  1. they didn't show the robbie and freddy meeting (besides them sitting down). that was intentional. all we heard is that freddy demanded "double" what the original deal was supposed to be. also you don't need to spoil your responses on a non-netflix show/episode that's already aired. if you come in this thread after an episode has aired, you deserve what you get.
  2. i was hoping that robbie's plan was to have a bunch of feds and a bunch of dark hearts meet up at the cabin at the same time, while he hid safely someplace. not so much.
  3. guess we didn’t miss the phone switch because there was no phone switch. dj grassanova had it the whole time. how fortuitous.
  4. we’re squawking about specific healthcare policy and trying to counteract republican lies/talking points. keep it broad and consistent. call them what they are - liars. tell america we’re tired of the trolling and the gaslighting. trump is holding the country hostage and we don’t negotiate with terrorists. give a dictator an inch, blah blah just pick your metaphor.
  5. this isn’t that hard. have someone on the left send out the only messaging any dem should use across all platforms or in person. something like, “a year ago, americans voted in a bunch of dishonest and incompetent republicans who now control the house, the senate, and the presidency. you are seeing that dishonesty and incompetence in action. elections have consequences and we’re tired of being the fucking janitors every time the republicans make a mess. we will continue to use our limited power to keep you healthy and safe. that’s what we’re fighting for.” if the gop wants to let this country burn for a year, they’ll find out next nov.
  6. i didn't have any negronis but wtf happened during the drug setup/sting? the flyers phone switch escaped me but i guess makes sense now, but seems like it would get noticed (like someone mentioned). so they just changed the location of everything to something far away from the zillion cops waiting? also wasn't lizzie the one who said "he's a drug dealer just out of prison, you really think cliff trusted him?" that sounds like something the mole would say (even though they're definitely telegraphing it's plimpton). lastly, how has nobody in the dark hearts not put it together to look in robbie's general direction after, you know, they killed his brother? even after they sorted out that cliff was a garbage man, they never even brought it up. lastly part 2 - did the cops really think they would bring the kid to a drug deal? really?
  7. not to derail a small detail of this thread, because i agree wholeheartedly and look forward to hearing an earful from hank next time we talk, but i think "god bless america" started during the 7th inning stretch after 9/11 (typically played before "take me out to the ball game"). i have no idea how many teams did it, still do it, stopped doing it, whatever. i don't go to many mlb games anymore.
  8. cue the "worst simpsons movie so far..." memes.
  9. he seems fine to me.
  10. if she's blocking out the word "short", that's great accidental comedy.
  11. if someone asked him "what did you hate about what kimmel said about the charlie kirk assassination?" he would have no fucking idea what to say. there wasn't one 'controversial' thing said that got him in hot water, and none of the late night comics were making light of it.
  12. if it ends with trump in the hague, let’s do whatever we need to do.
  13. i would rather he suspend in 2026 than have "free and fair" elections only to find out that somehow the gop took 300+ seats.
  14. snl is back in 2 weeks. if history is any indication, they will pull no punches, and make the fcc come down and take the control room from their cold, dead hands. it's basically their only consistent belief over the past 50 years. john oliver was off last week but i believe will be back on sunday, and we already know he gives no fucks. he went full on attack on his own bosses for the dumb shit they would constantly do.
  15. whataboutism is their fucking religion.
  16. i think if enough of us write in "fascism" as our reason, we can get it onto the official options list.
  17. dear rolling stone, no shit.
  18. disney+ canceled. apologies to the 6 people using my acct.
  19. i've only recommended this book about 200x on this board, but if you have a chance, pick up "adventures in the screen trade" by william goldman. i've prob bought 5 copies because i kept lending it to people. goldman goes through all of his projects up to that point, which i believe was late 70's/early 80's, but the highlight (to me) was the chapter about all the president's men. he was dealing with redford the producer, along with woodward and bernstein - the writers and their book - along with bernstein's then girlfriend, nora ephron. it's very accessible, even to those who don't give a shit about the film business or the writing business, and gives a lot of fun side-stories and anecdotes about redford, newman, and other characters he came across in the 60's and 70's. everything he's written is good, but this is especially great.
  20. this was also well worth the time.
