Even though their President says many of the Charlottesville ralliers marching with swastika flags and torches, chanting ‘Jews will not replace us’ are fine people. That is blatant antisemitism, but they’ll let it slide. Criticize Bibi Netanyahu and his lobbyists, though? That’s over the line.

We live in a world where there is a nonzero chance that an impulsive tweet triggers the end of humanity. You might not consider that to be value, per se, but it’s definitely significant.

It’s kind of required these days. It gets the message out. Not everyone can defeat all their problems with a single punch, Saitama.

Politics Corner - Rhetorical Minefield edition. Rep Ilhan Omar called out AIPAC and the lawmakers from both parties who toe their line for backing Benjamin Netanyahu’s government as they gradually turn Israel into a permanent apartheid state by ramping up settlement building in the West Bank. Omar’s point was proven…

I could leave this gray, but it’s a fair question, phrased civilly. I appreciate those. Before the AV Club was swallowed up by Gizmodo, and the Kinjapocalypse drove away most of the regular commenters, this specific daily post was the home to a flourishing ecosystem of regular commenter features. For years. These…

Or "Cheapy Peepee"

I think the GOP Congress is desperate to avoid another shutdown, AND they are too weak to actually defy Trump by passing a veto-proof continuing resolution. It’s a game of chicken between a bunch of GOP cowards and a Predisent with the mental power of an actual chicken. I want us to avoid these idiots slamming into…

Politics Corner - Wall for Nothing? Hell No - edition. Negotiations to avoid the next shutdown, which will happen Friday unless we have a deal, have stalled. Dems are on board with a clean CR, which continues to fund the Govt at current levels. But Trump and a subset of his minions insist it must give a couple billion…

Listen, I hate the Patriots as much as the next guy, probably more. That’s all I wanted to say.

If Will Forte really wants to get this done, he knows what he needs to do. “I’ll suck your dick!”

I’m going to go full ‘National Enquirer and AMI Head Pecker are the worst’. You can call it an Alien v Predator situation, but that ignores how bad Pecker and AMI have been. Trump hating Bezos doesn’t make me a Bezos fan, but Trump using AMI as part of his personal disreputable wetworks team, doing his dirty work,…

Politics Corner said he’d catch up on the SOTU speech. I did. Rather than dissect Nancy’s clap or the Dem congressional women stealing his spotlight, or point out for the hundredth time that his immigration rhetoric is based on xenophobic smears, I want to take him at his word about bipartisan bills.

Have you seen current day ratings? It’s mildly successful, and they have a schedule to fill. I’m glad they got rid of Crawford, though. He’s not nearly powerful enough to get away with mistreating people like that.

I’d love to see them keep Seann William Scott but swap out Damon Wayans for his son, who is a talented actor based on Happy Endings and New Girl. I already came up with his perfect catchphrase. ‘I am the appropriate age for this shit!’

My thumbnail of this is that Wayans was being a diva, as opposed to Crawford, who was being an abusive asshole, so they replaced him with Stifler, who is not a diva, or an asshole, to the extent I feel guilty about calling him Stifler. Role Models is a very good movie.

Leave LOLocaust in the gray. I appreciate the support, but look at their name and leave them in the gray. Attention is what they want, and responding to them gives them more. Nobody who puts LOLocaust in their username deserves to be responded to. Let them scream impotently from the gray.

What do you intend that name to mean, troll? What is LOLocaust referring to? I didn’t watch the SOTU because I expected it to be substance free rambling. What specific policy proposals did I miss? I’ll give you a preview of tonight’s post, which you are going to read yet again - I am open to good bipartisan bills on…

Agreed that the ending section is what lifts the movie from ‘mindless spectacle’ to ‘2/3ds mindless spectacle but with a legitimately good ending.’

Sorry! I’m glad I didn’t get mean in my response. I try to avoid engaging with trolls like squamate and LOL, because attention is all they want, but I remembered you being a good guy, so when I thought you were agreeing with LOL I felt compelled to respond. My mistake. How embarrassing!

Just want to point out you’re making common cause with a Neo Nazi whose username is MoreLikeLOLocaust, just in case that slipped past your notice. No one is making you read this. But I would be more than happy to engage you in a debate over public policy.
