Interesting username/post combo.  But for real, the only way to deal with those fake moral outragers is to look them dead in the face and tell them to shut the gently caress up. Make sure to enunciate every word so there's no confusion.

The previous episode with Pareene handled the Russia stuff better IMO. It's a story that they admittedly haven't followed a whole lot, so trying to have an in-depth discussion on it isn't going to be very interesting.

Plus Parenne was the only one of the trio that didn't have a shitfit about "Brookyln Leftists" , so they managed to luck out on the only one whose "victory lap" was actually worth a drat.

He's been having a week-long meltdown about Russiagate that kinda morphed from criticizing 'the media' to criticizing 'Brooklyn leftist hipster journalists' and it became clear that the guy is mostly just sad that these people aren't his friends and don't respect him. For him to spend all this time complaining about Brooklyn hipsters to then go on Red Scare is just the cherry on top.

Tracey’s appearance on a red Scare was fine and similar to the Chapo coverage. It sounds like Tracey has been skeptical since the start, and is now at least somewhat vindicated. As usual w Red Scare, it’s mostly laughing at the bougie media class that’s perpetuated this story for their gain.

Michael Tracey is also a dickhead contrarian who interprets absolutely everything Trump and associates say or do in the most generous way possible while for some strange reason never feeling compelled to extend that same charity to anyone on the left.

Of course the report is going to make Trump look sleazy; he's already incredibly sleazy and the Democrats haven't done anything about it. But the Russiagate purveyors need the report to be a smoking gun, and of course it isn't.

Russiagate was the dumbest and worst possible option to go after Trump on but it was also the only one the Democrats would be willing to go after since everything else would set a precedent like "You shouldn't launder money, rape or set up phony universities and expect to become president." and I imagine a lot of the people who fund them find that objectionable.

It's also the same thing they pointed out about Garland, in the accepting-Republican-frame way, i.e. "surely they'll have to care about this, otherwise they will be revealed as hypocrites!". Conservatives are supposed to be the ones freaked out about Russia etc.

My main issue was always that it was a very close election so yeah maybe it (or 1000 other things you could choose to highlight instead) "caused" Hilary to lose, but I still couldn't care about inflammatory facebook posts or whatever since Real Americans made thousands of those on their own.

I don't think it's "conspire" like in a spy novel. It's more like "this dumb rear end in a top hat could make a mess for people I don't like, so might as well act nice towards him".

Yeah, like it's virtually certain Trump has some kind of shady property deals with some Russian types, but it's highly unlikely to be anything that qualifies as impeachably criminal. That is, not more than the many other more flagrantly impeachable thinga pointed out on the most recent episode, I.e. Trump flat out refusing to divest his business interests

It’s all bullshit anyway to be concentrating on swaying people who vote. Get all the motherfuckers who didn’t vote in the last presidential election. There are a ton of them! A lot of them are probably real left, considering that right wingers and centrists are represented just fine in American politics. Also none of this would have been an issue of Hillary had campaigned in loving swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan.

I agree with Will regarding the film's attempt to awkwardly land in the middle of abstract and explicit mechanics. However the film wholly rejects that dumbass fan theory in its text.

i somewhat disagree with matt and will because it being an abandoned government experiment is pretty important but how the information was conveyed was a tad awkward (likely peele didn't think the audience would get it otherwise) but yeah the problem with that theory is there's nothing in the film to support it. and its inclusion would make the film weaker.

My totally stupid, unnecessary, and tidy little head cannon is that the failed and subsequently long-abandoned attempt to create a two-way control mechanism of soul-sharing puppet/human pairs is what eventually lead to the realization and perfection of the Coagula Procedure in Get Out.

I just listened to the episode about the horrible, horrible "by and for the troops" zombie "comedy" Range 15. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and under reception it only said that there were no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Figuring that may have changed and no one bothered to update it in two years, I went over there, and saw that there were still zero critical reviews, but an 85% audience score.
