Trump declaring his state of emergency to not be an emergency, as part of his announcement of the state of emergency, is unparalleled post-reality mind murder. I swear I’m one movie ticket away from being Sam Neill sitting in the theatre at the end of In the Mouth of Madness.
What would be worse.
Trump being your creation or you being trumps creation.

All any of these people ultimately discuss is celebrity gossip and Marvel movies.
I also recently discovered a sub-sect that explains what's wrong with "Ess-Jay-Dubyahs" through Dragonball Z analogies. I was only surprised for maybe half a minute.
Invariably, people try to analogize shit they have no grasp of with things they have too much of a grasp on, and of course the results are hot garbage. Happens all the time with nowadays American liberals with a.) the West Wing b.) Harry Potter and, if they're feeling particularly sassy c.) Game of Thrones (normally limited to when a female politician does literally anything and is compared to the dragon-having woman what speaks the weird language)

Ugh, I tried watching the first episode of this show and it was most self-congratulatory centrist democrat jerk-off I've ever seen. That is, until I tried watching the first episode of The Newsroom, where Captain Hindsight Newscaster had hot takes so painfully obviously colored by the fact that the script was written months or years after the news events they were covering happened.
Aaron Sorkin fucking sucks, and the only thing worse than his unrealistic mouth diarrhea scripts is his real life political commentary.

"Ess-Jay-Dubyahs"

Best take on Aaron Sorkin was from Megan Amram: yeah I like Sorkin... Sorkin my own dick

did youall see we're building a 14/88 wall?
"So, the actual wall, it's going to look like this, only much bigger?"
"I'm sorry, how do you mean?"
"The actual fence, it will be much bigger, right?"
There was a lot of... interesting lines of attack by Republicans today. Stuff that would have been laughed out of a high school mock trial. My favorite was the definitional sulk over what makes somebody a liar—which, apparently, is a binary condition triggered by any nonzero amount of lying. Real philosophy 101 office hours.

so do they have to prove that using social media to control your mob of pizza-hunters is a genuine threat now?
I HATE phones.

I had it on in the background while I took a nap. From the little bit I paid attention to the republicans arguments equate to “you’re a known liar, you admired to lying, maybe you’re lying... RIGHT NOW!!!” And then putting on airs of mock disgust, some dipshit from Florida trying to act like he is so above it all and the committee should be spending time trying to create jobs or help homeless vets.
Somebody being named Matthew Calamari didn't really move the needle for me because so many Italian city expat families grew up in the suburbs, like my dear friends Francisco Alfredo and Jeff Boyardee, but like, that clip of his brain WTC7ing on national TV during that taping of an Apprentice finale is probably the single best argument against perpetuation of American capitalism
