And I thought the New Jersey roads were bad.

Whenever I see a story about ‘someone broke into and robbed a gamestop/convenience store/etc’ I always think to myself Who would be dumb enough to rob X store?

I’ve got some close friends in WV (the poor sobs), and while yeah, I know that, through their experiences I sometimes find it hard to believe!

Aye, the best possible outcome would’ve been for them to EXTREMELY EXPEDITE the process, but there was no way he could be sure even then that the process in question would get finished before a) the leak he already knew about basically made it public anyways or b) the election concluded.

I said I don’t envy his position, but I still absolutely think Comey is a piece of crap that enabled the entire fubared situation anyways.

Yeah, I forgot about that tidbit. ‘Unenviable’ doesn’t even begin to describe the position he was in.

Oh certainly. To a reasonable non-politician like you or I, that sounds like a perfectly excellent idea.

A Dem win in Alabama was shocking enough, I may have an actual heart attack if a Dem manages a win in WV of all places.

I can see how it was a genuinely horrible position for him to be in. There was a very real possibility from where he was standing that he could end up in a situation where he kept quiet about the fact that they were pursuing new leads, and then have those leads lead to real results (we know now, of course, that they…

Can’t you cut the man some slack? He just wanted to be a good guy with a gun.

JUSTICE RAINS FROM AB-wauuuguhhh!!

Seriously. How can something be so right and so wrong at the same time?

I wish I could pay her two hundred and fifty thousand fucking dollars just to KEEP speaking.

I am 100% behind UBI, however part of funding UBI will frankly involve some serious overhauling of our vastly overpriced medical system, where the US burns so very much of its money every year. California can at least partially manage UBI on its own thanks to our big budget surplus (a surplus that we are now using to…

Honestly astonished a thousand bucks even helped. Most Americans facing the one-two punch of both a threatening medical illness AND the medical debt associated with it generally need something more like TEN thousand dollars to actually help, not a thousand.

It’s the only system you’ve known because it’s the only system given to us, particularly for retail work. When looked at through the lens of other countries’ work culture (barring perhaps Japan?), it seems insane.

The even more absurd line somehow to me is the bit about increasing productivity. It’s insane. The US is unique among many countries in that we’ve blurred work and personal life to the detriment of our health, that people crave overtime, insane burnout-worthy hours, just to claw ahead of the competition of their…

He was mocking NYT reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has a congenital joint condition. 

Not exactly. This is probably just about the most complicated scenario one could really imagine when it comes to attorney-client privileged, you could easily write multiple dissertations about this specific juncture in the whole Trump fiasco.

His behavior is the key. Someone with a CC that isn’t flaunting it isn’t compensating, but this guy clearly is.
