Just pretend that it’s a fictional biopic a la “The Brutalist” and go see the darned thing already.

Yeah, I expect some hate mail for "Promethean," because it sounds so darned elitist and stupid all at once.

Of course, they denied it; the program ran long because speakers were just so darned popular, people wouldn’t stop cheering and clapping, party officials said.

Nobody begrudges Watkins’ success because she still seems so darned untainted by it.

Sure it's discussed and analyzed but there's a perfunctory vibe about it that makes it seem as if it's just another of those "Trump says the darnedest stuff" things.
