I know a writer for “Throwing Shade” and, for what its worth, we actually frequently discuss this very column. You may have more influence over its content than you realize...

Yeah seriously fuck Villaraigosa—LA flavored Cuomo squish.

I feel like CNN will be more like a battered partner: “oh god, maybe we deserve this. We should probably try harder to be MORE FAIR next time, that’ll make him love us...” See also: Negging.

No I mean I understand your frustration and I think there’s a lot of truth in what you’re saying just not to the degree you’re alleging. Like Fox news is not more prominent or powerful now than it was in 2012... The problem is definitely widespread but not insurmountable. Not to be too panglossian but look at all the…

Maybe but it would be so satisfying. Like honestly if anyone did it to her face on television it would be cathartic

Yeah she’s also a christian fundamentalist which I find ironic since she’s the literal personification of Matthew 16:26.

This is true for an embarrassingly large segment of the country but not the whole country or even most of it. There are really probably five categories of voters, and you are describing two of them but not the majority of them. Trump had a floor of roughly 40% who are definitely in the camp you are describing. But he…

Seriously. I would pay good money to go on one of these shows and call her a liar to her face. It’s so galling how she can blatantly lie about irrefutable facts and “reporters” just solemnly nod as if there were some real Rashomon mystery

Well I am going to be charitable and say that their sin might not be malice but ignorance. Low information voters are SHOCKINGLY low information. There’s been (credible but not conclusive) evidence that Hillary’s “bad final cycle” (See e.g.: Comey letter) is what did her in. Imagine if the last few days of the cycle…

Fuckin preach, “they go low, we go high” is all fine and well, until they steal the Supreme Court out from under us

I don’t know, I sometimes feel like he’s holding his head high on the way to the guillotine. Sometimes you need to get angry to get things done.

I think it’s how you spin it. “Trump is being blackmailed by Russia” seems more effect, “Trump is an even BIGGER pervert” arguably less so...

His base, yes, not the swing voters who broke overwhelmingly for him in the last days of the campaign. I saw a breakdown that he won then 2:1; if he’d only won them 55:45, Hillary would be President. Had she won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan she’d have won. Across those three states she lost by about 80,000…

God you just know the Republicans would have leaked. Once against Democrats are too nice and get fucked. I’m getting even more nervous for the democrats post Harry Reid

As I read this comment an 80stastic banger that has never existed miraculously materialized in my head...at which point I read your Loggins note and wondered if you were controlling my mind

Wait I don’t understand this sentiment. One political party does something craven so you lose faith in the entire Democratic process? You realize that is part of right-wing political strategy; depress voters, lower turnout, allow a small political minority to run the country. Check out the book “It’s Even Worse Than…

Hey sorry for the delay. Ariana is actually super silly and Tom is pretty quiet but they sort of whisper to each other and giggle a lot (as a whisperer myself, I find this particularly endearing). The last time I saw them was at this super gay party called Halloweenie that was at the California Science Center. They…

Yeah I am around them socially fairly frequently and they are totally pleasant and seem happy together

Wait can you post the a link to the Phantom truck one? I can’t find it...

This is an amazing way to explain it. Can I save this to use for later (on facebook and in real life)?
