I live 15 minutes away in the Beach Cities and laugh everytime they position this as some unforeseen act of God — as if El Nino himself went down there and filled their massive hole.

They will now spend 14 hours locked in a steel tube, thousands of feet above the ground, with a man not exactly known for gracefully handling bad news.

I am hoping that during his Muslim speech that Stephen Miller (jesus I can’t believe that was a sentence I just wrote) wrote, he goes down the road of telling them that he is the most persecuted man in history. That should play well.

I clicked play. I saw that it was 8 minutes. I clicked pause. I thought to myself, “Fuck it, I trust Redford.” I clicked play.

I want to know what unholy deal Stephen A made with Satan that gets him on TV but leaves him always at a table with someone even shittier than he is.
