Bolstering his presidential bona fides before debates start, smart.  I peg him as a front runner with the Starbucks guy and a sentient Dunkin Donut.

I’ve been consistently impressed that Avenatti manages to make headlines each week with something completely different than last week but without ever lowering the drama level and often raising it. It’s really incredible, this guy is some kind of sordid, scandal-engaging machine.

I mean, the problem is, a lot of big cities (like San Francisco) don’t have any affordable housing and a lot of migrants have family or friends in the States that they can stay with. So busing someone from Texas to random sanctuary cities in the US is a clear waste of government resources.

I think it’s kind of a reaction that the Good White People had to the tumult of the Civil Rights movement, honestly. Zeitgeists are by their nature hard to nail down and describe concretely. But looking back on it, I see Reaganism as essentially a truce among whites on all sides of the political spectrum to just…

Just gonna jump in here and point out that Bad Thingel is in fact the proper spoonerism of Thad Bingel. Since a spoonerism is a transposition of the the first consonant sounds of the respective words (which you yourself point out), you would bring the entire th phoneme from “-ad” to “-ingel”.

Thad Bingel, but only because “Bingel” reminds me of Patton Oswalt’s “Cleaned-Up Filth” bit off of Werewolves & Lollipops.

It’s part “politics as sport” and part those in power never have to really face the consequences of politics. As a white, (upper?) middle class, cis male, little Trump has done has impacted me directly. If I was even further up the ladder, the impact would be even less. So when the rotating cast of politicians don’t…

This is the way we live now, even the apologists have apologists, and culpability is pushed upstream while consequences accrue downriver and never the twain shall meet.

If Baraka’s car keys go missing or their souffle collapses, it’s the nefarious skullduggery of Nancy “Double Satan McHitler” Pelosi.

It’s good that he left on his own terms, to post takes online, rather than a messy, sad parting from an organization he served so well as a player, not so much as an executive.

. . .So, this basically?

That. The Dog Army. The Zombie Dragon. With sex scenes in between, of course.

I still think Dany dies in the show as well as in the books, but otherwise I agree.

Oh shit...This whole thing was just a snowglobe Bran kept looking at.

I feel like it’s going to end with some major characters dying, some major character winning the game of throne and then it’ll be like, “Oh wow, all of that and nothing REALLY changes. Circle of power/life, bro.” And everyone who invested time in the show will be pissed and every jerkoff nerd fanboy will go, “Well…

I’ve been angry about this for years, but this bill still seems like a step too far.

By god you’re not gonna get away with this

After the Garnett trade, this is when the tank was supposed to START. The fact that they’ve managed to rebuild is magical. To make the playoffs this year is sorcery, like they’re a bunch of mages, or like, what’s the word I’m looking for...

Likelihood Bill Maher has creepily touched people, 99.999...%

Bill Maher has always been a skeevy perv who is a lot closer to Trump in this area than he’d ever dare to admit.
