Looks like you can make things seem pretty twisted when you pluck an 8 second clip with no context from a forum.

While I agree that's true, I was just sharing so people could hear his full message because it's worth listening to in its entirety.

His closing sentiment is especially right imo.

America cranking out the bangers lately.

How long until Danielle Smith invites the GDL as delegates to the leg?

This is the open scene of the series

The first character arc is basically the Grinch who stole Christmas, and Daniels is the Grinch. a few episodes in he grows a heart and becomes the embodiment of the Lincoln project before the Lincoln project existed.

The Newsroom was frequently way too cheesy and self-indulgent but it did have some great moments.

I'm afraid to ask you where you're getting this info from.

I mean, naked mentions of Pizzagate... it's either a troll job or Matata is completely, irredeemably detached from reality.

I actually think the latter. It would have to be an extremely committed troll job by now, to the point where the two options blend together into mutual insanity.

I'll defer to your great understanding of trolling.

Which is said with the greatest of reverence
