First Jewish Speaker of the House, what he’s been working towards his whole life, everything he wanted-wants, still wants, right? It’s not like-it’s not like Barack didn’t know, it’s not like everyone hasn’t suspected this was always the way it was going to all go down.

FUCK YOU MY HEART IS BREAKING LIKE A BREAKING THING. ALRIGHT I LOVE YOU BYE.

He moves his hand because Barry might just be feeling cracked out enough right now to lick his palm.

Puppies. He’s leader of the free world and we’re talking about puppies and I can’t even mock him because I’m glad we’re talking about puppies, talking about puppies is the first non-awkward conversation we’ve had in weeks and how fucked up is that?

“I can just see it: Rahm, don’t bite the reporters! Rahm, don’t growl at the interns! Rahm, don’t piss on the Minority Leader’s shoes!”

Michelle just shakes her head.

“Except for maybe yelling about not crapping on the South Lawn, this would change the ordinary day to day activities how?”

when Zeke breaks the news to him, voice so clipped and certain, Rahm really wishes his brother had become an accountant.

That was amazing. The spot-on characterization and the way you presented Rahm and Barack's relationship with all the nuances and subtleties that make it so, so incredibly human and poignant and moving. I... may actually be crying a little right now. Beautifully done.
