This is why McConnell et al have sat on their hands while Trump runs roughshod over the constitution and rule of law. They want to control the Supreme Court and lower courts. I don't know how much Trump has broken America in the short term, but the long game McConnell is playing has been paying off. 

For anyone that believes that this ban is the right thing to do, I’d like to point out that because of approval of executive orders like this, there are other anti-immigrant actions that are ramping up under this administration as well.

To all the Bernie Bros and Bots that told me the “the Supreme Court doesn’t matter” in 2016, I say Fuck You.

This decision is pure chicken shit. The ACLU* is right that history will judge it - and Justice Roberts - harshly.

This is why it’s important to vote to create a large enough Democratic majority that no Trump appointee will ever be confirmed. Trump is temporary but his appointees will be around for their entire lifetimes. Gorsuch will still be there when he's 80. He's not going away. Trunp's choices are permanent.

I did read a piece recently about how various movements, like MeToo and the youth demos for tighter gun control, not to mention the increase in the number of women standing for political office in the midterms, may have been a partial response to Trump, in the sense that his egregious awfulness has galvanised hitherto …

I have no problem with voting third party. Hell, I voted third party but at least be fucking consistent about it. Doing the whole “oh, the socialist didn’t win, guess I’ll just vote for the Libertarian” thing makes you look like a fucking ignorant goon.

This should come as little surprise to anyone who’s seen any of his works and wondered if Lynch has ever spoken to a brown person.

Sleepless is probably my favorite Rom-Com. Hanks and Ryan are at Peak form here, and as mentioned in the article there is a wonderful supporting cast. I’ve always liked how it was both a breezy, saccharine, romance movie, and a commentary about breezy, saccharine, romance movies. 

“No respect!”

This is why people on the right and left hate this shit.

Here’s the thing about this particular troll/marketing ploy (if indeed that’s ALL this is - and I think that it’s really him): you fuck a goat, even as a joke - you’re still a goatfucker. And I say this as a former fan who defended him through all kinds of bullshit before this, myself.

Madam, how dare you impugn the honor of Starlight Express, also known as “Cats on roller skates but they’re trains trying to stop the inexorable march away from steam, instead.”

The NYT Sunday Style Magazine this weekend was a fantastic retrospective of the art and society world of NYC, 1981-1983, including the Cats craze.

This weekend, I fell down the rabbit hole of the Love Never Dies Wikipedia page. Boy, that musical makes absolutely no sense. Critics abhorred it and nicknamed it Paint Never Dries, which really tickles me.

Every porn has that one guy that makes you wonder what the hell that guy did in his life to get to the point where he’s working as an extra in a porn and doesn’t even get to have sex.

What have Amazon Prime subscribers done to deserve the punishment of having a Larry The Cable Guy movie added to their choices?

You would think that the company would want to keep One Mississippi on for a few more seasons, if only for PR reasons. Being able to tout a feminist t.v. show that tackles the issue of sexual assault/ harassment on a regular basis could only help Amazon given the Roy Price issue, but Amazon seems to be too stupid to…

I suppose if they did start filming $50 million blockbusters, they could make a Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Cinematic Universe

Nazis don’t just spring up out of nowhere. Nazi’s don’t just “exist”. You have to make a specific, willfull decision, “I Want To Be A Nazi.”. You have to actively immerse yourself into a philosophy that says that other people Deserve to Die, just for the accident of their birth. This is not a philosophy that can be…
