Nah. He’s bound to get into legal trouble before then--Trump could get away with this stuff because he was rich and he could just pay people to go away, but the rest of the Republican party doesn’t have that kind of regular cashflow. That’s why supporting him has worked out so badly for so many of them.

Not if the state of New York has anything to say about it. **rim shot**

Um... have you read ‘The Twits’ lately? It’s one hundred percent about two people whose descriptions perfectly fit those of Eastern European Jews being described as horrible, gross, nasty people whose character shines out so clearly that it makes them physically ugly. The quiet part is said particularly loud in that

Oh, I think it’ll be about six months before he’s caught taking bribes from whatever sleazy energy company operates in his district and he winds up in jail.

Are we REALLY still doing “the two parties are all just as bad as each other”? After 250,000 bodies hit the floor? After over 600 children disappeared in Trump’s concentration camps? After Trump funneled millions of dollars from the federal government directly into his own pockets through shady ‘expenses’ at his own

I don’t know if it’s “expecting” so much as “preparing”. We want feet on the throttle all the way until the polls close, and if a few days of anxiety mean an utter fucking landslide for Biden, I’m good with that trade.

Basically, they’re falling victim to a cult mentality. Not just in a pejorative sense but in the clinical meaning of the term - they’ve created an environment in which adherence to the doctrine supersedes consensus reality, as enforced by an “us vs them” mentality where belief in the propaganda is rewarded and

There is no legitimacy to the Supreme Court anymore. That ship has sailed. Then it was set on fire. Then it sank. The idea that somehow, if Democrats just keep playing by the rules then golly good gosh the legitimacy of the institution will somehow remain untarnished because only one side blocks appointments by their

Oh absolutely. For example, my cat wants to grab food from my plate. Rather than swat her away, I engage her in a reasoned, intelligent debate over the merits of her position, the better to understand them.

HBO was practically begging them for more seasons, but they refused. Money and time was not their problem. Lack of interest in continuing was.

So if not for slavery, we never would have been able to end slavery?

I think that Roberts, at least, has no intention of fucking with stare decisis to that degree. I also think that there’s no real institutional will among the Republicans to overturn Roe v Wade because it’s far more useful to them as a perpetual rallying cry against the decadent left than it ever would be as an actual

I think the reason people don’t like the sequel is because the first one had a happy ending, and the second one starts by tearing it up. And I’m not saying that’s a bad thing to do; sometimes yes, businesses fail and people are scapegoated for shit they didn’t do and relationships and friendships fall apart. But it’s

It’s not that she can’t handle it, it’s that she handles it by strictly categorizing it. I’m sure one of her favorite pastimes is totaling up the points for the fictional characters in the shows she watches, figuring out which of the only two boxes in existence to put them in once they’ve finished doing all that

You have to remember that Donald Trump’s only abiding philosophy is, “Fuck you, sucker, I got mine.” He’s not going to risk cramping his precious tiny fingers writing out a pardon for someone who isn’t useful to him anymore.

“You libs are so easily triggered.”

They don’t care anymore. They know that everyone inside the bubble will believe any bullshit they yammer out, and everyone outside the bubble is onto them, so why take the extra time and effort to craft plausible lies? Just say “fake news, Soros, lizard people lizard people lizard people” and move on to the next grift.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I’m pretty sure the majority of these judges’ “lifetime appointments” will be cut short by their arrest, conviction, and impeachment on corruption charges. The problem with filling positions with utter scum is that they don’t have the same charmed life that their scumbag leader

Oh, I love Donny Osmond. I remember seeing him live in ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’, back in the 90s, and he really blew the doors off of those songs. But Gladys Knight is on a whole other level even from that.

In fairness, the first season they had Gladys Fucking Knight on there, which... respect is due, is all I’m saying. I think the rule seems to be that the older the singer is under the mask, the more likely it is that they’re a legit legend trying to show that they’ve still got the chops.
