now that you mention it he does seem to be running on a #foreverVP ticket...

I know the edit window can be a bitch & typos can haunt you on kinja...

since everything about the concept of the state is too deep for him...much less the Byzantine structure thereof...to be honest I’m never that surprised when he goes back to that particular well...

I tend to think the “many people” one is more a case of “I’m not the only one I’ve heard say this but if I gave you examples of the others...it would not strengthen my case...”

whilst it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he perjured himself in his written answers to Mueller I think the real reason he can’t let it go is broadly two-fold & would be exactly the same even if by some miracle he managed not to...

“Basically, they’re telling the truth, not realizing it’s not at issue”

what can I say...I'm no mental Titan...what other option did you leave me...?

we can’t all be that Swift on the uptake...

with all due respect to Teetollar nobody ever suggested giving Baldrick the vote...he’s the candidate...

I hear you...in fact I think most of the optimistic/naïve-sounding stuff I manage to post hereabouts stems largely from the efforts I make to cajole myself into not picking today to be the day to just give in to despair & be done with it...

this is tricky...fair enough it’s a bold move in a sense & maybe in service to a wider point that has some merit...& maybe they can squeeze some humor out of it to boot...

he literally doesn’t understand the accusations against him, or why his actions would be considered crimes at all.

surely that would be overkill in a number of senses when the lads at GCHQ could probably send over everything you’d need by lunchtime without leaving their desks, no...?

If youre president and have 34 senators on your side you are untouchable.

I find it’s almost possible to make sense of the majority of the gibberish that emanates from old man baby if I assume that it’s a partial transcript of a monologue with a lot of free association...

my first thought was that it was an elegant allusion to the famous quote about “a republic, madam - if you can keep it”...& the fact that old man baby wouldn’t get it was entirely intentional...

call me a cynic but at some point I’m pretty sure RINO will go back to being an accurate description of the grifter-in-chief & his goon squad...

would you say we’ve reached puce territory yet...?

if I follow mcbain correctly, though, the fact that it’s truth is dependent on thos approval ratings means it’s at least possible to end up with the numbers tanking & the preservation working out the other way around...

thanks...arguably that just underscores my own laziness but it's always nice to know my ability to remember stuff without looking it up has entirely atrophied...
