You know how I know you’re from Canada?

Remember that Seinfeld where George has sex with the cleaning woman, and when his boss confronts him, his bullshit response is “Should I not have done that? Is that sort of thing frowned upon. Because I gotta say, at my old job we did that sort of thing all the time.” Essentially the WH is adopting that strategy…

You understand that the whistleblower followed the legally prescribed and protected internal process for submitting the complaint, right?

I don’t see why narrowing it to the Ukraine issues is so bad, given the circumstances.

Oh yeah, that’s smart. If the House fast-tracks impeachment, if the Senate votes to impeach him, it means they get to put Pence in and get a whole year to do plan a do-over for 2020. That’s fucking stupid.

A lot of these "vulnerable" Democrats were elected to hold Trump accountable. Which they are now too scared to do. I think they need to worry more about a primary challenge.

“Flag of group who faught fascists has been adopted by group currently fighting fascists" is quite the Galaxy brained Hot Taek.

I love the idea of, “Let’s combat anti-Nazi imagery with Trump imagery. That’ll show them who the real Nazis are!”

There’s absolutely zero reason to believe this is anyone other than Geoff Cameron, who is an idiot. Also, it’s extremely Good and Normal that he knows that the official merch of the President of the United States is the opposite of anti-fascist stuff.

Because the Lollipop Guild is full, short stack.

Because that’s short.

Can we also tack on ‘sociopath,’ please? There’s a very specific and agreed-upon definition for that term, and Trump fits it perfectly.

As a Columbia alumnus and someone who took orgo, I can vouch for the fact that people who were serious about studying for the Orgo exam the night before the test knew not to go to the library. Everyone was at the library that night to listen to the band, not to study.

This underplays what Orgo Night is. I saw this story elsewhere, and it led me into a rabbit hole. Here’s what I took away (and I’ll happily stand corrected if any Columbia alumni can offer better info):

After 3 weeks, Melvin Gordon tired of being a Sans Dinero Charger.

For some reason, in the past few years people have generally accepted that lying requires the actor to be aware that they’re saying things that aren’t true. It means people of a certain type (liars) can just say whatever the fuck they want and then claim that in their heart of hearts they didn’t know, and therefore…

For all the trolls bleating about the supposed lack of an “explicit quid pro quo,” it’s right there in the middle of the fucking call:

Big surprise: a person who was pampered, isolated, and catered to throughout their childhood, who has surrounded their self with Yes-Men for decades, who has an enter operation within the government to censor his newsfeed for only positive news has a skewed and crooked perspective of the world.

It’s part and parcel of Trump’s standard strategy.
