It's an empty statement, anyway. We've all never been closer to absolutely every possible thing in the future.

And too little taste. Even the reviewer's "non-keyboard nerd" friends and family found that that massive gray brick "looks nice"?

Might very well trigger the greatest religious revival of all time.

I fail to see what's complicated about that person. She is a cartoon-level cliche of a Trump supporter, including pathetic delusions (Trump loves her!Musk talks to her on the phone!), gross selfishness (she doesn't care because it doesn't affect her!), and racism (Obama is a muslim!).

I think it's a "Manly men who are manly don't know nothing about that musical theater shit" joke. He is basically insulting Trump lol.

But you have to be rather naive to believe that "Law and Order" was ever about law or order.

Not self promoting, not promoting yourself, but self promoting yourself! It's doubly shameful!

OMG. That sun thing. It doesn't even rise to the level of weed-fueled college dorm bull session.

The Titanic was partially successful at crossing the Atlantic. The Hindenburg was partially successful at docking.

Can be both, I think: he sees the money has his way to acceptance. The more of the former he has, the closer to the latter he thinks he is.

There is a third option: Apple gives Trump a bunch of money and the tariff goes away. I know which one I'm betting on.

Sarah Palin? I've always thought it was meant to be Hillary Clinton. Palin makes the thing more palatable, tbh.

Why not? Odds are, the worse it gets for them, the more they'll vote for him and other maga types.

Concur, but unironically. I mean, wouldn't you want him to leave you the f. alone once you've fulfilled the main part of your contract?

I don't know. They *are* highly respected, but are they really that big?

Maybe she decided to imitate Jill Biden and go back to her old job: has someone checked with the DC brothels?

The NYT would have a whole series about it, including heartland diner interviews, all on page 1.

I know this is fake because he wouldn't have said "probably".

And pretty much the entire Republican Party plus a few Supreme Court justices. It's crowded in there.

Yeah! Everyone's getting a Rolls Royce (Bentleys also available)!

And those laws need to include effective enforcement mechanisms and actually achievable standards for conviction based on actions, not on unprovable and always plausibly deniable intent.

Maybe, but all they care about, and rationally so, is primaries. What's the evidence that the rabid base that decides those is going to abandon Trump and Trumpism?

Nobody! I'm so old, I remember when right-wingers mocked Pauline Kael for saying she didn't know anyone who voted for Nixon...

Congressional Republicans passed on neutralizing Trump after Jan 6, when he was at his most vulnerable, his presidency was over anyway, and they were as far from the next election as can be. So, I'm not holding my breath. As for the Supreme Court...

Or the baby had freakishly big feet and the shoes didn't fit. I guess it's still a little sad, though.

I see it as adolescent posturing. Lots of people on line seem to have the intellectual and emotional maturity of a 15-year old, whatever their actual chronological age.

Also Wagner? Some of the greatest music ever written, and we all know what he was. But when you have Sonic the Hedgehog in your list, Tristan's probably a little too advanced.

More basically though, describing as "right-wing" anything made before political right and left were a thing is ridiculous. Also, cities aren't works of art.

I hope the worst doesn't come to pass, but if it does, it's going to be mighty hard to feel sorry for those folks when they're carted off to concentration camp.

Can Harvard do/is Harvard doing anything to stop that, since she worked for them? They certainly have the means.

That and the episode where she comes home to the mannequin family. I'm apparently one of the few people who liked Season 1 more than the others, but these episodes did stand out.

In their minds, I'm sure they rationalize it as acting for the good of the organization. It's easier than admitting they're just glorified serfs in awe of power.

If there is one thing Trump's been useful for, it's revealing the abject cowardice of the American elites.

Well, she did say the magic words. "I don't recall." Memory loss is a crime, now?
