I haven’t seen The Upside, though pairing Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston is not quite as much an odd couple pairing as they seem to think. They’re both actors who like to go big, so I can only imagine that their interplay is exhausting. It’s funny though because I was wondering whatever happened to that remake of The Intouchables?that I’d heard of, and then it came out in the august filmgoing month of “Fuck You, It’s January” (thanks to Red Letter Media for that!), a terrible sign. Unsurprising considering that the original film is, well, awful.
Man do I wish this punk would go away, but not only does Howard Schultz have a terrible plan, he’s not even doing it right! Even if you buy that there’s some combination of #NeverTrumpers and moderate, consensus-obsessed Democrats to win a 3-way race, the way you win them is with civility. Always be positive. Talk about people of goodwill on both sides, how the founding fathers hated partisanship, how you want to sign bills sponsored by both Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren. That sort of thing. And always try to be in the conversation without it seeming forced, with a little trace of humility, as if you’re not sure you belong there. That’s the sort of thing that those sorts of folks like to see.
The Howard Schultz candidacy went from existential threat to total farce in about one day. Hilarious. Also, it’s pretty clear that the only reason he wants to run is that he’s mad that some Democrats don’t want to give away the store to people like him anymore. Pretty transparent when it’s single payer and not, say, kiddie concentration camps that get your dander up.
More of this, please. The inescapable fact of California’s self-created housing calamity is that any effective solution is going to involve telling rich suburbanites to take a leap, and what Newsom is doing on the issue so far is pretty much that, which is good. Let’s see the follow through though.
I typically avoid discussing the topics du jour?and given that today will almost certainly be the peak of Howard Schultz/Some Other White Guy 2020 (maybe Kasich!), I kind of feel that there are a lot of takes out there already. But I have some thoughts and here they are:
This is pretty much the exact sort of behavior that people are talking about with the whole “white male power structure” critique. “My good friend Fred Upton” who, incidentally, isn’t good at all. Some of us remember when he flip-flopped on climate change so that he could head the Energy and Commerce Committee, and simply by being a member of the Republican Party in a competitive district he quite literally empowered the Trump Administration’s war on reproductive rights, the environment, public education, et al. But he has a good position on one non-politicized issue so he’s a great guy! Also Trump isn’t the real Republican Party, as I’m sure that Biden has said before (really no need to google that to find a quote). The real disgrace in the story about Anita Hill was that intra-white guy chumminess—particularly on Biden’s part—led to a wholly avoidable tragedy and it’s obvious that the man didn’t learn a fucking thing from that situation. Gonna be hilarious when he tries to get his side of that story out there.
Not sure what else the big MSM climb down on the MAGA kids is supposed to say. Nothing to worry about because THE CONTEXT says something or other. Their most disgraceful performance since last week.
Literally the only thing Theresa May cares about is keeping the nationalist right inside of her party. This is often expressed as “avoiding a party split” but it means the same thing. Since those people want no deal, that’s what is going to wind up happening to avoid a split. She’s wasting everybody’s time with her middle option but she’s been in over her head since day one, so why stop now? That she genuinely seems to think it has a future shows how delusional she is. Nobody wants to eat their vegetables, they want either zero-calorie ice cream or they’re not hungry!
