I too was very confused at the level of liberties they took to... celebrate? of all people? P.T. Barnum. Just, what the fuck? No one asked for this.

I mean,

Also, Azar was at HHS when the W.Bush admin was pushing privatization (if you have parents dealing with medicare, he’s responsible for why RX is under a whole separate plan.) Not to mention he worked for Kenneth Starr, and a whole bunch of other fun tidbits that make him a real peach.

Cups everywhere but where it counts.

He’s really down with being a femdomme.

Anyone else seeing a not so subtle bdsm styled bra and corset in that Punisher vest? Like, Batman & Robin called and wants its nipple darts back...

That basically puts him in the same logic as Polanski. I’m sure that’s a club he’s always wanted to be member to.

This. I don’t get at all why Anderson Cooper of all people has played along with it to boot. As presenters go he has the most leverage as far as brand-authenticity and independence (he don’t need that CNN money) but he refuses to use that leverage to do actual reporting instead of playing Pre School Dodge Ball Referee…

I mean, technically Telemundo is owned by an Egyptian man, but sure.

Since Kid Rock is out, Michigan, cmon!

Pivoting into a Sally Jesse Rafael style thing is probably the best move she has left

He already has one. It’s called RealDonaldTrump

It’s really a pathological form of arrested development, never making it past the toddler point of coping mechanisms. He’s always gone out of his way to make a big show about how little something meant to him after he’s won it, just to hurt the people who it meant SOMETHING to. In something like a building, or a…

badumcha.

Yup this is the correct view. Trump has been laughed at and told to go screw by every institution he begged and pleaded to be part of. His successes have all been built on spite (and hot air.) And when he gets what he wants he uses his position to destroy it, to shove it in the face of everyone who told him to knock…

I still don’t understand how she married the guy who falsely claims to have invented E Mail.

No. Jen Kirkman actually said that he is NOT the subject she was speaking about when this whole thing kicked off, and that to her knowledge he has not engaged in this kind of behavior she’s known other male comics to: https://www.avclub.com/jen-kirkman-sets-the-record-straight-on-louis-ck-and-th-1818543488

This was a great piece but I definitely clicked it thinking “that is a naive as hell headline, if you don’t think ‘fake news’ predated 1800.”

She actually already has a show sort of about this on Netflix. It’s a Canadian production. And pretty funny.
