make sure you have your swooning couch handy:

You know who ELSE had a near-pathological obsession with bodily purity, was a teetotaler, and also fat?

Edit: doubled the post already given with That Asshole playing tennis while sporting a visible panty line. fml :(

God DAMMIT you beat me to it, and I posted it anyway because I am stupid and don’t check comments before posting.

Aubrey Plaza hanging out with the Weed Nuns and discussing their order while getting royally baked is just delightful:

I think it might have been well-intentioned by some of the caregivers, but a lot of mental-health treatment since Reagan has been focused on metrics of progress. That is, the patient should be showing a consistent progression towards being “well,” and part of that is intended to mean moving out of state-run…

Fun (?) Fact (from Frank Rich’s article in New York Magazine this weekend, about the impending impeachment): when Nixon finally resigned — and remember, Watergate took something like 19 months from the election until his eventual resignation, so strap in for another year+ of This Bullshit — he still had an approval…

This right here. Nobody with any sense or decency imagines that, once in place, the administration has any intent of lifting it at some later date. The 90-day window is just a pretext to say our immigration/refugee system is Swiss cheese and needs to be shut down.

Like Rick Wilson said on twitter last week, DC is littered with the bodies of people who underestimated Mitch McConnell.

As a resident of Germany I can attest that native Germans have the most absurdly naive/ignorant impressions of “black” people. Mammies, blackface, golliwogs, Hottentots, you name it. They’re all over German depictions of POC of African descent. That a white German woman would decide she wanted to appropriate Black…

reminds me of a news story I read maybe 20 years ago, from Normal, IN (because of course), in which cops had a domestic call where they discovered the parents had tumbled a toddler in a dryer for a bit as a punishment.

Apropos, the verb “addle” originally meant the act of shaking an egg to break the yolk inside, thus terminating gestation without destroying the egg as a population-control method against nesting geese and other waterfowl (who will just lay another one if they lose it, but will sit on an addled one until it goes bad,…

One of the very few things I like about HuffPo is their politics snarkfest roundup, which every now and then “congratulates” Kushner on some ridiculous new job title. The most recent was “Congratulations to Palestinian Authority President Jared Kushner,” on account of his farcical peace-brokering trip, a task for…

Can you fill me in on what went down? I’m so exhausted trying to keep up with the impending criminal investigation/RICO/TrumPutin bloodbath that I haven’t been getting a much-needed dose of Tory schadenfreude.

The Catholic Conference and the Boy Scouts continued lobbying to oppose the legislation, trotting out the same old argument: that its passage would open a floodgate of litigation that would inevitably bankrupt parishes, schools, and other institutions.

you have to be patient. These are enormous investigations: FinCEN and the FBI are unwinding literally decades of byzantine money-laundering schemes to nail these fuckers to the wall, and it takes a long time to make sure nobody goes free. House & Senate oversight & intel committees have to coordinate with (among…

My prediction: sometime in 2018 the FBI, FinCEN, NSA, or any other (or all) of the investigations will release their findings that This Asshole and most of his circle committed felonies, RICO violations, fraud, money laundering, colluding with a hostile foreign power, and thus (probably without stating it outright)…

I keep linking this article, because one of the points the author makes (that’s Ken Layne, Wonkette and Gawker’s heart and soul of political analysis, long before HamNo was doing it) is worth repeating: the fallout from the economic decline perpetrated by Republicans simply hasn’t been bloody enough. Most Americans…

Surprise! The shit sandwich the Senate GOP is going to be stuffing into your mouth next goddamn week just went to the CBO for scoring.
