The problem is that any replacement made by a Democrat senator would only be in place until a special election is held in 2018. And the thing about Minnesota is that when Franken ran against a Republican in 2008, he just barely won after a protracted and litigated recount process. 2018 is also an off year and happens…

Can it be said one more time? The vile smearing of Corfman is why women don’t report being assaulted.

The judge overseeing that case will be a Trump appointee.

Minnesotan, here, who is finding it hard to get too worked up about Franken. Does what he did make him an asshole? Sure. Does it make him a predator? I don’t think it does. That picture is the work of a jerk who thinks he’s funny because he’s blind to his male privilege. The grab-ass... that’s more creep-ish, though I…

He has no idea what reality is. I would continue, but its pointless.

And because everything can’t be terrible all the time.

GIF post time, because, as I said on a different post, I’m out of words.

My honest-to-goodness first thought upon seeing that was that was legitimately the best use of my tax dollars the Trump Administration has yet come up with. I’m not kidding.

I cannot help it, I find badly-drawn penises to be HILARIOUS. I saw this on Deadspin and laughed my ass off. Even more so when I thought of the pearl-clutchers trying to shield their kid’s eyes from the “naughty cloud”.

Titanic has been mastered in some new Dolby technology. It’s being screened in both 2D and 3D. Perhaps the ocean is even more life-like, the sound of splashing even more acutely reminiscent of a toilet’s flush:

Season 2/3 was the peak. Its started going downhill during season 4. I was a huge huge office fan. I’ve watched season 2 so many times but there are still episodes from the last 2 seasons i haven’t seen yet.

The last few seasons were almost unwatchable IMO. During my many, many rewatchings of the series, I basically pretend that the show stopped after season 5.

Memo to cable news: Right now IS the moment to politicize the “gun control debate.” And nobody wants to hear “the other side” of the argument from this venal sociopath today:

Because their voters don’t care about that, or much of anything else. I would argue that the vast majority of Republican voters are single-issue, whether it’s anti-abortion/pro-theocracy/pro-gun/anti-muslim/pro-wealthy tax breaks/etc, and that drives their vote. Couple that with a deeply embedded hatred for the…

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

Republican isn’t a political party any more, it’s a cult, a social identity. Everyone at her church votes Republican to save the unborn. All her friends and family vote Republican. A corrupt, vile Republican is always preferable to the most saintly Democrat.

Christ, if I had a nickel for every time a man conflated the potential for an “innocent” man to be accused of harassment or assault with the actual harassment or assault experienced by women, I would be richer than Donald Trump pretends to be.

This would be a perfect episode of The Grinder. Man, I miss that show!
