Agreed. Seems like a pattern there.

You’re assuming it’s merit based when it’s probably just powerful awful people having each other’s backs.

There’s this thing called the “old boys’ club.”

This show airs on CBS you say? The same network with Michael Weatherly and Marv Albert? Quelle surprise.

I will always think of Nicholas Hoult as the boy in “About a Boy”. He was just a kid and so good. Just heartbreaking. It always makes me think "Good for him!!" when I see him in other things. He turned out so handsome! And so talented!

while this may be true, the reason Biden is running the most progressive platform ever is because Bernie and Elizabeth pulled the conversation that way due to the popularity of their platforms and their campaigns. i really don’t think Joe would be nearly this progressive unless he had to be.

By today’s standards, Biden is not a progressive. By 2008 standards, he absolutely is. Supporting a public health care option open to everyone, aiming for net-zero emissions with $2 trillion in federal climate change funding, eliminating mandatory minimum sentences, making community college tuition-free—in 2008, these…

“Any single one of the serious candidates for the democratic nomination other than Bloomberg would have been the most liberal president this country has ever had - yes, even Biden.”

But he won Iowa! The whitest and least populous and therefore most significant of the primaries!

Also, folding up your presidential campaign and then temping as a late night host less than two weeks later (in the midst of a public health crisis) is ridiculous.

It was a dumb move. Sure, Bernie’s got the left wing all claimed out, but the center lane was chock full of Bidens and Bookers and Klobuchars.

Randall’s skewering is purely politically motivated, and has nothing to do with pretenses of celebrity.

So successfully that he dropped out a week ago after getting whipped like a narc at a biker rally in his very first big boy primaries.

“Randall’s skewering is purely politically motivated”

“and how his campaign aimed for the center so successfully”

Only if you’re American. The rest of us understand full well the lack of divide between celebrity and public servant that happens routinely in the US.

I feel like the level of piss was perfect! Pete is a cynical corporate politician trying to extend his 15 minutes. He needs our discouragement

Meh. It’s Woody Allen. Leaving aside all the sketchiness surrounding him, the man hasn’t had anything particularly interesting to say for decades now.

i wish mr. king would take the same outraged stand about how i am being muzzled b/c i can’t find a publisher for my book!  (tbh, i actually write plays & many have been published...but not every one!  i am being muzzled!!!!)  publishers are about making money, they would’ve published if they thought it was…
