Why so anxious? I'm on the west coast and haven't seen this episode yet. But I'm entirely confident that Thomas and Ruggiero will tie most things up and end with an awesome song at the end of whatever season.

"State sponsor of terrorism" should be the wording, but yeah.

I agree with you about the other things, but what place would Bannon have in the Pence WH? People keep comparing Trump to Nixon. There's more equivalence between Bannon and Nixon. Bannon isn't nearly as smart as Nixon was, but shares his combination of moral evil and paranoid mental illness. With Trump, it really…

Surely somebody (Bannon?) will stop this from happening. Switch the phone with a disabled one? Kill the wi-fi, call it a terrorist attack, and take him to a bunker?

I think that your poor pattern recognition and tendency to repel information will lead to a short, miserable time here. But you clearly think think that you're on a roll. We'll see.

!!! When you're either a paid plant (most likely), or an actual idiot, the reception​ here is likely to be unfriendly. Cash your check and move on.

If you want to insult, "hillbilly" is a term that Appalachian and Appalachian-adjacent whites don't like. I don't think anybody cares about "cracker."

I dunno. I'm not completely confident in my hearing of phonemes. I think that if you listen to recordings of deep south whites from the Civil Rights times, the "r" is almost non-existent, but accents shift.

The deep south white accent doesn't have a hard "r". There, at least, a distinction without a difference.

No, nor should you. This seems unobjectionable.

My first economics professor in college was a guy named Dick Armey. While he was teaching my class and others, he was also running for his first (of many) term in Congress. Instead of teaching us the somewhat technical subject matter, he was mostly practicing his stump speeches on us, which were a dumbed down,…

Yes, you are right. U.S. laws on libel are typically more restrictive than the European ones. Don't endorse our current president trying to cover his vile ass in any way with that. He hopes to reduce free speech.

Cotton doesn't kill in Southern California. There are synthetic fibers that may improve upon it, but it breathes in the heat, protects from the sun, and dries quickly in a breeze. You are describing extreme cold survival. That is probably a shrinking field.

Doesn't look like he's missing a limb yet but he might be soon with that fucked-up rapelling rig.

Do they also play for plans to Russian nuclear tech?

"King of Silicon Valley?" SpaceX is in Hawthorne, in the South Bay area of LA County, and Musk lives in LA, too.

Crenshaw Blvd is not actually a highway, but your point is well taken. Why do the employees of our wannabe gateway to the stars park across and up the street in the fucking Home Depot parking lot?

Yeah, based on the secret room, his claim that he's making his money from poker doesn't seem likely. Looks like it's computer crime or espionage, which aren't necessarily separate things. Could be two things, or one.

I might try it again if I remember. The cast was strong and it looked pretty. I'm not so sure about whoever's in charge of the narrative. The first half hour - everybody's seen much better Romeo and Juliet than that.
If the intention was to denature the tragedy of the play in favor of political intrigue and off-stage…

Lucifer was crispy in the mysterious last scene, too. His skin was burned and peeling from what looked like more than sun, unless it was days of it. His wings were pristine.
