Watched the #Barry season finale last night. Bill Hader’s transition from side-splitting comedy to powerful drama is right up there with Bob Odenkirk’s.
Season 3 was a little hit-and-miss for me, mainly because of the episodes where Barry Berkman was too cartoonishly crazy. To me, the series is strongest when Barry is most grounded in reality & all of the crazy shit is going on around him.

#Barry
Yes, Barry is very disturbed, maybe even broken. But the show is best when his attitude is “I don’t want to be doing this, but it’s the only thing I’m good at”

#Barry
Maybe it’s a stretch to call BARRY a “comedy”. But Barry trying to comfort Sally with his deranged psyop suggestions (“Maybe I could break into her house, watch her while she sleeps & rearrange the furniture…?”) was the funniest thing I’ve seen on TV in years.

Unpopular opinion: There will not be a single definitive version of “History” in the future washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
In the future, approximately 70% of History will dictate that “Trump Led an Insurrection Because He Refused to Admit He Lost”, and 30% of History will dicate that “Trump Knew the Election Was Stolen & the Deep State Framed His Committed Patriots Who Were Trying to Stop the Steal”
Does anybody seriously think we’re going back to ONE version of history?

How would that even happen?

Even if all of the scholars believe the same thing… what’s gonna happen when their version of history is actually taught?

His grievances against The Mainstream Media devoured his brain so he backed into Trumpism by default
Bill Maher isn’t quite as far gone as Taibbi but you can substitute “Woke Mob” for “Mainstream Media” and see that he’s pretty much heading in the same direction
As absurd as “digging in your heels to spite the liberals” would be as a reason to embrace the current MAGA culture war, it is probably a far more common explanation for Trump’s support than many of us have likely considered

The only purpose of Fox News’s content is to help the Republican Party.

If the January 6th hearings succeed, many Republicans will suffer consequences.

Therefore, Fox News refuses to show their viewers the January 6th hearings.
Donald Trump is undeniably pro-insurrection.

Fox News supports Donald Trump; therefore, Fox News is pro-insurrection.

The Republican Party watches Fox News and supports Donald Trump; therefore, the Republican Party is pro-insurrection.
Our Congressional hearings, reviews, and committees have no oversight or authority that is independent of partisan ideology. If an entire political party is pro-insurrection, there will never be any consequences for insurrection as long as this same party has a seat at the table.

The purpose of the January 6th hearing must be: “Will it directly lead to legal consequences for Donald Trump?”

The purpose of the January 6th hearing cannot be: “Will it persuade mainstream Republicans to stop supporting Trump?”

If it’s the second option, it’s a waste of time.
The second option just returns us to “CHANGE MY MIND” territory. The metric of success cannot be Do Republicans Think What Trump Did Was Okay?

Their answer will always be the same. They are not arbiters of any kind of truth or fairness, and we cannot treat them as such.
YOU CAN’T WAGE A BATTLE FOR THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE COUNTRY WHEN AN ENTIRE POLITICAL PARTY HAS VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED THE USE OF BOTH

I don’t care if anyone changes their mind. I agree; that can’t and won’t happen. I want to see justice.
The “won’t” is so consistent that it is functionally equivalent to “can’t”. Facts CAN’T change the minds of the MAGA brainwashed, because facts didn’t matter to them in the first place.
MAGA is a cult. What little they hear from the trial will be sliced, diced, reprocessed and recontextualized to fit their narrative of The Leftist Deep State Democrat Lamestream Media Is Once Again Out to Get Trump Because They Couldn’t Beat Him in a Fair Fight.
