  1. just have some press conferences and get a friendly journo to ask if any of his recent behavior warrants impeachment, and have reps/senators all say, "man, i hope not, we want to keep him right where he is". a "please don't impeach him, we want him to stay" messaging campaign by dems would make him short circuit.
  2. the guy’s got good hooks. also…he’s reading.
  3. just overlapping subjects/comedy.
  4. ok, so in regards to megyn kelly, let's game this out. it sounds like her issue is one of semantics. the term "pedophile" should be reserved, in her opinion, to people with a vile sickness which makes them attracted to literal children (pre-teens or younger), correct? whereas people who are attracted to "younger looking girls" are not "pedophiles" by the/her definition of the term. they're just statutory rapists/serial rapists/sex-traffickers/and so forth (yay?). so now for the gaming this out part. i admit i am not super familiar with the nuances of these two groups. i worked for a scumbag who liked young, college-aged girls, but as i told a grand jury - he's a scumbag who did shitty things, but most of them were legal. the reason the underage case against joe ultimately failed was because they couldn't make the rico case that under-18 girls-on-camera was part of a concerted effort to do that. all evidence pointed the other direction, of sloppy oversight. it was the tax evasion and lawsuits that got him in hot water (and prison). this situation seemed purposely illegal in so so many ways, not a "she told me she was 18" scenario we joke about. so if we're saying that pedophiles - real pedophiles - have an actual chemically imbalanced sickness that they cannot control, and that this is not that. doesn't this, and hear me out, seem much much much worse? epstein (and possibly trump and certainly dozens of others) absolutely could control themselves, did not have any mental/clinical condition, and chose to do it anyway, forcefully and repeatedly, knowing it was not only sick and wrong, but totally illegal, punished by decades in prison for good reason. if we're just talking here, i could make the case that megyn kelly's argument actually makes it worse. if the argument is that these men were not 'sick', but just rich and powerful and knowing they could get away with anything they wanted, that makes them far worse than someone who should locked away in some sort of facility, something you may see in an svu episode or more likely a dark, british crime series (only 4 episodes), and possibly be chemically castrated or studied or whatever the fuck. from what we know about epstein and maxwell and any of the other shitbags on these lists and included in these emails, they should be locked under the fucking jail, and anyone who was complicit should have to answer for it as well. so thanks, megyn, for some clarity on the subject. *for the purpose of messaging, i agree that using the word "pedophile" is stronger and should absolutely be used in any type of political attack. there's an important midterm a year away, and hanging "pedophile protector" around any congressman or senator should absolutely be something that happens and is the only way they pay for this, since presumably trump cannot run again. using the term "rapist" or even "statutory rapist" is too confusing and ignores the ages of these girls. there are also people who love to conflate all of trump's rape charges/accusations with clinton's sordid history with women, and you absolutely know that's what would come next. this was merely an exercise in analyzing what she could possibly have meant, and as pointed out, where and when this trial balloon will pop.
  5. top 3 original series? larry sanders, the wire, veep. top limited series? band of brothers. top docuseries? hard knocks. top news/variety program? last week tonight.

  7. let's hit the meadowlands racetrack on the way home...
  8. how do we know they’re hungry? trump said they’re full.
  9. if you're at bur, guy's highball lounge has a great bourbon selection.
  10. you're thinking of the great muppet caper. understandable, as that movie is also strong. but the muppets take manhattan is a musical and it is fucking awesome. the songs have good hooks.
  11. the muppets take manhattan was is a cinematic masterpiece. i don't need anything more.
  12. good to see she got a new job. it's rough out there.
