a man in a suit and tie is holding a pot and spoon Alt: Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal in a dark, sharp suit, whisking what might be eggs. Who knows what he plans to serve it with.

Superbly written, beautifully staged, masterfully acted. All of that.

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

… This is how I learn Boreanaz is doing Rockford.

Let's call this policy what this is.

It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs.
