has volunteered to testify in front of the House Intelligence Panel regarding Russia’s influence in the election.

This will be struck down as unconstitutional and is simply a waste of time and money. It does however show what horrible women hating forced birth douche bags most republicans are. This bill is horrible, are they going to pay for all the treatments for these children? Or increase welfare programs? Nope. Also God?…

Problem: the hollywood press/gossip is too pervasive, they ask too many questions and never leave you (a celebrity) the hell alone.

I find Kristen Bell sharp, adorable, and great as an actress.

I both agree with Page Six and think it’s shitty. I 100% find them cloying and OTT (always like her roles though.) And I roll my eyes whenever I glimpse their interviews.

Trump said “she is strong and doing well” to contrast that against his expectations of women, he was clearly thinking she was going to be hysterical and crying in a corner.

AHCA crashing and burning? This is not a surprise. The GOP, both in Congress and across the country, is NOT really a single party any longer, but rather (at least) two very different political parties—the Tea Party/alt right and the remnants of “moderate” Republicans/conservatives and their allies—artificially united…

The thing is if Mcintosh had been a “minority student,” then I doubt Rick Perry would have taken time out of his precious schedule to attack Brooks.

To me, it really makes absolute sense that they have boosted security since the Paris incident. I mean, I had my purse snatched by a biker once and it took me about two months to not feel terrified about leaving my house. I felt so violated and kept thinking that he might be watching me and come back. I can’t even…

One, I can’t at all blame them for beefing up security after Kim’s harrowing ordeal and Kendall’s burglary, and who knows if Kendall’s would have been worse if she’d been home.

i barely open my front door all the way for food delivery people, and i’ve never been assaulted or robbed. if i had been, i’d have my house on lockdown too. i can’t fault kim and ‘ye (or even kendall) at ALL.

I’ve made this argument on Jez to much (obvious) contention but really, I just don’t think comedy is for progressives. Modern progressives are too sensitive and go into viewing entertainment with a list of boxes to check for groups and subgroups and sub-subgroups that shouldn’t be “offended.”

I watched Spin last night, and Rich is leaving out a key part of the Cosby commentary - that being it was a callback to a joke done earlier in the show concerning a superhero who resorts to rape to maximize his “powers,” setting up a moral conundrum of “he rapes, but he saves lives.”

This wasn’t Andrew Dice Clay…

Let’s just remember that he has a valuable legacy that I can’t just throw away. I remember that he’s the first black man to ever win an Emmy in television. I also remember that he’s the first guy to make a cartoon with black characters where their lips and noses were drawn proportionately. I remember that he had a…

Every time some one has to say this when an article about his kids is posted and I just cringe. I cannot imagine the kind of balls it takes for her and her brother to confirm their identity when it is sure to set off numerous people sharing their suspicions and essentially denying them the ability to solidify their…

Wtf? Passing as white doesn’t mean she needs to exclude her biracial, black-American heritage.

There was an interview with Peele where he said he actually did want to hire a black American actor because he felt it was a specifically black American story and he hesitated to hire Kaluuya. They eventually had to discuss how/whether Kaluuya had some deeper understanding of the story before Peele would consider…

I agree with you in general. I think Newton is talking about prestige dramas specifically. You’re absolutely right that your regular, bog-standard programmes like Corrie, Eastenders, the Bill, etc have made real efforts to diversify their casts. However, if you look at the big prestigious programmes like Call the…

What he said was misconstrued. He did not at all say that Brits shouldn’t get jobs here or anything like that. Musing how the role in Get Out might have been played differently by someone with a personal experience with American culture is not a diss. Black Americans know darn well that Black Brits are automatically…

It sucks because roles are limited in both of our countries. So British actors come here, and I don’t blame them, but they are often picked over Black Americans because of the comfort that white Americans have with them when they open their mouths and a British accent comes out. They are perceived as a more acceptable…
