It may not apply here, but he also uses a sort of “fill in the blank” pattern. If you already like him, you fill in the blanks (places with no or little information) with what you understand to be true. So, ‘those people’ become whoever you dislike most: Immigrants, people on welfare, POC, gays, youths, intellectuals,…

The deranged partner of one of my childhood friends once looked me directly in the eye, scowled, and firmly announced “I don’t read,” in a tone that would have been appropriate if she was saying “I don’t kill and eat people” or “I don’t force my kids to eat meth.”

Trump has repeatedly said that Canada has a trade surplus with the US. This is not true, there is a surplus in goods but when services are factored in there is a deficit. So, he tried telling this to Trudeau, and was corrected. Who knows what the actual conversation was, Trumps certainly not going to paint a picture…

He needs to be careful, you never know which Republican family values man might try to take him up on that.

“while we can’t put a number on how many targets avoided arrest” ...

No, you can’t put a number on that kind of theoretical shit, Tommy boy— but you did anyway! You & Beauregard managed to make propaganda out of it... numbers you pulled directly out of your puckery red assholes. And the guy you ordered to lie about the number, and ordered to deflect questions about it, called you on…

Despite this, the prospect of a Democrat winning in such a deep-red district was framed as a national bellwether ahead of the November midterms.

Shake those honorless bastards down for all they’re worth. The only way to make their dishonesty change is to hit their pocketbook, since we all know the industry is run on profit, Fox even more than most.

While they’re at it, how about adding some terrorism charges.

I’m sorry, Sports Illustrated, which generally has zero hockey content in it’s now bi-weekly magazine covered the NCAA pre-Frozen Four hockey finals?

Hur both sides dur.

Nothing kills a good Netflix binge-watching session like a really long show intro

He can start with the large pharmaceutical companies who continue to push pain killers that are killing citizens instead of pain. They are also some of the largest contributors to keeping cannabis, a harmless product that could potentially help millions, off the ballot.

I thought the same thing after watching that behind-the-scenes special on Netflix, but apparently that was misleading. Have you read the Indiewire interview with Sadie Sink? I’ll quote the relevant passage:
