If I believed that The Donald would just be comically corrupt, use the presidency to turn a huge profit, and occasionally get in a twitter war with SNL, I'd be okay with this. But it's the petulance, instability, and easily manipulated sides that make him dangerous.

One of the worst ideas Dems came up with in recent years was the explanation "vote against their economic self-interest." Like people can have no other self-interest beyond the economic. Nor a public interest.

It was the royal "we." This is looking to be a massive win for Trump's personal fortune.

"Six to twelve months" seems to be a default. I really can't fathom what reality based thing they think will happen in that time, that coal mines and manufacturing plants will be blooming everywhere by the summer.

They don't have a permanent hold on the House; they have a strong enough structural advantage that people need levels of D turnout like '06 and '08 to flip it. It has been done. And 2020 would be a good time, with redistricting.

Trump has been taking calls from foreign leaders on the unsecure Trump tower phone lines.

Last week I was half awake in the morning and genuinely thought "Trump elected; that was a weird dream."

Online petitions say "I care so much about this issue I will point and click." No one in politics (or elsewhere) is worried about that turning into actual voting consequences.

This is why matte black is preferred to dingy off-white as a color choice.

If Joss Whedon were running the show, Kendra would have realized: "This was never immortal love; this is two hot people banging who would have gotten bored with each other given a few more months."

Fortunately every single time Nate takes a sword or bullet to the gut, it misses all of his internal organs.

Rip never once thought "Since it's time travel, I can spend a week explaining how things work, then go on the mission. Rather than keep yelling about how they don't understand the random rule I just remembered."

I rewound a couple of times for that move. Just wow.

Wiki says everyone is around 28. So they have been together as adults for a decade, and even post-college for 5 or 6 years.

I thought it was an interesting choice to get around that reaction somewhat by mostly showing its effect on Murphy.

The episodes without half the team are feeling really bare-budgety. The 10K one landed plausibly like a storytelling decision, but doing it every week feels increasingly like they had about five episodes worth of stuff to pack into ten episodes of action.

I just watched the end of the last season, and cringed so hard when Josh pulled "I know what the next step is—a ring. I'm looking for one. But I need you to let me do it in my own time. Whew, okay, that should buy me a year, right? She doesn't want to look naggy by bringing it up again."

It could develop into a bit of a theme—Rebecca's example encourages people to shake up their lives, be daring, and get mentally healthy to the point where they realize Rebecca is toxic. Like mental homeopathy.

I would absolutely watch the spinoff in which Paula and Sunil realize their true passion and drop out of law school to become musical spies.

I would be totally okay if they just gave Romney the narrow portfolio "actually has the nuclear codes, and Trump can't launch anything unless Romney agrees."
