Firm Gentle Reminder: Take a deep breath before reacting to rage bait. It's a midterm year. This place is going to swarm with disinfo, rage bait, chaos agents and much more we may not have imagined before. But we've been through this over and over. Do not react immediately. Vet, confirm, deep breath

If you were around in 1989 and are aware that the very first DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince single was NOT Parents Just Don't Understand, you already know the answer to this question, and also probably believe that Will can still rap circles around many of his contemporaries...
No funny shit, but do y’all fr think Will Smith is a good rapper? Like, not that he’s made great music, but that he has high level rapping ability?

The ESPN story on the palace intrigue regarding the Buss family and the sale of the Lakers to Mark Walter just makes me adamant that the HBO show Winning Time should not have been canceled... there's at least 4 more seasons, including this bit on the sale and Jeanie apparently turning heel...

Will, my good dipshit, Democrats have tried to impeach Trump no fewer than three times during the last year, Republicans have blocked it *every time*.
What these guys don’t understand is that a single vote seven years ago doesn’t count. When you’re up against fascism you throw yourself into the gears over and over until something works or you’re ground to pieces. “Well I tried, back to normal” - you’re of a kind with every collaborator in history

Then call your reps, Will, they're the ones who elect them! Not us!
And I don't understand why there's such an eager need to replace them both while they have absolutely zero power.
You could make AOC the House Minority Leader and nothing would change.

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

1. Mayo is the single most disgusting concoction ever devised. It serves no purpose. Sorry your food is dry, make it better next time. Even a sandwich cut with a knife that had once had mayo on it is instantly ruined
