It makes me a bad person but I kinda hope all of his supporters absolutely believe him and go out and intentionally engage in risky behavior and end up catching the damn virus.  Then we’ll really see what the percentages are ....

Unfortunately, it isn’t that much more difficult.  “Crisis Actors” somethingsomething “George Soros” “Deepstate” .....

That’s also bothered me since I read the original story.  Like, no f’ing way I’d let anybody do that to a kid on a team I coached.  That’s the time you put the kid behind you, tell the ref to get f’d and take the kids back to the locker room.  Let the shitty, racist ref explain to the school districts why the match…

I was also very confused about that. Maybe some weird hillbilly dance move or something? Like, ‘yeehaww, whoops, sorry about kicking you in the shins ...’

Hmmmm, What is: Russian ‘bot, Alex?

Have been saying a version of this for a while. And the same can be said in another arena; voting. The GOP is doing their level best to suppress and just outright steal votes. And that will provide some short term success.

But long term?  If we don’t trust the vote, then we have to have violent revolution every time…

“It is now my greatest wish that Samuel L. Jackson actually has no clue who Gwyneth Paltrow is anyway and thought she was Michelle Pfeiffer’s stunt double the whole time they were filming the scene.”

Now I, too, want this with all of my cold, dead heart. :D

And she obviously has never actually watched any of the Marvel…

I’m still holding out for a Warren/Harris co-presidency with Mayor Pete getting the upgrade to VP Pete.

I had a legitimate sinking feeling when I read that (because it appears to be completely true...).

First, author is a she (Sophie Weiner).
Second, while I agree that you couldn’t actually END the electoral collage without a Constitutional Amendment, we are actually well on our way to making it irrelevant by state law.

• Lost in the Fantasy World: You’re modern kids trapped in a D&D-style universe, fighting to get back home. You have to choose between helping people in this world and reuniting with your own families. It’s Jumanji meets Stranger Things meets The Neverending Story.

It’s okay to be religious until you use your religion as a justification for denying other people their rights, or until you declare that everyone has to do something or not do something because your religion says so.

That will be the new norm. President/AG combined (save the whole AG salary!) will be the real, long-term Trump legacy .... :D

“It’s fucking embarrassing.”
Evil.  Evil is the word you’re looking for.  ;)

Speaking as a guy with a degree in PoliSci, I can say that this is all extremely f’d up. And the reason that McConnell has all of this power, and also the reason that Trump can flout all of these norms, is because almost all Senate procedures are the result of ‘tradition’ and ‘norms’. There are rules, sure, but damn…

Hey now.  The van ALSO had a lot of youth soccer stickers on it!!  (for real)

You COULD say that because that was common knowledge at the time (among adults, at least). I don’t think Marvel ever tried to represent otherwise. The comics were written expressly to give a ‘story’ reason for the toy line that had been developed.

Kids didn’t know or care, but Marvel was pretty open about it.  And it…

“To the best of my knowledge, no one likes Puck from Alpha Flight”.

Well, historically speaking, I think we, as a society, break one of two ways. Option A) we ban propaganda networks by requiring absolute truth in journalism. Over the next 30 years, our society kind of resets to 1970s level of civic understanding. Option B) we have another civil war, and the ‘winner’ gets to decide…

As a former Catholic, I like your optimism!
But realistically, you know, we can’t even get The Church to agree to report child raping priests to the law. Or to uhh, stop all the child raping. And newly revealed, nun raping!

So keep hope alive and all, but like, don’t bet the house on it. Or leave your child alone with…
