouldn’t have too much trouble convincing them that the recession is due to brown people…

That’s borderline Prosperity Gospel, “You’re poor because you don’t love Jesus enough,” bullshit. 

Gee, the plausibility of the conspiracy theories wouldn’t have anything to do with the broad range of rich, powerful people who wanted Epstein dead before he could talk (including the guy ultimately in charge of the federal criminal justice system), would it?

So...stupid shit like this is the IRL equivalent of spammy random monster encounters when you’ve got like 25% of your hit points left and are completely out of mana?

How does someone on suicide watch hang himself in a jail cell? The guy should have been sitting around in a bare cell in a paper gown with people watching him.
