Hail to the king, baby. Had to see that alternate ending.

Well, Eric Garcetti has never been more than a big square head and a smile with eyes that only light up when he’s shaking hands with CEO or a developer who shares his weird “Manhattanwood” dream, and Gavin Newsom is Gordon Gekko with a thin coat of liberal paint, so are you really surprised?

Oh, no question. “AOC killed by band of illegals!!” would be the headline.

Yeah, once he’s out of office, conversation about him will go quiet for a little while “as the country heals,” and then in a decade or so he’ll be trotted out with other ex-presidents, and the only acknowledgement the particulars of his noxious administration will get will be overuse of the word “controversial”…

You’re goddamn right he was, and every time someone criticizes Chuck Todd while yearning for the days of Tim Russert, it makes me want to shove them into the sea.

He’s actually very good at his job, because he’s a paid actor whose entire purpose is to roll over for Republicans and start shouting “both sides! both sides!” when a left-winger makes a good point. That’s the roll of the guy who hosts Meet the Press; nothing of any journalistic substance has ever occurred on that…

Eh, I like Seed. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun, and while 3 feels like a chore, Seed feels like Don Mancini was really trying for something.

As horror series go, the Child’s Play/Chucky movies are generally pretty strong. The only real dud is 3.

This is like when David Brooks or David Frum or one of those other sad little NeverTrump toads cry about how “they aren’t real Republicans, they’re Trumpists!!” They are loud, they are organized, and they have grabbed the horn. Like it or not, these people define American Christianity at this point.

He did when he and Bosh joined the Heat, but I don’t think he’s done it since.

Look, man, “Big Two” doesn’t roll off the tongue like “Big Three,” and that’s just all there is to it. Marketing, baby!

No he fucking wasn’t, Tim Russert was just as bad and impotent, and the Bush administration regularly sent Cheney to Meet the Press when he was there to control their message. Him being lionized after his death is absolutely maddening.

pls do

Nah. I hate Harden’s game as much as the next guy, but he’s still a useful NBA player, whereas Chris Paul is just a bloated contract with a scowl. I’d be pissed at having to carry his angry ass, too.

Someone online referred to Joker as “Black Panther for incels,” and I think that’s pretty spot-on.

Of course they’re art. Perhaps not *good* art, but art nevertheless.

My move is, I wait until about an hour in, then I start getting ready, and then when I’m ready to go, I look at the clock and decide, “Eh, it’s a little late to be showing up, fuck it,” and then I just stay home. It’s nice!

Mentioned above, as well, but I agree -- if I had to guess, I’d say Bannon made the comparison once to flatter Trump, and Trump has just been holding onto that.

I’m still not entirely convinced that Trump worships Andrew Jackson so much as Steve Bannon made the comparison once and Trump is just hanging onto that. I don’t believe for a second that Trump knows anything substantial about Andrew Jackson at all. 

Actually, the reason Savage jumped ship is because Vince *didn’t* want to put the belt back on him; Vince was all-in on “The New Generation” at that point and wanted to turn Savage into a sort of substitute Vince: commentator + backstage guy.
