My favorite example of the “Reaganomics recast as the center of the Overton Window, because the right side is now tending towards outright fascism” subgenre of GOP bullshit was when White House chief economic adviser (?) Gary Cohn was giving a talk and his host asked a room full of CEOs to raise their hands if they…

Don’t worry. Once GOP legislatures impose work requirements on all the Poors receiving any kind of government assistance, Red-blooded American companies like Home Goddamn Depot will have all the workers they need, and those workers will take whatever shit sandwich management serves them, because it’s that or starve.

Relatedly, take a look at the security at Ben-Gurion Airport, outside Tel Aviv. You might suspect the Israelis might have some interest in preventing a plane bombing, yes?

That’s the funny part. He actually thinks Mueller doesn’t have all the receipts. If/when That Asshole goes down, Pence (and likely half the top-level GOP leadership) goes down with him.

dey thicc tho

Visited Athens once on my way to Sandusky, because roller-coasters. Athens was a lovely town with the old downtown mostly coffee shops and artists’ collectives. Very nice. Hope they’re still doing OK; they seemed like nice people.

having hoardes of children…

aren’t these, like … dudes? Should they have spent some time learning how to throw a punch? ffs :(

“accurate” is also jumping out at me. As in “this allegation is not accurate. What my client actually said when Salma declined his offer of oral sex was that he would pay someone to kill her, not that he would sully his hands doing it himself.”

Cooley wrote. “I am committed to redoubling our efforts to build a supportive community in which all graduate students are empowered in their intellectual pursuits and professional goals within a welcoming environment.

To be fair, it was the previous administration allowing Qaddafi to be deposed and then sodomized and shot dead in a ditch after he complied with US demands and wound down his own MWD program that convinced every other nuke-aspirational asshole regime on the planet that the US’s word was for shit and that the only way…

Also, That Asshole’s recent pulling out of the JCpoA communicates loudly to every dictator the world over that the US’s promises don’t count for shit. The only reasonable course for any of them to take now is 1) get nukes, and 2) flatter That Asshole to score some short-term sweetheart deal to milk.

As they say, democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Good news everyone! Interim NYAG is Barbara Underwood, and she is here to fuck you up.¹

But why invest all that time and energy and (most importantly) money into a worker when you could instead invest nothing and then replace them when they inevitably maim themselves?

Important to note: the “no animals were harmed” designation is extremely lax. All it covers (iirc) is their treatment on set, and little to no oversight is done regarding their housing or treatment off set or when not shooting.

Cuomo and a handful of DINOs have effectively handed Albany over to the Republican minority. I’m not holding my breath.

Cynthia Nixon has no experience whatsoever with governance and if she doesn’t want to fuck up one of the richest, most powerful states in the union she should maybe learn how to do that by serving on city council or something (anything really) before she shoots for statewide office. Unless, of course, she’s only doing…
