I hated The Godfather and believe whole-heartedly that she was the only redeeming quality to that entire film. It would have had zero emotional resonance with me if not for her role.

Love these guys. Absurdist humor is so necessary right now. Soviet style rebellion.

I am not a fan of Democrats at the moment, but there is a HUGE difference between the party that wants to see the government function and the party that does not and has essentially reverted to the church and the spoils system.

Oh my god. This is coming from an actual Christian right that seeks to take over the country. Maximum cognitive dissonance.

The entire program is branding and selling. Both Naomi Kline and Matt Taibbi brought the subject up after 2016. This is predictable, but Dems should also understand that advertising is part of politics by now. Every person hired from Build Back Better should have known who gave them that job.

So, "We sent in not politically correct military" = 'My private, thoroughly unvetted and untrained personal army I recruited at rodeos'?

There is no way Pritzker isn't going to respond to this. Let's hope he uses humor because Trump has such thin skin.

Anyone ever see the documentary 'Hammer and Tickle'? This would be it!

I can't remember which congressperson admitted (s)he didn't bother hiring policy aids and only hired communications aids.

Alright. At least I wasn't the only one who felt this way about the statement. It's insane.

Yes. Probably Leo DiCaprio, because he is a muse. That is what it takes to be a movie star. Otherwise, one is interchangeable.

I actually never knew they adapted this book (one of my faves) into a musical. Yikes.

It's kinda sweet, actually. Kudos Portland. And where are they getting these costumes?

"I'm not on vacation. Go to my social media pages," is truly where this country's politics are right now.

Yes, I appreciate I too am on social media, but it is nevertheless disheartening to conflate policy work and political activity with media communications.

We need so much more of this! Humor gets under these people's skin because they don't know how to respond to anything other than victimization and vindictiveness.

He is only one of four states held by Republican governors who didn't send troops. The others are from the Northeast, which has a very different political culture.

It's hard to say this in Oklahoma. So, I give credit where it is due (even if I likely don't agree with him on anything else).

Next National Governors Association meeting is going to be toxic.

Also, isn't this international waters? Perhaps I am mistaken, but the whole world should be offended, technically.

There have been missing bodies from cruise ships that have elicited more outrage.

"As a Republican," you knew what you were signing up for.

What's it been? Since 2012 when GOP has campaigned against Obamacare? It's been over 13 years. That is an exceptionally slow learning curve.

You signed up for this with your vote and ingrained party identification.

Witness the circular logic of judges weighing in on protests against agents that should not be where they are, so that more agents can keep coming to where they should not be, thus exacerbating further protest.
