It's really horrible that, in my mind, the Best Case Scenario is getting enough faithless electors to vote for Romney or Ryan, and then with no one at 270 it goes to the House, and they pick that Romney or Ryan. Like, that's the best we can reasonably hope to happen, and it's a fucking longshot.

I think he's saying that the Jeremiah Wright fearmongering amounted to nothing, because really Obama didn't have strong ties to Wright. As opposed to Bannon being put in the Trump inner circle.

Strictly speaking, if that's your standard, couldn't that be said of everybody?

I'm quite pleased that my teenage son's Spotify is loaded with stuff from the 40s to today.

Has it looped around completely, and it's now full hipster to actually watch your television ON a television?

Yes, sadly, yes.

I don't think that (bringing Bill's accusers in) did anything outside of the bubble.

Every false equivalence ("they're equally bad"), every rationalization for his behavior, every missed opportunity to flatly and completely denounce him, every time no one sat down and said "this man has no idea how to be president or what that job entails"

I'm convinced that at least part of the seething Clinton hatred is tied very much to class. I mean, how much of the rhetoric against them is about how "greedy" or "conniving" they are? Because they came from very humble roots, and then got to the White House? Same with Obama. As much as we love the "anyone can be…

This is a big part of it: the Republicans had done such a good job delegitimizing mainstream media and journalism, that they then had no tools to dismantle Trump with. Anyone who said anything against him was "part of the system".

Here's the sad truth— some people just aren't paying any attention to anything. They don't watch debates, read the news, anything, and then they go to the polls and vote for the party they always vote for, somehow unaware of the clusterfuck surrounding this election. They didn't vote for Trump on jobs or the…

I recently was watching some West Wing clips (just for some solace), and there was a great President Bartlett quote, "There are very few days in this job that involve absolute right and absolute wrong, and those that do always involve a body count."

Heh.

Both!

And Conviction didn't have Atwell smoking meth in her underwear.

We've gotten Artemis, Miss Martian and Kid Flash this season. We could go full Young Justice.

On Earth-19, cuffs are fifth base. It's standard.

Apparently Artemis is already ready to be a bow-wielding hero, because… reasons?

Way back when, I was trying to get an internship at a Hollywood studio, and the "test" was reading two scripts and doing coverage. I thought both scripts were terrible and said so in my coverage. Later I talked to the guy who got it, and he said that they wanted you to be able to spot the "good" script from the…

Usually because it's based on scripts that various execs "liked" for whatever reason. I can see a lot of execs would "like" this script because it would be hella cheap to produce.
