Actually ... yeah, you’re right. Why are they even trying to maintain a faint veneer of objectivity? The MAGAs aren’t going to figure out they’re being lied to.

Planning might be too strong a word, but I agree with Marceline that there’s a definite “punch/counterpunch” feel to it. I’ve said before that Trump doesn’t think, he reacts. I feel like his followers operate on the same model. When they get threatened, they attack. 

Math checks out.

It does seem weird. I know my local paper caters to old conservative white people, because those are the only ones still subscribing around these parts. But I assumed the NYT had a wider and more liberal subscriber base. 

You can chalk that up to the power of repetition combined with a nation full of amnesiacs idiots.

ALL APOLOGIZE!

Yeah. It’s entirely possible I’m overthinking it. 

Huh. I never, never, never in a million years would have thought that asset forfeiture laws could be misused and/or fraudulently applied. I mean, who could possibly have seen this coming?

The president does not lie, ever.

That’s what will truly become Trump’s legacy. He’s become this nearly archetypal image of a buffoon that may well persist long after his presidency is mercifully forgotten. Just like oversize shoes suggest clowns and orange jumpsuits suggest convicts, that ridiculous hair and tow-rope tie will symbolize incompetence…

Wait. Do I detect derision for the television show Preacher, starring the luminous Ruth Negga?

The resemblance is uncanny.

Came here for this. 

This is the correct take. If the wait is more than 20 minutes, I go eat somewhere else. My time is more valuable than a transitory culinary experience.

His last few acting roles were in the mid-60s.

That’s my question. “Uh, Splinter repeated statements filed in a public document ... let’s SUE!” Sure, Chinless, that’s a winner, right there.

To be fair, her statement is true for any of the “actors” noted in this thread so far.

Wonder where Trump drew his design inspiration from.

Guess Kellyanne never heard of Ronald Reagan, either. 

I’ve definitely seen the bad side of tenure, but yeah, Karpf’s “fuck right off” is a thing of beauty.
