Reality TV created a doorway to idiocy-as-claim-to-fame. Trump held open that door and gilded it. Now people like the #YallQaeda are walking through it.

Hope you’re doing better now. My sympathies on being able to very readily recognize what he’s doing. :(

They could placate the “Star Wars deserves important awards” AND the “POC are not represented nearly enough” contingents in one go by having John Boyega win Best Supporting Actor.

The relevance of the Oscars appears to be matched by the relevance of their host. He should get David Spade and the corpse of Chris Farley to join him.

This sort of nonsense is part of why I just can’t back Hillary. Years of Yet Another Clinton would drive me batty. She’s just too hated, with too much of a well-organized machine against her.

I’m not sure she realizes the irreparable harm of her actions.

Have to wonder what’d happen if you aimed some of the “stfu and go make me a sammich” contingent of white male republicans at the white female republicans. Is there a way to get some of these people to cancel each other out?
