It’s become increasingly clear that Michelle was equally not interested in becoming the First Lady, and worried about the lasting effects on her children, but she stepped up and did the job, and some quality outreach work too. The longer Melanoma tries this halfassed let them eat cake shit, the worse she looks by…

Let’s follow this chain of (non)thought - ‘I hold X person in such high regard, that even if I was invited to a horrible event (a public hanging) by this person, not only would I go, I would be in the front row’. So for her, the deference she owes this person (unnamed, but I bet it’s a stale pale male) is greater than…

Apparently tears are the fastest way for your body to purge excess cortisol, especially when levels suddenly spike, as in a shock or horrendously bad news. (I never sad-cry, but a performance review has me weeping like my puppy just died of consumption.) 

Bwahahaha! Also, can we send them Huawei phones that only allow Weibo and Renren? 

Nah, don’t drop supplies, let them do what they’ve always done, feed off each other’s hate and spawn evil-looking clones to cannibalise.

I’m not worried about regular army v militia, I’m worried about if the militia confronts the refugees, in front of the army. Will they get involved? Who will they protect? If the militia ‘detain’ someone, is that a citizen’s arrest or kidnapping? If the army shoot the militia to protect refugees, will the right send…

Occupational Health and Safety. 

I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop on Bolton. I’m gonna predict twelve to eighteen months of increasing rhetoric, tension and fuckery, then a trigger incident, so Dear Leader can declare a justifiable war, say, three months before the next presidential election?

I bet he hugged himself when he thought it up too. 

Iirc, the Feds shot one guy (who pulled a gun), arrested a bunch more, but never prosecuted them for their federal crimes. The county they pulled the stunt in would have liked to prosecute, but didn’t have the money. Mostly both groups just wanted to forget it ever happened.

The Deacon prosecutes the ungodly. The Grand Inquisitor presides over the trial and pronounces the guilty verdict. The Grand Wizard is in charge of executing the sentence. The President will then tweet the customary thoughts and prayers to the remaining family members (ie those that haven’t already fled to Canada).

Glorious. (Ta!)

I need links to the Sessions thing (I ❤️ evangelicals getting pwned by people who know their Bible!) (pretty pls?)

This is a great idea. It should also be possible for parents to make a yearly deposit too, maybe with a tax deduction attached.

I bow to your expertise, sir. I’m afraid I have a tendency to simplify and skip over the technical details, in pursuit of the practical outcome (ie getting inquisitive children to wash their damn hands, or brush their teeth, or eat their veggies etc).

Yep, good rule. And the ‘don’t cross the streams’ rule (clean/dirty, raw/cooked, poopy diapers/regular clothes, etc).

Soap helps break up oils, which will get dirt off your skin, taking bugs with it, and can interfere with the lipids in cell walls, but that won’t affect viruses. Plus I see people vaguely spread soap on their hands, then immediately rinse it off, that’s not getting rid of anything. Better plain water and scrub like a…

‘reliable genetic evidence’, jfc. Whatever evidence is presented, it won’t be good enough for them. I don’t think there is a ‘genetic’ way to prove someone’s gender, and even if there is, it could take decades of study to find it - it’s far more subtle than XX or XY.

Ugh, do we really have to have this conversation again? You wash your hands before you touch food, and after you touch something nasty (eg anything remotely poop-related). It’s the scrubbing, not the soap, that removes germs, and alcohol sanitiser is great if you don’t have access to a sink or if you know there’s…
