This is why I say I take Trump’s efforts to steal the election seriously. There are untold numbers of racist chuckleheads like these two all up and down our entire system of govt and as seen here represent an obvious threat to our electoral process. Yes, I do not take any of Trump’s legitimate attempts to win the…

You make a good nurse.  I would not make a good nurse.

I’m a nurse in L.A. and I’ve seen and heard of stories like this. I also try not to judge patients too hard. Denial is a very common attitude to every dangerous and deadly condition. Also, low oxygen saturation over a prolonged time caused by difficulty breathing is going to lead to impaired cognitive function.…

“I completely get that but I guess my larger point is that I hear talking heads and politicians etc using the frustration word when they should be using words that really describe their feelings...”

I saw my mom last week for the first time in about nine months. The visit started pleasant, but when I referenced that I would visit her more often once the plague dies down, she went on an anti-COVID rant. “You know, Dwight, only fatal for .o125 percent [or whatever figure she pulled out of Fox News].”

I see your point but she is talking about how she feels, and how she feels is frustrated. 

Eh, that doesn’t have much to do with the question “why do people want kids?” Cave people fuck because it feels good.

I’m guessing that had Hakeem Jeffries showed up with a George Floyd mask they’d be calling him George all day too.

when i lived in illinois, carol mosely braun was my senator, and on her first day, jesse helms(may he rot in the fires that burn but do not consume) whistled dixie at her in the elevator. now i live in stl and voted for cori bush and this shit. im getting kinda fucking sick and tired of republicans disrespecting my…

OK, you’re making two statements:

I suppose I’m just cynical toward any suggestion that our institutions will go so far as to use physical force to enforce the law when it comes to this administration. It’s become so easy for me to imagine a scenario in which everyone responsible for preventing a coup would stand down and chalk it up to “politics”…

I agree with you, but all he would really need for a coup to succeed is for the military to do nothing. By all rights, he should be removed from the White House on 20 January; if the Secret Service, the military, local law enforcement, etc. all refuse to physically remove him while he insists he is still president,…

Dolly is too classy to say, “What the fuck is it to you and why the fuck do you think you have the right to ask that?”

That is why a lot of people in 2016 were saying to not fuck around and vote even though some people Just Weren’t All That Excited About Hillary.

This is very much a coup attempt. It in all likelihood will become a failed coup attempt in fairly short order.  But it IS an attempt.  If he had the military on his side, it wouldn’t be a failure, he absolutely would be sitting in the White House come next Feb.

Absolutely nothing can be done about a stacked judiciary without a Senate majority, and even then our only option is to do our own stacking. Justices can only be removed via impeachment and impeaching them for their lack of qualifications is a nonstarter given that we’d need the votes of senators who voted to confirm…

So can anything be done about a stacked judiciary? Can you undo a lifetime appointment if you can prove the candidate is unqualified (I understand some or many of them were — even just based on age/lack of experience alone)? How many vacancies can Biden fill at the federal level?

None of this is funny until he is actually gone...
