Criminally, I've yet to see any Veep at all. It's definitely on my to-do list, though.

There was a black guy in the audience at the alt-right rally, which seemed… unlikely.

That all makes a lot of sense. The actual cinematography and choreography of the action scenes throughout is stunning, but the whole thing is so jarringly nuts that you can only really watch it in a state of amused bewilderment.

In as much as I have absolutely no mental health care credentials whatsoever, and am just a sort of interested observer in this whole thing - I think so too.

While I get that you may consider that statement an exaggeration of West's achievements, and believe you are fully entitled to that opinion, I am curious as to what approach you think this website should take that would help. A series of articles about "Why Kanye West Isn't All That Great, Seriously, Get Over Yourself

Imma save Angry Picard some time here.

You heard him! Shut those popular and lucrative avenues of expression down! Yes, every one of them - now, damnit!

Utterly fantastic death scene. Prolonged to juuuuuuusssssssst before the point of ludicrousness.
