“It was in the range of 5% on a tab that was a couple hundred dollars.” I have no idea who that is, but this makes him a tacky prick.

For some reason, I find it hilarious that your main point of identification for Carl Reiner is “Ocean’s 11” [remake] actor.

Unfortunately a lot of very nice, smart, otherwise pretty progressive people are just kinda clueless about their own privilege. My most recent ex was one of these. He even understood things like institutionalized racism and sexism! But his parents really hammered the whole “hard work yields success and anyone who…

So if I went on hunger strike in opposition of your commenting would you stop?

“Kurt Russell” was the name of Disney’s beloved boyhood sled.

NOMAHHHHHHHHHHH GAHCIAHPARRAHHHHHHHH

Having worked in the restaurant business in the Hamptons in the 1990s I dealt with (or had co-workers) deal with a ton of celebrities. Despite that I really have no great stories but I can tell you that as far as ‘celebrities’ go Al Sharpton was an amazing tipper and extremely nice and friendly to the staff and…

Consider his position in life. She flustered him... she ‘got’ him. “Get” Trump, and he likely recognizes it as talent, even if it’s just a gut call.

Wut.

Donald Trump will flirt with the waitress. Every single time. He’s usually pretty good at getting the waitress to flirt back.

Yeah, it’s highly bizarre, although I can see the twisted logic behind it. Earlier this year, my father had a particularly horrifying manic episode involving him building a camp in the woods complete with American flag hung on clothesline, tanking up on whiskey and pot, and stumbling around being hideous and violent…

Can you imagine in 2008 if Obama had been running around saying he tried to stab a guy as a teenager? All those same people would have been spouting racist bullshit about him being one of “those” young black boys.

Exactly. The bigger the sinner, the better the redemption. Jesus works, hallelujah! Please make all checks out to CASH.

Yes. We’ve reached peak bizzaro when “I don’t think you actually tried to stab a dude” becomes character assassination.

It’s weird, right?

I’m more interested in the phrase “tried to hit his mother with a hammer”. Tried. As in, was unable to.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I’M MAKING THIS UP!? I REALLY DID STAB SOMEONE FOR CHANGING THE CHANNEL ON THE TV! NOW ELECT ME PRESIDENT DAMMIT BECAUSE I HAVE A CALM DEMEANOR THAT WILL GUIDE OUR GREAT NATION TO PROSPERITY!
