Dramatist, author, apostate newspaperman specializing in artisanal contempt and discerning maledicta. The claim that I am the angriest man in television is faint praise indeed; the second angriest is yelling at an agent because residual checks are late.
You kicked our ass the last time we came over there. Wouldn't bet against you.

I would almost expect this shitheel to reply, blandly, "No."
November 21, 2025 at 8:17 PM
Yeah cool, was typing fast. My brother is 78 and born in '46, but you're right December birthday. Also, the teacher told me there would be no hard math.

But the same logic applies regardless.

All due respect is, de facto, no respect whatsoever. But safely.

Now fuggedaboudit an' carpe the fuckin' diem, before i veni vedi vici yer ass.

Heh.

To be fair, politically, the term is accurate. What works in NYC politically is applicable to only a handful of other places in this country. Regrettably.

The Gulf of Insecure Whitemen as it were.

No, the sir, as preface, is what inoculates you against being the same kind of namecalling, unprofessional, infantile shitheel. It is the lubricant that allows the shiv to slide cleanly between the ribs.
November 21, 2025 at 7:06 PM
That's how you learn the cool words.
November 21, 2025 at 7:04 PM
Not the hardcore. They are indeed contained within the basket of deplorable. But can you shave off 5-15% of his base as people become exhausted by the lies and infantilism? Looking at the last month of polls, I think that is happening. His economic policies are also doing that business.
November 21, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Sorry, too. I am simply saying if the reporter keeps cool enough not to trade insults, but instead highlight the unprofessional and unpresidential behavior, the shiv goes between the same ribs and only Trump is name-calling trash.
November 21, 2025 at 6:50 PM
More fun, sure. And I'd be tempted sorely. But with dispassion and professionalism, you stick the shiv between the same set of ribs and you leave him hanging as the only name-calling shitheel.
November 21, 2025 at 6:49 PM
I don't think the reply I offered sidesteps a fucking thing.
November 21, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Same scam, for sure.

I was found not guilty by the judge.

Story weeks prior about he and other Western District drug officers were being probed for having manufactured an informant that they then paid. Maybe I then failed to use my left turn signal at Mount and Baltimore Streets, maybe not.
November 21, 2025 at 6:18 PM
The judge in Baltimore's westside district court disagreed.
November 21, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Welcome to journalism.
November 21, 2025 at 6:13 PM
The professionalism inoculates. And the shiv still goes between the same two ribs just as deep.
November 21, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Again. Dispassion and you get to still claim pure professionalism. And the shiv still goes between the same two ribs.
