Hopefully you were as incredibly smart as me and decided to skip the Democratic debate in Las Vegas and watch pro wrestling instead. All Elite Wrestling had perhaps its best episode of Dynamite yet this week, with Cody Rhodes returning home to Atlanta and doing his legendary father Dusty proud with a brutal, bloody cage match on the same grounds as the old, beloved Omni, the Wrestling Mecca of the South.
Oh wait, I just saw that clip of Warren just deadass destroying Bloomberg. That was more vicious than anything at AEW tonight.
This is how I process politics in the year 2020: I do literally anything else, anything that makes me feel good and takes my mind off the mess we’re living through today, and then catch up on the news by reading jokes on Twitter. And then sharing those Twitter jokes with whoever happens to click on whatever link brought you here right now. It’s a much healthier way to interact with this nonsense than watching cable news, and obviously beats the hell out of talk radio.
So take a few minutes from your daily routine and scroll through the totally fine and sometimes great jokes that brought me momentary distraction from the miserable truth of 21st century living. And go catch up on that AEW show, if you haven’t already seen it.
Listen, some pundits may say that it was unsporting for Elizabeth Warren to kick off this debate by ripping Mike Bloomberg’s arms off and using them to punch him in the dick, but i respectfully disagree
Warren made a huge strategic error by not demurring, expressing gratitude for even being allowed on the stage, hiding her face in shame, and ending every policy choice by saying “I dunno, maybe that’s stupid, don’t listen to me!”
Yes, hello. I would like to pay $500,000,000 to go on national television and have the biggest fuck-ups of my life dissected and magnified all while I sneer with utter contempt at all the poor watching me
Let’s just say i doubt it was difficult for Bloomberg to find comedy writers in NYC willing sell their souls to work for an ultra rich New York megalomaniac.
Chuck Todd would have blown off the debate in a second if his friends from home would finally let him play saxophone in their Bruce Springsteen cover band.
I just hope right now, high atop Caesar’s Palace, Elizabeth is in a bathrobe watching “It’s Complicated” while enjoying a buttery Chardonnay with TWO ice cubes.
It’s incredible that Chuck Todd is a major figure in our political discourse. He has the vibe and the look of a Kinko’s manager who’s on Reddit for 13 hours every day.
