Fuck it. I’m moving to Ireland.

“I will never understand what is fierce, funny or feminist in creating a show that basically says the original actresses are too old to do a job they did 12 years ago.”

Holly Marie Combs just sounds bitter every time she brings up the show and honestly it’s tarnishing the original show for me. Let these girls live, they’re repping for young WOC. Charmed was great and it’s exciting it’s being rebooted for a new generation.

Oh for the love of god.

It’s weird, but this is a perennial issue with reboots. Fans of the original (and I guess actors in the original) always view the reboot as some kind of replacement (or even a desecration) of the original. This is true even if the original is still around and even if the original cast doesn’t have any interest in…

Meh... I’m looking forward to this? I never watched the original (BtVS forever!) and I enjoy women-centric entertainment by preference. If it is mostly non-problematic and fun I’ll be happy. Tho there is never that expectation.

Very early in his campaign, she was on one of the Sunday morning shows (I believe Stephanopoulos) and Keith Ellison said words to the effect of “Trump needs to be taken seriously.” She laughed in his face on national TV.

... which POTUS 44 and HRC and their surrogates were saying as early as 2015. This is nobody’s secret.

Somehow, I don’t find it any less damaging that Haberman can’t label him a liar because he is untethered to reality. Whatever you call it, Trump is unfit for office because his delusions are no match for reality.

The thing is, he didn’t fail at his businesses. He succeeded in doing what he wanted. There are some really great articles about how much money he made from his bankruptcies and whatnot. He’s a psychopath and not nearly as rich as he would have ya believe but he definitely made lots of money.

Being a rich white guy is amazing. My next life I’m definitely trying it out.

Baha! But Cusack zinged her right back:

Her coy Smug “you peasants who don’t get to hang out with POTUS just don’t understand” tweet to John Cusack is particularly gross.

Call him a damn liar.

The reason people are going hard at Maggie is because she is a pretty near constant enabler of Trump’s behavior (and the destruction of this country’s soul). She tows the line, as does the NYT, in order to ensure Trump remains president and NYT readership stays up. I do get the distinction between lies and falsehoods,…

I’d really like to know how an idiot who failed at running every business he ever had gets this much leniency in life. How did he get immunity from things that anyone else would be punished for?

Also intent doesn’t matter, impact does. Everybody, especially the President, needs to strive for truth because lies are destructive.

This is what I can’t stand about the way Haberman has been trying to parse this distinction. It’s meaningless because she’s ignoring important context. It’s not actually the case that he thinks whatever he says is real. It’s that he is completely indifferent to, and uncurious about, whether what he says is real. But…

Why not cover all bases and just say he’s full of shit?
