This ‘Politician’ Character Is Low-Key Inspired by Beto O’Rourke

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Politician season 2. You’re not the only one who wondered if Tino in The Politician season 2 was based on Beto O’Rourke. After the comedy-drama premiered on Netflix on June 19, Twitter lit up with fans who wondered if the character was inspired by another Texas politician.

Tino McCutcheon, who made cameo in season 1, is a Junior Senator-Elect from Texas in The Politician season 2. At the start of the season, we learn that Tino (played by Sam Jaeger) has a secret plan to run for President of the United States and wants Dede to be his Vice President. Fans have pointed out that the storyline is similar to Beto’s political track. The IRL politician ran to represent Texas in the United State Senate in 2018 before he narrowly lost to Ted Cruz. Beto also was a 2020 Democratic candidate for President of the United States before he announced the end of his campaign in November 2019. Fans have also pointed out that the names, Beto and Tino, have similarities, as reported by Men’s Health.

The main difference is that Tino is a senator, whereas Beto was not. However, had Beto won against Cruz, he would’ve had the same title as Tino, “junior senator from Texas,” so there are parallels to their political tracks. The Politician also filmed its first season in fall of 2018, around the time of Beto’s senate election. Season 2 filmed toward the end of 2019, which is around the time that Beto conceded in his presidential race, so it’s possible that creator Ryan Murphy could’ve been inspired by the politician for both seasons.

However, other than their similar political careers, the similarities between Tino and Beto end there. As viewers saw, Tino has an affair with Georgina Hobart, Payton’s mom and the Governor of California, who he also wants as his Vice President after he sees Dede struggling to win her election in New York. Along with Georgina, Tino has also cheated on his with with other women. His wife, who’s in a coma for Trichinosis (an illness from eating undercooked pork), exposes him when she wakes up from his coma and reveals everything she’s heard while he’s thought she was unconscious. (Beto, for his part, has been married to his wife for 15 years.)

As of now, the creators from The Politician haven’t confirmed if Beto loosely inspired Tino. But there’s no denying there are resemblances.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
