“We’re going to use a model you’ll like, the last guy who used it was beaten, shot, and sodomized with a bayonet. But we think we’ve got the bugs worked out. Sign here.”

FOAF on FB already used that in a discussion with me this morning.

Wow. I wonder if it dawns on him that if people like him hadn’t allowed Russia to split the party, he wouldn’t now have to be petulant that Obama isn’t rescuing him.

So, if this were a science fiction dystopia, and Erik Prince and his sister DeVos were characters, I’d connect the dots and say, Oh, the homegrown fascists are going to warehouse the kids, separate them from their parents, and DeVos and her ilk are going to be responsible for “educating” the kids. Did I say educate? I…

I thought it highly unlikely, but in the current political climate, suspension of disbelief is occasionally required.

Someone with photoshop skills should amend that to include “Now Kiss....”

Gosh, it’s almost like he went into the situation completely unprepared and was blindsided by the difficulties. Nobody knew diplomacy with North Korea could be so complicated.

Hijinks? Mishegas?

He generally had no use or interest in his own children until they either graduated from business school (boys) or reached puberty (girls).

Never thought I’d be wishing for Zombie Reagan to come back and knock some sense into his former party.

And the national anthem would be determined season to season by a song competition reality show, with all songs being essentially corporate jingles.

Came here for this.

The Koch brothers have all had prostate cancer, and while they give a small percentage or their money towards research for that of that and other cancers, their overall all efforts to scuttle health care for the poor, and to dismantle any sort of social safety net shows they value lucre over the lives of others. So…

I’ve actually wondered if there could be an inverse relationship, as violent crime has been falling since the 1990's. Was wondering if it was more fun for people to play GTA and similar with no consequences as opposed to doing actual crime.

Bizarre story. Hope they make it even weirder by making their cake decorator take Latin courses.

I don’t know that any of this is that much worse then having someone dosed with polonium or nerve agent. Trump, despite trash talking most leaders, is deferential to Putin.

If there’s one story that is on record like this, often similar stories pop up later on. If he’s going to neglect to tell people who are working for him full time that he has this in his past, then he shouldn’t be running. There’s redemption, and being forgiven, but it’s not crazy to ask for members of congress to be…

Paul Ryan, who has never worked at Home Depot, held it up as a shiny example of things going right in America, especially vis a vis his taxcuts. While he’s leaving gov’t to make more money for less work, his damaging policies remain, and effect the country, so it’s worth discussing. He’s done a huge service to the…
