I would assume they are stupid if they think giving anybody money without a contract would control who they vote for.

Candace Owens -- the Clarence Thomas of Harriet Tubmans -- ...

I might go so far as to call her the Herman Cain of Sojourner Truths.

I am deeply offended by the mere notion that I could be bought. I am, however, available for rent at very reasonable rates.

Perhaps if you hadn't used that word "public", it might have worked.

I still don't see Biden can be so popular in South Carolina. He's not Barack Obama.

I'm not talking about his guaranteed basic income plan. I'm talking about a contest his campaign is running where they would pick a name of a donor, and give the winner money.

Bob_piper provided a useful answer to my question: the Yang campaign isn't purporting to be a charity, and tax-exempt charities have to vet their distributions.

When Drumpf gives people cash, there's usually an NDA involved.

How does that line from the Innocent Bystanders' Survival Guide go...?

"If the villain claims that he's really a good guy and he just wants to help people, throw a big party, and give away money, don't go. Not even if he's playing Prince's music. Especially not if he's playing Prince's music."

Can the white developers look like Jared and Ivanka, and can they get their comeuppance when they're exposed as two-bit grifters by the sassy black Urban Musical Conservatory Admissions Director (UMCAD), and they ultimately end up in prison? Then there's a big dance number, and roll credits?

This is like in The Dark Knight Returns, Miller's comic about an aging Batman deciding to don the cape and cowl once more rather than rot away in stately Wayne Manor. The Joker comes out of a years-long catatonic state and goes on the "David Endocrine" show (a David Letterman expy) where he announces that he's "going to kill everyone in this room."

Now me, this is the point where I go "Okay, we're leaving." Because when the biggest mass murderer in history (who doesn't run his own country) says he's going to kill everyone in the room, I believe the prudent thing is not to be in the damn room. Apparently I would be an anomaly in Miller's universe, as there's not an empty chair in the room full of corpses that Joker leaves behind.

Honestly? I'm casting it in my mind already. I'm just saying that Michael B. Jordan and Yara Shahidi is the romcom we need right now.
