It’s entirely possible to make the correct response for entirely incorrect reasons. I have a lot of difficulty believing that this administration is suddenly outraged at the deaths of civilians in Syria.

Welp, this is one way to avoid impeachment. We’d never dare to impeach the commander-in-chief in the middle of conducting military operations.

Yeah, best the Republicans be the ones to kill the filibuster — now, in defense of one of this administration’s nominees, right after deliberately holding the seat open for nearly a year — than the Democrats inevitably having to do it next time on the very first nominee they put forward.

In other news, Democrats just announced that they have the 40 votes needed to filibuster the Gorsuch nomination. So now we can look forward to the next Democrat being able to get all his/her SCOTUS nominations through the Senate with a 51-vote majority, because the Republicans are very definitely going to kill the…

That doesn’t explain why no NGOs are interested either, though.

So are we maybe going to talk about why this (NSFW) post from 2011 was featured in the you-may-also-like sidebar today?

Who wants to bet money that, say, an anonymous allegation of rape/sexual assault against male sports team members does jack shit, and certainly doesn’t get the individual (much less the whole team) suspended?

and in 2007 in Somervell County of reckless driving and making a terroristic threat,” the latter of which apparently was related to threatening to run little boys over with his car.

In other, less awful news, the West Indian Manatee population has rebounded enough that its status is being downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened.”

Dudes.

I’ll just wait right over here waiting for the racist-ass NRA to step up on this obvious case of a homeowner being wholly within is rights to defend against a home invasion, and being persecuted by government agents for exercising his 2nd-Amendment rights.

The only thing keeping me from blinging out on a MW bag is my 19" laptop. Everybody I talk to raves about them.

I like the part where they are using the imagery of a militarized police force best known for rolling up in APCs, kicking down doors and shooting the pets, beanbagging peaceful protesters, teargassing journalists, and arising out of a racist “war on drugs.”

They do not, and that is exactly the crux of the anti-trans panic these people have.

Huma! Nooooooo, girl! He’s just going to hurt you again!

In other news, a Treasury Dept. investigation of campaign shenanigans has begun investigating Cypriot banks in relation to Paul Manafort. Given everything Maddow has said about just how deep and seedy that connection goes, I gleefully hope suspect they’re going to start rolling up some rather ugly malfeasance on the…

Yeah, I was gonna go with “poorly spackled-over nascent lesion.” I hear cancer is what gets a lot of men in their 70s. I guess that old saying about not wishing death on anyone, but reading many an obituary with pleasure, would apply here; except that sentiment conflicts with my desire to see this asshole live a long…

Update: vote’s delayed ‘til Friday.

You guys, checking updates on today’s House vote on that godawful healthcare bill has me full of anxiety.
