“Well, yes, there’s nothing that says that you can’t use SSAE grants to build an army of robot supersoldiers to murder anyone who comes into the school without written authorization, but...”

I think that’s what’s most sickening about this. The people shouting about this case patently don’t give a fuck about this poor young woman. She’s a prop to them, something they can trot out whenever they need to demonize illegal immigrants and then put away. They don’t care about her getting justice, they don’t care…

Chillingly, the world is at his command.

I think there’s a good chance, so long as he knows where he’s going to.

“Senate Democrats are working to delay confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. I’m sure they’ll pull this off successfully because they are good at holding to their commitments.”

Unlike the previous Hollywood film, this one’s about a real Slender Man.

Well, I think Sarah was probably driven to fits of apopletic rage by the “got your nose” gag well into her twenties, so...

She doesn’t have any liability, because they don’t ever tell her the truth to begin with. That way she can honestly say she is reporting only what the President says.

I can think of no better counter-argument for his assertion that he should remain the public face of the franchise than actually reading his words.

Because he’s willing to call Mexicans “animals” and “rapists”, and say that actual literal Nazis are “very fine people”. Watching the Trump candidacy/presidency in action is like seeing one of those strange little forests of sculptures on wires, where it just looks like a bunch of random little pieces until you look…

Yes. There’s legal precedent on this—some people do refuse pardons, although the circumstances are usually quite different from Cohen’s situation. Basically, the courts have established that accepting a pardon carries an imputation of guilt, so if you accept the pardon that means you’re admitting you did it. So if…

But at least the children raped by his subordinates will be forced to carry their own child to term even though their bodies aren’t ready to give birth! That’s... fucking horrifying.

“Vote for me, and I promise I will pepper spray Mike Cernovitch every single day of my term and livestream the footage!”

Apparently Feige said at the big movie distributors conference back in July that it would be revealed toward the end of the year, right around the time of the first big marketing push. They are holding this one very close to the vest for some reason.

She could split the difference, bring Mike Cernovitch along and then pepper spray him in the face at every stop...

If there were Trumpers on the jury, they would have voted “Not Guilty” on all eighteen counts.

I think Rachel Maddow mentioned this at one point--because he kept so many files and recorded so many of his conversations, there’s very little that he could give the government in testimony that they don’t already have in evidence.

“he guzzles around eight Diet Cokes a day”

“We need to have a hook to get you guys interested in seeing the bus tour,” she said.

Yeah, I read that whole thing making my EEEEEEEEWWWWWW face. Such a creep.
