My response to right wingers complaining about all the nepotism that Hunter Biden benefits from is “Wake me up when Joe adds him to the Cabinet and sends him to fix the Middle East.”

Maybe if Hannity’s father had loved him half as much, he wouldn’t have grown up like he did.

Hannity and Fox have no right to question the love and motives of someone [Biden] fearing for his son’s lost path. Making fun of someone with a Substance Abuse Disorder is about as low as one can get.

Especially considering the very public and tragic history Biden has with his family: his wife and one year old daughter died in 1972 and his son Beau died in 2015. You have to be an absolute monster to mock a parent who has already buried two children who is concerned for his only living son as he is struggling with

Yeah, I don’t understand this one. I know many Trump supporters in rural areas, or otherwise, definitely have family members struggling with addiction. I don’t see how a parent calling a wayward child to tell them they are loved, but need help, is a scandal?

I can’t imagine the kind of sad asshole you’d have to be to hear that and think “lol what a loser”.

I don’t know how any sane, compassionate person could listen to that voicemail and think it was a scandal, but then we’re talking about Fox News.

You bring up an excellent point about what does a parent do when their child is a bad person? One must be torn between love, the urge to still protect them, and wondering how did such an asshole come from me?

Besides Russell being a massive asshole, maybe audiences are catching on that his movies kinda suck*

Well, Amsterdam’s advertising campaign certainly hasn’t done it any favors. All of the commercials I see are basically lightning fast cuts as they flash a zillion actors’ names across the screen. You walk away with no idea what the film is about. The trailer isn’t much better. I actually heard the trailer before I saw

In Britain, the police would’ve been armed with extending batons, possibly tasers, wearing anti-stab vests and trained in de-escalation and non-lethal takedowns. It’s probably harder than you think to rush police from a distance and inflict a fatal stab wound on the person they’re talking to, when they’re already

You think if he started attacking his wife with a butcher knife, the two policemen present wouldn’t have had a much better chance of stopping him before he killed her? Knives can kill people, sure, but they don’t do it as quickly and easily, and they leave a lot more time and opportunity for other people to be heroes.

The presence of a gun in itself make the action more likely to happen. The presence of a gun multiply the chance of a woman being murdered by her spouse by 5. Part of it is mindset sure, a person more likely to kill their spouse is also more likely to have a gun, but part of it is that it doesn’t take the same mindset

I grew up super religious like this. No trick or treating, no costumes, no Charlie Brown Halloween special, Beetlejuice, Harry Potter, Charmed, etc etc. and all teachers were to send me to another room if there was an event.

Credulously interviewing nuts like this as news is one seriously bizarre thing about our country. 

Honestly, I could watch David Tennent and Michael Sheen just hang out together for 12 episodes and it would still be better than 95% of most shows. 

Now renew The Sandman, Netflix. I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite from these two. The Sandman had a great cast all-around but Tennant and Sheen easily match that.

The Mandalorian did a great job of this with the AT-AT. They seemed way less theatening in RotJ when Ewoks were taking them out with logs, but it seemed (believably) like an unstoppable demon when faced from ground level.

Hell yes it was. Star Wars practical effects out of everyday items are back, baby! It’s 1999 and I’m seeing my mom’s razor standing in for Qui-Gonn’s communicator all over again.

Was that just a straight-up Polaroid Land Camera standing in for Nemik’s interstellar sextant?
