Somehow I doubt a lady of this caliber is an intern for a Republican member of Congress.

Well, unless the Congressperson is a Republican, in that case they will fire the intern and say “Mr. President, please let me know the best time to fellate you at your convenience” on the floor.

Yes.

You know, we laugh and cheer, but thinking about this more in depth, this is really the way to get at Trump. Logical, intelligent debate isn’t effective (he’s simply not smart enough). Appealing to his humanity isn’t effective (he has none). But he is desperate, desperate to be liked and admired. That’s why Kim…

And her running mate...

I appreciate the dissonance of politely calling him ‘Mr. President’ before lobbing a glorious f-bomb at him.

*pushes glasses up nose* Erm, I think you mean ‘whence’. Whither= where+to. Whence=where+from. I was expecting this to be about him having mysteriously disappeared from the show for Hollywood intrigue reasons or something.

A million dollars per episode production cost will make anyone skittish. Especially with middling ratings and views.

“Everyone on that show just reeks of desperation. It’s the only thing about it I find entertaining.” This is a deliciously fucked up line.

People playing at being poor makes me crazy. It’s why I detest On The Road so much. If I wanted to listen to a bunch of middle-class white dudes wax poetic about issues that don’t effect them I would join the Republican party.

Arrested Development?

It’s definitely about community participation, and the fact that he has taken on a high-profile role speaking about Indigenous issues, but no Indigenous community claims him as a member.

I found this commentary useful.

You lost me at Westworld and Arrival. Both phenomanal. You cray cray!

For real! My lotto dream is to have a closet full of custom suits made out of terry cloth, velour and jersey. George Costanza is my spirit guide.

Sorry, this was a bad reply. But I agree with you! And I’m very sick of movies and TV shows and even, like, advertisements that profess to condemn something while directly and explicitly contributing to that thing they’re saying they condemn!

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.

I am surpized how many critics have been bashing this episode, when my friends and I were thrilled with it, pretty much top to bottom.
