A Senator’s defense: “I know nothing of this bill I’m about to support with my vote!”

I’m no big time chef, but the set of 3 kitchen knives I got from Ikea, of all places, have been good to me. Two of them are from the 365+ series. They’re cast from a single piece of metal, well-balanced and seem to hold a decent edge so far. The last one has a wooden handle but looks like a full tang, but I don’t…

But then where’s the point where principle should outweigh self-interest? I mean, “work is work” is just another way of saying that a man’s gotta put food on the table, and that not everyone can afford quitting just because he thinks his company’s editorial stance is bullshit. I get that.

The NFL, F1 and Nascar, basically every extreme sport and a lot of no-extreme sports too. Panem et circences; what makes you think so much has changed from when people watched others get mauled by lions?

The joint checking account is for recurring expenses and dips as low as 1 or 2k generally before our monthly transfers come in. My wife and I each keep separate checking accounts where our paychecks come in. I don’t really know about her side; mine usually has 10 to 20k in it, and I’ll make 10k contributions to…

So just so I’m clear, if he’d bought the victim’s silence with private money it would have been fine?

In fact, Arpaio is seriously considering molesting a 14 year-old too in order to bump his ratings.

More like he looks like an idiot child in a room full of crocodiles.

You remember back in the day (I think it was 2017 or so, it’s been so long) when we bristled at the concept of a federal employee hawking someone’s merchandise ? How innocent we were!

Brb buying a Switch for B3 (and B2 while I’m at it).

It’s also basically was the rest of the world thinks of America at large for electing Trump, amusingly.

No, I kind of agree too. What he did was wrong and him resigning is, in absolute terms, the right response. But man, nobody on the other side gives the tiniest shit about the rules anymore, and their voters don’t either, and this whole ‘leading by example’ thing is just not working right now. There are sexual…

He probably had his lawyer write it. You know, like his self-incriminating tweets.

Right now my savings consist of a) the reduction of my remaining mortgage every month, and b) my annual bonus that I manage to entirely set aside. I’d very much like to start saving on a monthly basis too but that’s proven challenging. Mortgage and taxes shave off about 60% of the monthly income; my recurring…

What’s the plan then? The US now recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, and will move its embassy. Cool. But every other embassy - all 85 of them - and most diplomatic offices are staying in Tel Aviv. Jerusalem may be the most populous city, but TA still represents around 40% of its population (metro area…

“I’ve never noticed this statistically significant trend that you mention, therefore it doesn’t exist.”

Oh Mikey, now’s your time to shine! You sing, we’ll do the dancing.

Now’s the time to sing like a canary, Mikey!

Not to mention this unfortunate event:
