Down these mean skeets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.
Hypothetically, a reporter would need to clear it first with his or her employer, which news outlet would have to be willing to have its White House access revoked, but it would take just one to say, “Mr. President, here are my press credentials. Go fuck yourself” to spark an “I am Spartacus” scene.
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Hallmark can do 30 more of these, and I for one can't wait to see two Jets fans meet cute just as they're both about to jump off the George Washington Bridge.

Literally only twice since he quit Meet the Press one of the Royal You has made a conscious effort to remind me that both-sidesing map fucker Chuck Todd still exists somewhere out there in the ether, opining to no one in particular.
Let's try to get that number down to zero. OK, kids?
Good talk.

The media fell in love with Trump — the most mendacious person in the world — because he gave them “interesting stories” and now they’re doing the same with her for the exact same reason

I just heard a co-worker say to another co-worker “I don’t seem to be able to know” which is the longest walk to “I don’t know” I’ve ever heard.
I’m astonished I didn’t hear Speaker Mike Johnson say it first.

Whether you love or hate Bill Clinton, you have to concede that, in the midst of a lot of lurid speculation and salacious allegations, he understands how and when to lie low and shut the fuck up.

Pretty sure that if you conducted a nationwide poll, you could get at least 7 out of 10 atheists to say this is reprehensible bullshit and heads should roll for it.

Shout-out to those whimsical little imps WATER MAIN BREAKS, today's having timed itself to the precise moment in my shower when I was covered from neck to nethers in lather, leaving me at the mercy of the slow, pressureless trickle of at most a drinking glass's worth of water, like a ticking clock.

I have a power ranking of plausible endings to this story — admittedly rooted in hopes and dreams but also insights into human nature, for want of a better term. Some are more satisfying than others. Some are making a late surge as in the pennant races of old.

You can argue all day about what the *best* John Ford film is, but I believe this is his thesis statement as a visual artist. Every frame is perfectly composed. Invariably he and D.P. Joe MacDonald choose the ideal camera placement, then don't screw with the shot.

Is this critic an employee of Amazon Prime’s owner diligently shitting on an AppleTV production, or did we just not watch the same thing? Because the two eps I watched felt neither stalled, constrained nor choked out. I found PLURIBUS fraught, harrowing, exhilarating, and deeply, darkly funny.
Review: “Pluribus,” the new Apple TV show by “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan, stalls under constraints that choke out the series’s dramatic possibilities.
Given enough time, the show will hopefully find the story that fits its mission.

Review | Vince Gilligan is brilliant. Rhea Seehorn is great. ‘Pluribus’ drags.
The “Breaking Bad” creator’s fascinating, original sci-fi premise stalls out under constraints that choke out most of the series’s dramatic possibilities.

Made it to page 84 before Jane Leavy’s copy editor failed her. It’s “Nuke” LaLoosh — two capital L’s and a nickname based on vocational predilection.
This is why IMDb exists, especially if you’ve never seen arguably the best baseball movie ever made (as Jane certainly has).
