Not a waste of time. Our elected representatives have processes to follow so NO ONE (including any branch of government) abuses power. It’s a pain in the ass when you wish they’d just call in a few snipers, admittedly.

It’s actually not. A President, once impeached and convicted, loses his pension and protective detail, among other things, and can no longer offer pardons, such as to those people who participated in the insurrection.

A symbolic waste of time at this point.

You’re right that it won’t go anywhere because there aren’t enough people loyal to the constitution in the senate.  That doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing.  For one, trying to pardon himself would be good in that either it would be ruled he can’t or there would be reason to change the laws so the president can’t do…

Two weeks ago, these same people now calling for “unity” and “healing” would have said anyone who said they were worried about exactly what ended up happening happening had Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Its getting harder and harder to watch young, unpaid black men get concussions and other injuries so that old white dudes can make a few million dollars.

And the NCAA made millions that none of the(mostly black) guys who are getting busted up on the field will ever see a dime of.

When you are dealing with a tantruming toddler with nuclear codes, the absolute best thing you can do is distract him with something shiny to keep his attention off the fact that he has nuclear codes. The Dems have to keep Trump’s attention for the next week to prevent him from fucking up the country even more with…

Because the House can impeach (though not remove) without the Senate...and because the Senate has blocked all of the relief the House already passed and sent to Mitch's desk up to this point. So until after the 20th this is the best they are going to he able to accomplish. 

You should delete your account over this truly horrendous take.

People died, guy... and we’re pretty lucky that it wasn’t significantly more people.

Nancy Pelosi remains the cilantro of speakers of the house—only a few people adamantly love her while she alienates far more by consistently refusing to get out of the fucking mix despite it being perfectly fine to just serve her up off to the side directly to the people who enjoy her.

Boeing’s chief executive was fired over this, but sure. Go off.

“its software guys in Mumbai”

It’s fine. The plane is good. I’m a commercial aircraft mechanic, I’m flying on one in two weeks, and I couldn’t care less.

Dude is a Black/Native American Republican and he’s now clutching the pearls because the group he chose to align with who has a history of terrorizing people of color turned on him.

C Pod. C Pod go. Go Pod go.

“...combining the two groups seems like an obvious solution to the casual observer...”

Y’know, it would be nice if there were a place here where I could go and click 12 or 15 times and then be left alone without being forced to click to get off a screen. I understand offering a mail newsletter, but I have to fight it off at Gizmodo, Jezebel, AV Club, Lifeacker, etc. Then there are the screen-freeze…

There is no such thing as Christian Christmas. Christian Christmas is a fabrication to replace the ancient Roman holiday of Saturnalia, the viking holiday of Yule, and every other pagan holiday associated with the Winter Solstice. What did you do at such festivities? Feast, drink, dance, bone. On Saturnalia, you would…
