It is the episode where Trump struggles to use the phone mashed up with the VEEP closing credits.
That's awesome.
That is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s spot on.

It's a tough day for Trump supporters, I guess. Apparently some of them are saying their fee fees are hurt after a Nazi was portrayed on the season finale of The Preacher wearing a MAGA hat. Totally random, right?

Not to feed or anything, but there was a pretty big stink/defense of one presidential candidate who didn't know to type or much use her own e-mail and had to use multiple blackberries so she could use different email accounts and this was understandable as she has a staff and never was part of this technology when she was younger.
Truth be told, I wasn't too happy the defense then either. It seems to me a certain first hand understanding of the tech world we are in to today needs to be had by leaders of today, much less by anyone who would have any sort of empathy with the majority of the 350,000,000 people they are there to represent and execute laws for.

The "technology" is older than he is.
This is also a response for LM, although I don't really care much about whatever it is he's talking about, because laughing at a funny clip is exactly like defending someone from insane allegations.

Really? He comes across as a pretentious creep. I would take Neil deGrasse Tyson.

I’ve heard plenty of stories about NDT being a pretentious creep, too.
I’d go with Beakman. He’s used to working with rats.

I usually soak up anything I can about Neil deGrasse Tyson (assuming that's who "NDT" is) because I like his story and his love of science. I can get past pretentious because, well, he sees the universe differently than 99.9% of the rest of us and I'm okay with that. What has he been a creep about, though?

This is a hard one to process and I'm setting it on the shelf until some other kind of evidence comes along to either back or validate it. Not throwing it out, but putting it in a jar for observation.

I thought this was a joke you put on a protest sign, not a statement made by the President of the United States of America.
Trump: "They want to raid Medicare to pay for socialism."

Can we put that everywhere during the 2020 run and then if he wins, we are forced to one of two conclusions. 1) The election is corrupt. 2) The republic is stupid and it's over.
I haven't bought Nike in a long time as Saucony make my running shoes of choice, but I may have to given them another chance.

I don't know what Nike is good at any more, but they haven't been an option for me since my Air Jordans 30 years ago.
There's always a better shoe for the job, whatever the job.
As a media force of nature, that's a different question. Nike ad campaigns are always a huge deal.

One hilarious theme of Twitter Outrage!! this morning has been Trumpaloos declaring that they will never buy Nike again and showing off their newly bought Jordans and Converse sneakers.
Spoiler:
Nike owns and manufactures the Jordan and Converse brands.

There are some people getting into a tizzy about this, but I'm also reading that she is of Mexican and Jewish ancestry, so I'm not prepared to go the distance with the White Power assumption.
I believe this completely started as a joke. But now it has plausible deniability and the added bonus of causing a reaction. I also believe it's 100% intentional and absolutely a white-power reference, in context.
