    ^ This, too.
    You are being extremely charitable. This isn't about someone doing their job a smidge better. This is about an entire institution failing the people who pay them, rely on them, and expect better.

    My dad is Air Force. He's got spider sense if I say anything that could be perceived as a slight against them anywhere. You're never too old for an ass whipping.

    I'm finally catching up on Homeland's sixth season and there's a part where Quinn is laying in bed, despondent, listening to some Alex Jones-style demagogue on the radio. Maddow uses the same vocal pacing, emphasis, and phrasing. Just because she's covering a topic I'm sympathetic toward doesn't change that, for example, my mother in-law just gobbles it up and repeats it like the gospel and gets worked up and gets her hopes up for no real reason. It's still reality TV-esque.



    I'm not trying to be rude here: You can't possibly believe that. The man knows 100% what he's doing. I can't tell you the road he's on, nor the destination, but his oratory style is deliberate. That has to be apparent, right? You and I listen to him speak, and John Oliver gets his rocks off having someone read it without inflection, and we cringe. But that shit is catnip to the intended audience. We are not that audience.
    Who is his audience? Sloth from the goonies?

    I wonder if people said that in Russia in regards to Lennon and Stalin.

    Basically. I mean, I only have the small sample size of some family members and people from high school, but the behavior is uniform so I'm comfortable with that.

  8. I would vote for Jeb's guac bowl before Marco. That dude is a lightweight affirmative action hire getting propped up his entire career. His wife is pretty hot at least.

  9. The way he walked directly in to the talking robot thing Trump laid down ahead of him was remarkable. “Look there he goes again!”

  10. So Trump tweets that Time Magazine called and told him they wanted him to be Person of the Year again, and that he turned it down. Then Time said that never happened, and that they don't even announce their pick until early December.

    The man is so childishly retarded.
