To be clear, I don’t believe that the senators and representatives who are using these things as cover are evidence of it working. They’d be serving their masters either way. The reason I don’t believe it’s working this time around is that I don’t see the public buying it, especially at the expense of supporting a…

That, sir, is five-star gif accuracy.

They are flailing in terror, trying to use their normal playbook but just ramping up the numbers to Dr. Seussian levels, and it’s just not going to work this time. Invading Venezuela, trying to get Israel to invade Iran, it’s the same old show and it’s not working.

Hey, look... another clumsy attempt at trying to offend people who support moderate Democrats and cause them to be angry with those are further Left.

While I don’t agree with you about the time shifts (I think in this particular case they thematically and structurally tied into Wayne Hay’s mental shifts in an effective way), I have to agree about using that Junius scene to fill in the gaps. That was some egregious shit and I was pretty frustrated by it. It’s like…

Two garbage men. Not garbagemen, but garbage men. If only there was a humane way to remove their tongues, fingers and all means for them to communicate on a mass scale.

Hey, look, someone’s trying to cause family arguments. Let’s all ignore.

Intense, visceral description dominates the book. Loads of it. And I find that while it at first challenging, I find it to be really effective in this book. Now as the book proceeded past the point where I wrote this comment, there was more conventional narrative in terms of talking about stuff rather than describing…

I have never switched the closed captioning on so often for an American show.

Yes. There should be consequences that these people feel for their monstrous actions. If their money insulates them from legal consequences that actually hurt then it’s up to us come up with others, such as continuous and never-ending public shaming. Boycotting and protesting any events or exhibitions or public spaces…

Your use of facts and attempting to draw logical conclusions from them has been noted and will be reported. You have been warned.

I don’t think it’s possible for me to be less surprised. Crowley was and is the enemy.

Dude, the amount of times you trolls are posting in an attempt to smear her is such incredible evidence of your total fear of this woman.

If you’re gonna reach for a star, reach for the lowest one you can.

Agreed. And Davis is a model of courageous principle in the face of pretty disgusting, disrespectful treatment. I’m heartened by all the public support she received.

Two thumbs up for a revelatory use of sarcasm. Well done, sir.

Let’s hope we’re not past that cycle into something far scarier.

I have been progressively more terrified of the impending collapse each time I walk down the street and see dozens of progressively more specialized shops. The number of restaurants and eateries in the DC Metro area is clearly ludicrously unsustainable. Car companies are working hard to pretend that the apocalypse…

Right!? I think AHWAS is great, and I will watch absolutely anything Sedaris plays in because I think she’s as good as it gets, but Strangers With Candy is one of the greatest things of all time. God Damn would I give a lot even just to see a new Strangers holiday special from all those folks.

Let me amend my last statement. If you defend criminals like Crowley or bastards like Hoyer, Schumer and the rest against actual humans like Ocasio-Cortez or Omar or Sanders you work on behalf of the enemy. You do work for the enemy.
