So, to take the verbiage of the survey, specifically, then....whoever gets to define “bad behavior” would control the media at that point.

If an opponent nobody knew was able to get 38% of the primary vote without raising a single dollar just by being the name on the ballot other than “Bob Menendez,” just imagine what she could have accomplished with a little bit of fundraising and some support from the national DNC.

If the Dems take the House in Nov, Ryan would no longer be the Speaker of the House as of the 2nd week of January 2019- it would be whoever the new Democratic majority elect as Speaker.

Bcause it’s a lot easier for a judge to hold the NRA in contempt and fine them an overwhelming sum of money for failing to follow discovery rules than it is for us peasants to beg and cajole Red State lawmakers into doing their goddamn jobs.

It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation for CNN. Cover it, and people accuse you of promoting it. Don’t cover it, and the nutjobs claim you’re part of the conspiracy and start trouble for you.

While all of their visual aids and equivalencies are not factually incorrect, they are kind of pointless in a digital age. Let’s assume those 900,000 pages of documents average about 5,000 bytes as formatted files. That’s 4.5 billion bytes, which amounts to about 4.5 gigabytes of data. That means all the data…

Sounds like someone’s taking their all bacon-and-cheese keto diet a little too seriously.

You want me relabel almond and coconut milk as “almond juice” or “coconut juice?” Ok. I demand that you label your dairy milk as “bovine mammary secretions.”

Only the best SNL-inspired movie of all time!

Big mistake.

Came here for the Blues Brothers reference.  Was not disappoined. 

Exactly. If the election comes down to a candidate that’s kind of ok-ish and another that’s diametrically opposed to everything you care about, and you take your ball and go home because neither is what you really, really wanted...that leaves you with precisely *zero* room to bitch when the candidate that hates your…

“Bombshell” is a bit of a stretch. He’s accusing the president of something people already widely suspect. But without any evidence or corroborating testimony... it’s basically just the word of one dirtbag desperate to save his own hide against the word of another dirtbag desperate to save his own hide.

Are their dipshit viewpoints harmless nonsense about the Earth being flat, or that becoming a social media”influencer” is a legitimate long-term career choice? Or do they involve rolling back 60 years’ worth of civil rights, gender equality, environmental and consumer protection regulations?

I find that binging British dramas on Amazon Prime until late at night and then tossing back a double of cheap Scotch keeps the nightmares to a minimum.  Getting out of bed for work the next day sucks, but it isnt anything half a pot of coffee and 45 minutes in traffic re-evaluating your choices in life can't overcome.

I will never understand the Trumpster’s decorating sense. Even if I was legit a multi-billionaire, I could never say “Let’s bedazzle the sitting room completely in 24k gold and precious jewels!” with a straight face. Seriously, isn’t having a McMansion-sized penthouse in Manhattan already an ostentatious enough…

Yeah. The words “higher taxes” inspire so much irrational fear in so many people.  Maybe it really is about re-framing the discussion with different words to get over that hump.

I try to explain that concept to people, but they just don’t get it. Yes, your taxes will go up to make it happen. But you don’t need health insurance anymore if the entire system has gone single-payer, so the net increase isn’t as dramatic as people make it sound. Plus, you never have to say, “I should probably get…

It’s like we’re inching down toward the something like the Doctor Who episode “Extremis”, where people start committing mass suicide because they realize they’re just components of a computer simulation and not actually real.

Very true. Though, the $ aspect comes into play when the individual in question has bills to pay, mouths to feed and no job to do either while that mess is being worked out. The lawyer might be on the union’s payroll, but that's one of their problems at that point.
