If you don’t love @CobraKaiSeries, I can’t be friends with you.
Also, aside from all the dudes from the 80s exchanging kicks, @HenggelerCourt is great in it, too. Just every role is so perfectly cast.
Just finished @CobraKaiSeries on @netflix. So, so, good.

I spent the entire last episode with either my hands over my mouth or WHOOPING loudly at the TV.

That end scene. That Kreese backstory. The Phil Collins 'air tonight' drums.

Perfection. I feel like a kid again.
Thank you to @jonhurwitz, @McSchlossberg, and @healdrules for making such a brilliant show, @CobraKaiSeries, thank you to @WilliamZabka, @ralphmacchio, @HenggelerCourt and co for delivering such superb performances. I proper feel like a kid again and what a great start to 2020.
Season 3 of @CobraKaiSeries without doubt the best yet. Can’t air for season 4. This show just gets better and better.
*wait not air 🤦🏽‍♂️

I have to say that I’m only two episodes into the new season of @CobraKaiSeries but @WilliamZabka is, once again, hilarious. Forget the karate, his comedic timing is superb.
The John Kreese backstory is good, too
Watching Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso in the mechanic’s properly brought back memories of my childhood in the 80s. So soon after the Mandalorian finale, I feel utterly nostalgic and utterly spoiled. :-)

This year one of the only silver linings of the awful pandemic and lockdowns is that I finally got time to bingewatch a bunch of TV shows I should have watched before, lol.
Top of the list:
1) Ozark
2) Battlestar Galactica
3) Star Trek: Discovery
4) The Boys
5) Madam Secretary
Weird thing about binge watching multiple seasons of a single show in a couple of weeks, sometimes less than a week, is that you become obsessed with a bunch of characters that you were supposed to spend years getting to know & then you have to say farewell to them so quickly (!)
Actually I caught up on so much telly in 2020 that I forgot I also binged and loved @CobraKaiSeries and also liked Star Trek: Picard. And Designated Survivor and The Good Fight.

"It was as if my very presence in the White House had triggered a deep-seated panic, a sense that the natural order had been disrupted...For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, [DJT] promised an elixir for their racial anxiety"

"Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the [GOP] - xenophobia, anti intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward Black and brown folks - were finding their way to center stage."

Obama is right to highlight #racialresentment over #economicanxiety when it comes to the GOP's messaging. He's also right to highlight the role of Palin, and of course by extension the hallowed John McCain!, in the run-up to Trump, as I have argued here:

It’s not often that you wake up to this 👀 Image
In case you’re wondering, I am at my naturalization ceremony. I’m becoming a U.S. citizen this morning, a dual U.S./UK national. It’s a socially-distanced ceremony but no welcome video from Trump @kumailn, just a letter. Image
Here’s the ‘fellow American’ welcome letter from Trump that I got. It’s not bad, by his standards. But he obviously didn’t write it - not just because of the pro-immigrant sentiment but also...there are no typos or spelling errors in it. I’m so used to his random Capitalizations. Image

Nice pivot from Supreme Court to Affordable Care Act from Biden right at the outset.

Good.
Amy Coney Barrett is anti ACA, says Biden. Boom. Pre-existing conditions. Boom. Insurance companies. Boom.

So far, so good.
"We're not elected for three years," says Trump, from the party that insisted Obama was only elected for three years, when it came to the Supreme Court.

It’s pretty simple. He says ‘we’re protecting pre existing conditions’ and Biden says ‘that’s a lie. You’re in court trying to get rid of them.’ Trump tries to change the subject and ramble and Biden says again ‘Aren’t you ashamed that you’re in court trying to get rid of them?’
People think Trump has some sort of magical power to lie, but the reality is that he gets away with it because we - politicians, the media, the public - let him get away with it. Be persistent. Be direct. Be blunt. Bring receipts. Don’t move on. Trump crumbles under pressure.
Since much of the media failed to do it for the past 4 years, Biden shouldn’t be afraid to call out lies as lies on Tuesday night. Say it again & again ‘Thats a lie Mr President. You’re lying to the American people again.’ And maybe even the occasional ‘Do you have no shame?’
