He could really double down by putting his fucking dad in a home and disbanding the media empire that has done more than anyone to enable the mainstreaming of right wing extremism.

If by that you mean "has a stroke on the terlet while prosecuting a weird interpersonal grievance on Twitter" then I certainly hope so.

That's beautiful.

I saw a tweet that was like,

What did the Shat do?

This is a solid pitch.

What would you say he's best known for?

Is all that in the story about the two Corinthians Trump loves so much?

I believe he doesn't drink, but I'm pretty sure he takes a staggering cocktail of prescription drugs, probably including uppers of some kind.

I don't have it in me to articulate the scope of my constant bafflement with this ludicrous creature.

Holy fucking shit dude.

I think people are giving Bannon too little credit with this line of thinking. He may be a drunk and an ideological extremist, but he's not an idiot. He just works for one for the time being.

I'm doing it right now!

I was just riffing on Scottish and Welsh antipathy to the English in general, no disrespect to Pratchett. At all.

That would be good, since apparently it had no effect on Bond beyond him missing like one shot and then shaking off impromptu brain surgery.

There are two separate phenomena here, I think - the actual leftists who (in my opinion not incorrectly) posit that there isn't all that much difference between the Republicans and Democrats in key areas like the economy and foreign policy, and then the centrist and liberals who decry the "extremists on both sides,"…

I've watched too many progressive parties snatch defeat from the jaws of victory to put too much faith in polling this far out from the midterms.

That's fair enough. But to his supporters and in the mind of far too many Republicans, that doesn't really matter. You're not one of them, so the unhappier you are with Trump the happier they are.

He's insulted a lot of people whose sense of party loyalty has then compelled them to roll over for him at every available opportunity. I hope you're right though.

Sure but I think the Democrats are more likely to move toward impeachment if they have the numbers. I'd fucking hope so, anyway.
