It definitely is. There are widespread efforts to find and frighten this person, and I hope they don’t work. Leave aside that the Trump administration is a tire fire of corruption and wanna-be authoritarians, and imagine the damn bravery it takes to do this.

I would assume it’s jail. That’s usually what’s on the line with subpoenas if you don’t cooperate.

Travis should not have listened to whoever told him whatever they did to his face was going to work. He looks like his own Cabbage Patch kid. I liked a fair amount of his music back in the day, but whatever happened to him was not a great choice.

Generally, yeah. Of course, I’m pretty sure the most famous pastors on the planet have prayed for harm to others to “bring them to God,” so you’re not gonna be the only one if you engage in a bit of Greek mythology-inspired prayer. I know of a church with a prayer circle that routinely beseeches the Creator of the…

My understanding is that from the rich/chosen evangelical perspective, it’s not really relevant whether or not he is sincerely religious. It’s more important that he’s interested in working with them and that he’s willing to do the things they want to see accomplished. So they’re putting it out there that he actually i…

The only two reasons I would argue that we shouldn’t load Geraldo onto a rocket and fire him into Jupiter are that 1. He did a Good Thing 40 years ago in reporting on institutions where people were basically being tormented to death and warehoused for life; and 2. that once we start loading dumbass old conservatives…

Jesus, I just realized some poor TA had to read this moron’s papers for minimum wage (if they were lucky).

I’m inclined to believe that he actually spent upwards of ten minutes on checking it over and nodding to himself at how clever it was, and then turning to get the TP after he hit the button to post.

I’m sure it’ll be the exact same level of pissed they were about Valerie Plame, or the people who had to book it out of Russia after Trump blew their cover in casual comments.

Between the two of them, these goons have committed fraud multiple times now. How they’ve avoided a couple of years in a minimum security prison is beyond me, except to say that if you ever needed a face to put on white privilege, it’s these two lying jackasses anytime they’re photographed without bars in the frame,…

This seems like a better system than the one I grew up with, which was to remove small wedges from around the bologna slice. It ended up looking like a weird Iron Cross-type shape, which was odd.

On paper, yeah. But there’s been retaliation against whistleblowers just about as long as there have been whistleblowers. Even the poor bastard who called the cops on Nixon’s burglary crew got royally screwed for years and years.

That was my first thought. I was a fetus or infant while these were running, but I was pretty sure it was Wendy’s.

Man, how much do you think the coffee mug replacement budget has gone up at this point? The only good thing is that forever and ever, when someone says “Government should be run like a business,” we can point to this. Almost all business people. None who could find their ass with both hands and search team.

Don’t you have some paint chips to eat?

The thing that gets me is . . . this weirdly suggests he (somehow) didn’t know he couldn’t do this. Like, he genuinely doesn’t understand why anyone would be upset or bothered by it. I feel like that suggests he’s done this kind of thing a lot before, and a phone call with a quiet “Look, we’re both big people, we…

You seem like the kind of person who only recognizes a joke when it includes a racial slur and the words “walk into a bar.”

A child is only as good as their ability to obey authority, to a conservative. It’s the best way to get adults who want to have control and power over others, but are willing to spend a decade or two eating frogs to get it.
