That Sounds Familiar: Jim For Stealth
Matt's Got The Knack:Instead of spending next year campaigning against a policy wonk like Elizabeth Warren or a populist like Bernie Sanders (it’s safe to say Trump would look forward to a run against verbal mistake-factory Joe Biden), he’ll be running against a parade of fourth-raters in and around the party who spent Trump’s presidency rejecting real-world concerns of voters and throwing political capital into a dead-end conspiracy theory.

Superbad: Everything Is Metaphor:
Police officer staged shooting to make it look like he was attacked, chief says:
"Our investigation has concluded that this entire event was a hoax, the radio call, the shots fired, the help call, lying injured on the tracks, the damage to the police car, all a hoax," Smith said during a news conference. Smith said they are seeking charges against Buchanan, who has been relieved of his duties.
"We will always be in relentless pursuit of our suspects," Smith said, according to CBS affiliate WIAT-TV. "Unfortunately this time, it's one of our own, and we will continue to do so."
Buchanan is on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation, AL.com reported. It's unclear whether Buchanan has an attorney who could comment.
Smith noted that the incident came during a year where officers have recently been killed or wounded in the line of duty. The police chief said the officer tried to present a "false image of heroism."
