Delicious. I love that he threatened to quit if he couldn’t be the secret ruler of all things—that is how babies do, because they don’t have object permanence.

I side-eye anyone who gets married a third time. At “fifth time,” I have to assume brain damage. It’s like that saying about meeting assholes all day long, or that certain definition of insanity.

I think he’s a bad choice for this, but I don’t think he’ll have to reinvent himself to get cruel and grossly self important.

That’s the best part. “People have always told me I looked like a bush full of birds, but I didn’t listen.”

The credits better be rolling over a sky of recently-startled quail.

I do think I understand what you’re saying and how you heard it. But he framed it like boys shouldn’t ruin their lives, rather than boys shouldn’t ruin lives. That’s a very familiar trope that erases the importance and existence of the victim and elevates the perpetrators as valuable people who have hurt their value…

Jared’s going down too. It doesn’t exactly matter who has more pretend power, because all that shit is burning down. Yeah, at the moment the guy who couldn’t get into Harvard is running the country, but they are all spoiling like bad fruit, at the same time, because they all depend on each other for credibility. …

We’re getting off track. This is about insulting Steve Bannon.

I am hearing you on everything else, but he is only straight edge in word. We know (have concrete evidence) that he had a steady prescription for speed. There’s no particular reason to assume he stopped renewing that prescription when his behavior tracks so well with that kind of dependence.

You’re correct. He actually likes Hillary a ton, but she and everything else will be grist for his desperation mill now. He’s just addled and flinging shit like a monkey, because he’s literally never had a Plan B after “bully the shit out of everyone and then feel strong like daddy never believed I was.” He’s…

That’s way too generous. She wasn’t there in the statement. This isn’t poetry class; this is an official statement about the impact of a terrible crime, and he didn’t remember the actual victim when talking about the effects and the reasons it was so awful. It was unconscious and emblematic.

Unconscious erasure of the person who matters most on every single level of the story. Just astounding.

It’s very rude. If you are an absolute hermit artiste who hates accolades and won’t accept them, fine. But to ignore the honor and act ungrateful and *then* go collect the prize? Really bad form.

He can’t function without an opponent. He does not possess the character or constitution to work on behalf of anyone—only against things for his personal gain. That’s why he’s so adrift, and why he’s inventing enemies even when doing so only hurts him.

“They’ve humiliated themselves, humiliated their families...” said Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson.

We were at a drive-in movie and they kept running back and forth from the car like, “So you have to be a lawyer before you can be a judge? And then you can decide what’s fair? Oh!” *runs off dancing into the night*

I don’t know...evidence of Orange’s treasonous insanity is available to all at this point, and he never got even half the country’s support when his numbers were at their peak.

I’m so in love with the entire judicial branch right now. I want to have a thousand of its babies—last night I ran a short lesson on the Constitution and the role of judges with with my pre-K nephews and the little one said, “Because someone has to make sure everything is fair. It has to be right, and on and on…
