Almost all of it was filmed in Charleston, SC. The baptism pool in “China” in ep. 1 is the wave pool at Whirlin Waters. The main megachurch is the North Charleston Coliseum and it’s attached conference center. The parking lot where they meet up with the blackmailers is the old Sam’s Club parking lot on Rivers Avenue…

Rudy Giuliani, a man known for his messy divorces

Keep in mind that the current administration is “republican” in name only.

Trump makes W look like a goddamn genius.

My folks used to listen to Paul Harvey in the mornings while they were getting ready for work. Sometimes that would carry over to the car ride to school. “And now ... the rest of the story.” Some propaganda is more subtle than others. 

No. This is not an expression of patriotism in any useful sense. The things that America was meant to stand for—tolerance, liberty, enlightenment—are things that Rudy and his cronies have consistently, abundantly and relentlessly shat upon. The half-man he bends over for on a weekly basis is likely a Russian asset.

Ouch. That Hertz.

Are... are they just fucking with us?

It is a matter of China having enough sense to reign in corporate greed (one benefit of being communist-based with a socialist twist, but I digress) and force local manufacture of goods sold in China.

I don't think I'd buy a Bolt new, but I'm certainly keeping an eye on used prices.

The only TP I allow in my house is Scott’s. The only times I have had a toilet back up is when somebody in the house decided to try something else. It’s also great for septic tanks, no matter what the competitors would have you believe.

When asked for a follow up, his horse replied, "Neigh".

Sit next to them meowing loudly 

In my extensive new car buying experience, I’ve gotten good deals as a repeat customer of a particular salesperson, but just being a repeat customer of a dealership hasn’t meant jack shit. 

Am I the only one here who doesn’t give a flying fuck about flying cars? I mean I am not against looking forward to the next big technological progress but this seems like a futile exercise.

The steel from ships produced prior to nuclear detonations does have higher value over steel produced in the modern era.
