I find myself wondering whether Chuck believes his own rationalizations. As others have pointed out, his motives aren't necessarily 100% malicious (just as good-hearted Jimmy can't help but leave carnage in his wake - people are complicated), but I do think all the "we are officers of the court!" noise serves as a…

Kim: "Call it the fallacy of sunk cost."
I hadn't realized what a Palpatine-looking motherfucker Soros is before Google image searching him just now. Undoubtedly that heightens the draw for the fearmongers as well as their marks. Well, that and the crucial parenthetical factor. Wonder if the revelation that he's hep to the reefer will earn him brownie points…
I work at a library and had a patron ask me just this morning if we'd bought this: https://www.amazon.com/Old-… (#1 Best Seller in Nationalism)
I've noticed those types here and there on the fringes. It's a bit puzzling until you realize they probably never understood much about Sanders' actual platform beyond the promise of radical change and anti-establishment upheaval. That would certainly help explain how some of them were able to migrate from Bernie to…

I only pray I'm not too late!
She just won't stop yelling!

Don't plan too much, Donny, it may not come out right!
Nothing for it but DRAIIINNNAGE, Orson, you BOY.
Something something Third Revelation. Something something spoiler alert. SLURRRRP
I was a pretty undiscriminating ten year old, but Dungeons & Dragons made me realize we probably needed to put a floor on this thing. Not even campily entertaining, despite the "efforts" of a slumming Jeremy Irons.
I thought it was a pretty cool story at the time. Then again, I was slightly soused.
I find "MMMbop" to be more emblematic of that particular phenomenon. (Hanson was most definitely NOT my first concert as a child, and if anyone testifies against me I'll gouge their eyes out!)
Well that just made my life. (Low bar, admittedly.)
I think he really is just an idiot. I also would imagine that making a living spinning for an insanely prolific pathological liar leaves one mentally ravaged and sleep-deprived to the point of incoherence. No sympathy, mind - you sign up with the devil, you get what you deserve.
