Denying evolution is almost quaint and nostalgic in this era of Trumpian malaise.

Yes. The point is to convince the public that the truth can never be known so they just give up trying. It’s called the Firehose of Falsehood.

“Has he diddled any underage girls? We’ll sign the papers right now if he’s done that much due diligence.”

If he believes in ruling based on fundamentalist Christian principals, NRA propaganda and “advice” from special interest groups, he’s perfectly qualified by Republican standards.

Yes, there is a vague, politically driven media consensus built on a whole lot of nothing, which is the problem.

Has no one noticed there is not one proven concrete instance of “Russia” doing much of anything, or at least anything effective, vis a vis “attacking our elections?”

Oh, I’m sure the piss tape is the least of it. The Republicans have some terrific spin doctors, and I’m sure they figured out a year ago that letting slip the most salacious bit would distract and cover for the truly appalling stuff. Sadly, the press, who have wised up a bit since then, fell for it.

“He says he didn’t meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on the trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. “Every time he sees me, he said: ‘I didn’t do that.’ And I believe, I really believe that when he tells me that he means it.”

What does even fucking matter anymore? The GOP has shown that they’ll support their own regardless of what they do.

Never thought I’d see the day a U.S. president took the word of a Russian leader (ex-KGB, no less) over the analysis of his own intelligence services. It’s bizarre, crazy, and dangerous to put it mildly.

“Stop the Russia investigation or I will let Roy Moore kill date this puppy.” —Donald Trump

“It’s a physical feature, like ... long necks.”

I am continually impressed by the ability of large institutions to shoot themselves in the dick when handling these situations. Just the photo is an incredible own goal; everything after it is inexplicable.

Looks like my comment didn’t quite hit. I’m not rejecting the racism of the player’s gesture, just his idiocy for thinking somehow having slanted eyes is something to be ashamed of.

never a bad time to post the best Football YouTube video of all time, but this feels especially relevant:

Found the butthurt Falcons/49ers fan

not really if you read the NYT article that shows AH brain was worst ever seen in 27 y.o. and only comparable was a 46 y.o. boxer.

I suspect it doesn’t matter how tough or good you are or how much you want to get back out there and win the game for the team.
