I don’t need to know anything else about Vanita Gupta other than Mitch McConnell and the GOP hate her.  That’s qualification enough for whatever post she was nominated to, in my book.  

Apparently Susan Collins is no longer even cosplaying being a moderate. I just moved to Maine, and am so excited to vote against her (5.5 years from now).

The ship has been interned by a belligerent foreign power. Based on my understanding of The Sea, the honorable thing would be for the crew to scuttle the Ever Given rather than let it fall into enemy hands.

“The shipping times from this eBay seller in Egypt are crazy sporadic, but they've got the best prices anywhere!"

If they’re considered abandoned after 2 months, that’s the same for the cargo, so they can check out what's in the containers, right?

My comment history does nothing of the kind. And what do my previous comments have to do with whether what I said above is correct?

Nearly every initial press account of this incident- which was based on the secondhand accounts of family members- was completely contradicted by the bodycam footage. Heres a picture of the dead girl about to plunge a six inch knife into the woman in pink

Thank you for your insight. And your last two paragraphs capture perfectly how I have been feeling about this (but wasn’t able to articulate).

Agreed. They have no policies they can actually admit to their base. So they fall back on stocking rage and fear to keep the base engaged.

Not true. The goals of the Republican party have always been clear: Lower tax rates for the rich and corporations. Deregulation of business including environmental, safety, and liability regulations. Complete depowering of unions and worker’s rights. Complete defunding of tax-based social/welfare programs.

It’s very doubtful this would cause a mistrial or a successful post conviction appeal. The key here is that she is a CA congresswoman expressing a nationwide common view. If she were a local or state politician and she said that there will be violence directly against the jurirs maybe there would be a chance of there…

They created this monster--the monster of Faux-Rage Mob Idiots. We’re all trapped in a hideous nightmare version of Little Shop of Horrors, where Audrey II has the country wrapped in its tentacles and there’s no good songs.

Obviously, why else would they insist on bringing weapons into the capitol building if not to defend their fellow congresspersons? And I’m sure one of them would helpfully tweet out Nancy Pelosi’s location so she, uh, didn’t get lost.

“This is who they are and this is how they act.”

Man, those Republicans are really upset. What would they do if an insurrectionist mob stormed the Capitol Building? No doubt Boebert and Greene would take up their weapons to defend the institution and democracy. McCarthy would like to help but he can’t figure out how to leave the stall in the men’s room.

That’z ztupid.

Look- I don’t pay for individual-sized condiments. This is precisely half of the reason why I don’t eat at Zaxby’s. The other half? They call their “salads” “zalads” instead of calling them “zaladz.”

I sure was hungry about half way in.

If this is Fisher not being cryptic, maybe he should go back to being cryptic. Because if this is the whole story basically boils down to:
