I had to explain this to people. For some reason because one’s wearing a red hat and the other’s wearing a donkey mask, people have a hard time recognizing that both of them are hopelessly vain attention-craving narcissists cut from the same cloth.

Newt Gingrich masturbates himself to sleep nightly to the thought of Steampunk terraformed moon bases manned entirely by poor children.

On the subject of things that smell in Victorian England:

Ah, Victorian society, when the word “software” didn’t mean “stuff installed on computers.” It meant “composted dead cats, sifted out of that giant trash heap in the middle of town.” Don’t take my word for it; ask Charles Dickens.

Wait.

In 2017, I didn’t expect a critical analysis of “the film that launched a billion hipsters.”

I was raised Catholic. Went to a school that was Catholic but open to everyone and also a good school, so it also had a bunch of wealthy mainline Protestants, some African-American Baptists, a few rather secular children of rock musicians, the occasional Jewish student, etc.

OMG he straight up looks like a Dr. Seuss caricature of himself right here:

He didn’t button his jacket. He doesn’t button his jacket. There’s no evidence he knows how to button his jacket or that he’s supposed to do so. He simply adjusted it back to its normal saggy, formless drape.

Haha yep, slightly wrong country from OP. Though, from the sound of it, he was this kind of dentist.

She’s like some dark parody of a nice human being. Like you’d imagine a demon from another dimension inhabiting a hollowed out skinsuit would act.

Trump had to move closer to him to not lose his balance, it was a complete and thorough dismantling of Trump’s sad attempt at machismo against a guy who probably ate rocks for breakfast for the first 12 years of his life, before joining the Soviet military and getting rocks for breakfast and roundhouse kicks to the…

I think this guy wasn’t actually expecting it the way Trudeau was. But he’s that stocky former-Soviet type of dude that when some doughy fop tries some bush-league move like that, he’s not going to leave it unchallenged.

If you watch carefully you can see the moment where Trump *tries* his signature yank-back, but he’s being so dominated by Macron that it barely even registers.

That would explain why she doesn’t actually smile; she just bares her teeth.

The same reason these grifters keep finding marks. The same reason MLM/pyramid schemes work. Because there are that many people in this world who truly believe they are the exception to the rule. That there’s enough room in the grift for them to earn theirs, too.

If you want to get a little fancier, you can buy a special, knife-protecting drawer tray.

Hey now, don’t go dragging sailing into this!

Maybe some magical, ahistorical NY, but in 2017, in the real world, NY’s just Donald Trump and a bunch of oil sheikhs and Russian mobsters building supertall embezzlemonument blights on the landscape that nobody will ever actually live in.

I would put that in English on my supercar.
