That one I don't even understand. Wasn't Don Johnson in that?

You go ahead and you keep leaning on your universally toxic code phrases to dodge having a substantive conversation about anything with someone you do not agree. As long as you can dismiss anything you don't like with a reflexive "I don't care what he says, I know what he really means" you'll never have to be…

Yeah, stupid jokes! They should only be the nice kind, where chickens cross roads merely to achieve their goals.

Show me exactly where he said in the internal memo that "women shouldn't be engineers".

I say let's be sensitive to the current culture, and instead of calling Samantha Bee shrill, we can say, "She's like listening to an ambulance siren, only minus some of its intellectual heft."

Well, we resolved she didn't torture those children, but I heard a rumor she actually makes her own kids watch these films she directs, so yeah. Worse than Hitler.
