One thing I took away from today’s SLOW HORSES panel: Christopher Chung, who plays unappealing dork Roddy Ho, would be a completely workable (unironic) James Bond, and I mean that.

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Chief Justice Roberts should be defending the judiciary with this zeal. Leaving the work to a judge whose son was killed is a dereliction.

Why not just ask people for permission?

Oh what’s that? You don’t think enough people would consent? So you’re just going to steal their livelihoods to get rich and hope they never notice?

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
