Because there was that thing where in one episode they showed what looked like a guy getting eaten by zombies, but then in the next episode it turned out he hid under a dumpster or some bullshit. (At least that's what I picked up from the Internet; I don't watch the show.) BCS doesn't really do misleads like that.

One newspaper I read had a fairly large headline reading "BATMAN IS DEAD" on the front page.

It's not just its "official stance" – no one dreams about the Republic of Ireland rejoining the UK, least of all the DUP, whose base would be transformed into a small minority within a reunited Ireland, even if the reunification happened inside the Union.

Varoufakis was one of the most controversial members of a radical left-wing government at a moment of crisis in Greek politics. If that's who you want to compare Corbyn with, fine. And it's simply not true that center-left politicians all over Europe were openly sympathizing with Castro and Chavez during the Bush…

Supporting Castro and Chavez, not to mention the fucking IRA, strikes me as more of a hard-left stance than "normal, left-wing politician". And yes, there are politicians like him in many European countries, but you rarely see them leading one of the two biggest political parties.

M*A*S*H, maybe? Some might not consider the film a classic, but it is Altman, after all.

She's always looked like she had plastic surgery.

That's a valid point. Of course, the flip side of losing the "free labor" Jimmy provided is that they would probably no longer be supporting him to the same extent (IIRC, Jimmy did go to college, but dropped out; the first step of becoming a lawyer was getting the college credits he needed to graduate).

Two months ago, people were saying the AHCA was dead in the House. A little over a year ago, many were saying there was no way the GOP Senate could hold firm against a Supreme Court nominee as moderate and well-regarded as Garland. How did that turn out?

Failing to pass a bill on the first couple of attempts doesn't really matter after they did finally get it through the House. And the fact that they kept going even after failing twice and despite the unpopularity of their proposal (and the fact that it is awful policy) just goes to show how important it is to them…

Yes. The collusion is a little fuzzy (and it's not clear to me exactly what the campaign could be guilty of that would actually be illegal, short of directing Russia to hack voting machines). The efforts to make the whole thing go away afterwards are obvious, and clearly verge on if not actually cross over into…

I would presume there already is drug testing for adults with children (because think of the children!), and it's now being expanded.

Uh, they got a bill through the House, and now it's looking like they'll quite probably get one through the Senate as well. I see no basis for being dismissive of their chances.

I saw Snakes on a Plane in a packed theater. Admittedly it was opening night in a college town, but in the right milieu it didn't feel like a flop.

So how do you feel about Angela Merkel?

Sure, Jimmy's dad no doubt lost money in all sorts of other ways, but you know, it was his money to lose. Maybe if he was a better and tougher businessman the store would have been able to absorb the loss from Jimmy's theft, but that doesn't excuse it. And none of this is any reason to doubt that Jimmy regularly stole…

This all strikes me as special pleading to avoid the obvious link established on the show. Let's put it this way: with Daddy McGill's store struggling, it can't exactly have helped that Jimmy stole, at a conservative guess, thousands of dollars from the till over the years.

Much of the original narrative is based on how Trump's voters differ from the groups that voted for past Republican candidates. If you compare Trump's coalition to Romney's, there's a lot of overlap, but focusing only on the people Trump added and lost can be used to explain why Trump won while Romney lost.

I hope he keeps going, tricking out the wall with ever more stuff he thinks will make it appeal to Dems until it's a 2,000 mile long high speed rail line dotted with abortion clinics, gay marriage chapels and PBS studios.

In the flashback we saw in S2, Little Jimmy warns his dad about the grifter by comparing him to somebody from last week. So taking that as typical, a rate of one per week on average asking for $5 (like the grifter we see) or a gallon of milk (as Slippin' Jimmy alludes to in this episode), that's only a loss of $250 or…
