I’m about *this* close to declaring a moratorium on ironically outlandish future predictions of this nation as a 3rd world hellscape, because every time someone puts one out there, the current goons in charge seem to take it as a goal to be reached.

Do you think President for Life Putin will allow it to happen?

For me, I’d love to see a David Lynch (or Lynchian, if he’s not available when we’re ready as a nation to really dissect it) HBO miniseries production.

For Trump, we’d need someone who’s willing to go full on, crazy person method acting. Someone willing to gain unhealthy amounts of weight and dive into the damaged…

I occasionally amuse myself by imagining us thirty years in the future, and wonder how many dramatizations of these events will be made and what those will look like. What sort of prosthetics will actors use to play Donald Trump? Will actors line up for it the way a series have tried to be Nixon or Lincoln? Will…

The fact that this is part of a pattern with him makes me think that this is probably susbtance related. He has a reputation for that too.

Hey kids! Today we’re going to learn a new word: discovery. As in opposing attorneys get a chance to read relevant documents and even question you under oath. Discovery.

The kind of collegiality that had journalists buying tuxes to go the Coorespondents Dinner in Washington all these years, explains it.

At the very least, Hoffman should have had a better answer prepared. Did he really not think this wasn’t going to come up? If not at this screening than somewhere else down the line.

You could call the embassy and you are persuasive and reasonable, so I’m sure they’d listen to you. David Goffin is the Belgian tennis hero who got to the World Tour Finals this year and who also did quite well for his country’s team in the Davis Cup, should you need a way in (you know the Spanish royals come to the…

Yeah, the people who put this panel together either a) thought Oliver wasn’t the kind of moderator who would bring this up or b) didn’t think the allegations against Hoffmann would be a topic of discussion. Either way, that was a huge blind spot. De Niro was in the movie too, why not have him over?

“You have indicted me. … That’s not innocent until proven guilty.”

To be fair, I think Oliver would be the first to admit that “awkward” is where he is most at home.

I saw an article on BuzzFeed with reactions from the people who were there, and many were like “what a bummer, why did Oliver have to change the subject/make everyone uncomfortable/forget he was there to discuss the film?” or “this is not the time or the place to put Hoffmann in that situation!” Those are probably the…

We just need John Oliver to host future Presidential debates.

Also: Netflix booted Danny Masterson off ‘The Ranch’. took them long enough...

I agree. I stopped watching television and mostly watch Netflix now, so this is all very distressing to me for several reasons - 1) They only care about money, 2) They are proving to be misogynistic pigs, and 3) They are supporting the awful things Scientology did in this case by proxy.

Masterson is a Scientologist. They are notorious liars and manipulators of justice, such as getting a bunch of Scientologists to sign affidavits saying survivors of his assaults are liars and that they were hanging out with Masterson having wholesome fun. Scientology also has quite a bit of influence over the LAPD…

Did you read the article? The Catholic Church got $10 million!!!

Dear God,

The combination of velvet and poofy shoulders just seems so Westerville High Prom 1987 to me.
