Don’t forget massively expensive public works projects to make the region even marginally habitable for these hard-workin’ rootin’ tootin’ pioneers.

You glazed over the most important part of that story: The Trump kids set up a lemonade stand outside their summer home in Connecticut, but because there was so little foot traffic in that ritzy neighborhood, they made their servants buy the lemonade with their meager earnings.

Or they’re fascists that believe government is intended to benefit the rulers and punish their opponents.

Don’t forget steaks and WATER. 

The storytelling weakened before they left the books behind. Martin’s last two books are mediocre at best, and wrote several main characters into corners that will be difficult to escape (which is why I suspect Martin himself is stalling on releasing the next chapter). The TV writers did what they could to unravel…

Missandei was dead no matter what. There was no way she was leaving Cersei’s imprisonment alive. Tyrion was right to at least try to reach a relatively peaceful resolution.

I agree that the show has decline since season 4-ish, but I differ on the reasons some.

Isn’t Eve Peyser the edgelady that cozied up to Martin Shkreli before he got sent to prison?

Observation: Some people’s musical tastes are objectively bad.

Can you imagine the kind of absolute turds she must be interested in? She’s the kind of woman that would unironically be into Dan from Veep. 

I am nearing 40 and have no children. I like kids, but hearing them scream annoys the living shit out of me.

Why is this overheated pop tart traveling for work anyway? What is she doing now that regularly requires her to be in a different city?

Oh, so now Trump doesn’t like it when the competitor that comes in second ends up winning on a technicality?

Counterpoint: It’s not good, and is actually just as bad if not worse than their other bland garbage music, regardless of what we label it. 

I’m older than you, and at least partially agree with your overall thesis regarding post-2003 rock, but you are very, very wrong about Queens of the Stone Age. 

I’m mentally preparing for a second Trump term, including seeing Republicans gain seats in the 2020 election, because there’s absolutely zero reason for Republicans and their allies, both here and abroad, to not cheat in every way possible now.

CNN is a huge part of the problem. I’ve personally seen Camerota host a forum involving disgraced Republican and conservative commentators that should be banished from any respectable establishment, much less one pretending to engage in fact-based journalism and debate.

“The lack of consequences suffered by this president for his repeated lies, crimes and transgressions against honesty and decency is filling me with despair!

So despite the fact that O’Keefe and his fellow fascists are blithering morons, him openly bragging about turning his criminal organization into an “intelligence agency” — in ad showing him wearing a mask and wielding a silenced pistol — is pretty damn chilling.

It’s seriously weirding me out. I had no idea that washing chicken before cooking was even a thing — but to find out that people do it because they think that’s how you make it clean feels like I’ve entered a spinoff sect of anti-vaxers.
