Discovery is a classic example of “all the actors involved are lovable, but all the material they’re given made them utterly unlikable”

“Excuse my naiveté, but I thought we had all agreed the answer was maybe yes years ago.”

Oh no, an unknown YouTuber didn’t get the red carpet rolled out for her!

Okay.

anti-semitic, anti-BLM, anti-mask. she said Alderaan things.

So you’re sure it’s a lie...because some unrelated issue you’re shoehorning into this?

The remarkable thing about all of this is that I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if you’ve abused women and have no idea.
