i think it’s a price worth paying but if our politicians keep cussing like this it’s not going to be cool anymore. we can largely offset the impact of this by green-lighting and fast-tracking development of new cuss words

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.
