Good for Katie Porter. She used this strategy to great effect while grilling a Chase executive a while back, happy to see it working for her here as well.

God I love Katie Porter. TBH, tho, her whiteboard skills are godlevel.

“This is your first conviction. This is not your first offense.”

I’m hearing the brass part from Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You playing in my head, for reasons of it sounding more jubilant. I have a few more errands to run today, like, you know, an adult, but damn me if I’m not getting piss-drunk tonight to celebrate. As you said: Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.

His sentence runs consecutively not concurrently...he ain’t never gettin’ out. On a separate note, I noticed when he was walking into court, he’d be hunched over using a walker. Once he got to the stairs, he would stand up straight and was a able to carry the walker up the stairs.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fella.

Yeah, I’ve had straight guy friends try to explain the logic behind this particular strain of sexism. Like, my (former) skateboarder friends said the reason a lot dude skaters shun female skaters is because the whole point is to show off and do dangerous tricks “for” the girls. If girls are doing it too, who are the…

Are you thinking of the Georgian luger who died at the Vancouver Olympics? Skeleton and luge are different — luge is on one’s back, feet-first — though both insanely fast and scary. The country’s president didn’t say what kind of a sport is it that gets you killed; he said no sport should result in death; there was a…

Ah, but you see, those Sanders goons calling Warren a snake only did so because she *checks notes* put together a plan that realistically laid out how to achieve Medicare for All, and as such is a terrible centrist sellout liberal who must be to the right of Joe. Oh, also She’s using a PAC, which means she’s in the…

Four years ago, a woman garnered millions more votes in this country.

In case you’ve forgotten, Time’s Person of the Year in 2016 was Donald Trump.

Can we really continue to pile on Bill Clinton for this after everyone rallied around Katie Hill for the same thing six months ago? Are affairs with subordinates bad or not?

This Elizabeth Warren supporter is a proud dog owner and I have a strict, no-human food for doggos policy. So, much like almost every other policy proposal she’s laid out thus far, I continue to stand behind her 100%.

I completely understand why she has dropped and I still broken. FUCK this country. This is the smartest, most competent, most capable and genuine candidate in the whole field but the ignorant voters want to keep the status quo and go with another goddamned old white guy. FUCK this country.

There are better examples because I’m not suggesting she run the country like Edith Wilson did, but rather that she fill a gap in his capability (Woodrow was completely incapacitated by his stroke; that situation probably couldn’t happen nowadays), so I suppose two good examples would be Eleanor Roosevelt, who could…

So you’re basically hoping for an Edith Wilson presidency?

If Joe Biden is going to be the next president, it’s the presence of Dr Jill Biden on which I can hang my hope. His principal shortcoming is his weak communication skill. Joe is as apt to mess up a sentence or thought as was George W Bush*; Jill is an erudite speaker, who should be deployed at every opportunity.

I feel that she’s not just protecting her husband, but also my right to have cheese and butter.

This has been pointed out to Jez writers before but they conveniently ignore it because it doesn’t fit their irrational-hatred-of-Pete-Davidson agenda. Nor does the fact that with his mental health issues, it makes sense for him to have a close relative living nearby.
