The *hilarious* physical abuse scene turned my stomach. I don’t know what they were going for there, but...yeah, this show sucks.

This is only an anti-Trump piece in the way that real life is an anti-Trump piece.

The weird politics of the show aside, I think it might have been a mistake to do the whole thing as a three-camera traditional sitcom. All the things that made the original groundbreaking, like the fact that it was often about subtler moments and the way in which it wove in serious ideas and issues, would be better

God, it’s going to take YEARS to unwind all the fucked-up stuff this asshole has inflicted on us.

Seriously, what do the Trump men have against suits that fit?

I think he was saying that he didn’t believe Trudeau when he said the US had a trade surplus with Canada because...the US has been bad at trade and he thought the Canadians were smarter (and therefore would have negotiated favorable trade deals)? It’s really an insult to both sides, which is a tough thing to

Yes. He has a notorious disregard for expertise in all fields, because he thinks no one could actually be smarter than he is, and if he doesn’t understand it, it is un-knowable. The only thing he ever thinks about is whether someone is a “winner” or a “loser,” and he thinks “winners” can just figure out how to “win”

Sarah Huckabee Sanders just said that this was “obviously” a joke. Classic stuff, really good. His impression of an early-stage Alzheimers patient gets me every time.

The states-rights party, everyone.

Trump lied about something? Imagine my profound shock and disappointment.

I drove cross country once. The trip over the border from southern Illinois into southern Indiana was fucking nuts - as soon as we got over the border, there were like miles of billboards advertising gun shops. And also a “Welcome to Indiana” sign with Mike Pence’s stupid name on it. Got the fuck out of Indiana

I don’t really get why anyone thinks Oprah would want to be president. Constant political, racist, and sexist attacks, intractable political logjams, impossible problems where you’re fucked no matter what you do, an electorate that, let’s face it, is marginally intelligent at best, and adversaries that are determined

Well, this should work out fine for her. I mean, no one has EVER defended someone against allegations of sexual harassment only to have that blow the fuck up in their face when multiple other accusers show up.

I would be willing to bet money that by tomorrow he’s saying “well of course you have to have a process you always have to have a process.” Like...those exact words.

Hitler’s Circle of Evil - it’s basically about the rise and fall of the Nazis from the perspective of the people in the “inner circle.” It’s also interesting because you can see what happens when a deeply insecure egomaniac who rises to power on a platform of fear and grievance elevates a group of infighting

Nice to meet another fan of some truly great art and decorating choices!

You can’t criticize the man’s taste, tho. I mean, that one Jesus painting? Iconic.

I’ve been watching this documentary series on Netflix about early Nazism, and I am struck by how INTENSELY silly the early Nazis seemed. They had these ridiculous little outfits, held very officious looking meetings that didn’t really do anything, and cultivated these very stupid little pseudo-militant units run by

I would like to announce the opening of my celebrity pet cloning business. I guarantee that the dogs I provide will be identical clones, and not just, y’know, dogs that sort of look similar to your purebred dog.

There was an attempted church shooting in early February where the parishioners actually tackled and disarmed the guy, and then the police came storming in and...shot the guy who had picked up the gun. So, yeah, sure, nothing could possibly go wrong if SWAT stormed a school and five or six teachers were sitting there
