What I want is after the democrats take back congress (at the least the House, if not the senate too) that they begin really serious investigations. If they can begin impeachment proceedings and make it last long enough, Trump loses his ability to use is pardon powers. I actually wonder if the democratic house might…

I’m also in the “no” camp. My coffee table has drawers so I can hide clutter and such in it. Marie Kondo would tell me to just get rid of those things.. but I use them. I just don’t want them sitting out all the time.

Counterpoint: No.

You know what sucks? Besides the obvious. That even if trump gets kicked out of office and publicly ruined, all this shit has been put out there and exposed for the world to see. If the world was a neighborhood, we’re the family whose dad went outside jerked himself off and then took a huge dump on his next door…

I finally saw it yesterday and there were so many moments (including that one) where the entire theater reacted together spontaneously — applause, cheering, gasping, etc. It was such a cool communal experience!

Right?

I saw The Last Jedi yesterday, and this was definitely one of the best scenes in the whole movie.

That was a very cool, dramatic moment that elicited gasps and all kinds of vocal reactions from the audience I saw this with.

A polygraph test is only good if conducted independently, and the questions asked are known.

i’m with Ghost of James that for the most part i only read/post from work and had a 4 day for the x-mas break.

What do you think the reason might be?

I agree. I hope that it picks up after the holidays. I suspect that people are just suffering from Trump fatigue syndrome. Also, since so many people are permanently greyed even though they are good commenters, I wonder if they just gave up and left finally.

I hate it when people start off a sentence saying is it just me, but I’m going to go for it anyways! Is it just me or does jez seem to be kind of a ghost town lately? I miss the commentariat. :(

I’m holding onto my PS3 for when my child grows up. In the mean time, I’m downloading all the free PS3 PS+ games each month so she will have an insane number of games at her disposal when she starts playing.

Seems to me that it might stem from a feeling that he had done everything he could for the country - that he was at peace with himself. He was constitutionally barred from seeking another term. He could have basically refused to transfer power to Trump and foment a de facto coup, but that would be highly…

He left the country in Trump’s hands because voters willed it that way, in spite of being told that putting Trump in power would unleash the Hounds of Hell known as the GOP controlled Congress. A whole lot of minorities warned white liberal Americans what was coming. In response, we got a whole lot of bullshit about…

I’ve always thought of it as a defense mechanism. Imagine you’re the first black president and throughout your entire presidency, people are throwing the most offensive racist shit at you. Then the loudest and most obnoxious of the whole incapable and embarrassing lot actually wins the election after you and does…

It was probably serenity for him because that was the moment he was finally free of dealing with an ungrateful nation and got his life back.

This is why lifetime appointments for federal judges need to end, now. This business of picking the youngest possible candidates for federal judgeships is insane, and is going to produce more and more disgraces like Brett Talley and Matthew Spencer Petersen.
