I think I see two Leias and a Rey, I’m guessing they’re casing the White House to find the thermal exhaust port.

My operating theory has always been that the campaign never cared about anything because it wasn’t designed to win, it was designed to make a media empire out of whining about President HRC. Every month, I get more evidence in support of that theory. This really is a Plan B they never prepared for.

(I used to object to comic book stories that had Lex Luthor as President or Norman Osborn as head of Homeland Security because, come on... people have seen them be supervillains for years! So unrealistic, I used to think)

Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. Y’know the thing about a shark, he’s got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’... until he bites ya.

What already goes back to Trump is his obstruction of justice - ignorance would be one thing and hard to disprove, but he has been actively using his office to prevent investigation (most notably but not limited to firing Comey). It’s obstruction when you improperly use your power to protect an innocent man, and it is…

No, the worst part of this is a 14 year old allegedly being abused and feeling powerless to stop it. The allegation needs to stay at the front and center. It’s not about politics or show business (whatever repercussions come), it’s the life of one person.

All alone

Oh, I just hate Tom Brady, that’s all.

I can’t actually recommend the whole film, it’s a Blake Edwards farce at his most slowly paced (and misogynistic).

I learned it from the Dudley Moore bigamy comedy “Micki & Maude”, and it was like a light bulb went off.

Welcome to the party, pals.

I wanted an idiom to paraphrase to respond to TPaDiaB with, and that frequently paraphrased/misused idiom seemed appropriate for the occasion. I didn’t put a whole lot of thought into it - sentences two, three, and four of my initial response seemed more important and more relevant, and I flatter myself in thinking…

Given that “A and B” means “B and A”, I think I’m good here. Yes, the emphasis is changed, so it’s not the same, but “totally backwards” would be “Eat your cake and not have it any more”.

noun 1. a rewording of something written or spoken by someone else.

(That’s what made it a paraphrase)

How did you know I was thinking of Roger Winkle?

(More specific but not a contradiction)

It was certainly rambling and lightly plotted, but I would cheerfully watch another five or ten hours of such stuff. In some respects, a half hour at a time for an indefinite run would serve the material better.

...and co-starred, a pair of triple threats!

Rambling is one thing (and you certainly are), but you’re trying to have your cake and eat it (look, I paraphrased an idiom and also I mean it because I know what words mean). If “he’s not wrong in a sense”, then he doesn’t get a pass for “paraphrasing an idiom”, because he was consciously and explicitly linking the…
