For some reason or other, "Veep" is going viral. The Hollywood Reporter spoke to David Mandel, who took over from Armando Iannucci as showrunner in season 5, about whether politics is suddenly fun again, how much Selina Meyer hated other women, and that season 2 moment where Meyer discovers the president won't run for a second term.

"...His childish nickname for her is 'laughing Kamala' because she feels joy, and joy is something he has never experienced and doesn’t understand.

So I'm already seeing that the Republican attack strategy on Kamala Harris is that she is a slut who has no kids. Apparently, both the sluttiness AND the childlessness disqualify her from being the big cheese. I even saw one Rep. woman who said that Harris's sexual history should be discussed.
Really?
OK. Then let's do the Orange Rapist's sexual history.
NEVER, EVER TRUMP!

Everyone who voted for Biden already voted for Harris to succeed him. This muttering about a coronation is the new “but her emails”: a fake issue that marches along to a drumbeat of media coverage and partisan messaging.

What does Trump's nostalgic campaign really mean?
Nostalgia is not merely about the past four years or even the Reagan-era 1980s – it harks back to an era before civil rights and women's rights.
