Unfortunately, this type of rhetoric works and far too many benefit from either the cover and virtue it grants or from the “engagement” the outrage drives. There are simply too many vested interests.

“This puts Lake in a three-way race for Sinema’s seat, joining Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego.” I’m going to want to see the math here, as there seems to be several Republicans in that primary (with at least Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb looking like a viable contender) and there’s an amusing fight over Tyson Draper…

If it is at all like it’s wearer, it’s most likely that the “A” doesn’t really stand for anything, at all

Which does make Jez mangling the meaning from a man who is reading (does actively read), to one merely capable of doing so, an affront to the art of (reading) comprehension

Well, if they’re not going to report to a Sleep Shop like in the book, there’s always the Carousel.

“Is there something in the water in Kentucky [...]” This is purely a rhetorical flourish, right?

Drax would have at least offered them in sizes up to 007.

“It’s not as deep as you think.” I imagine this similar sentiments get expressed regularly regarding coke and bone dudes

In fairness, if you’re messy enough to rush into marriages, having the legal system help manage your breakups is probably quite useful

That’s Gaetz’s wife in the back row, being held by his “son” Nestor. So... Maybe?

“[Lara’s] new song, which immediately upon release, was 31st on the iTunes charts” In fairness, if the conservative hype machine went to the trouble of manipulating these charts, the least we could do is celebrate their efforts.

“Feels like the solution you propose has little chance of occurring.” Odd then, that my opening clause and first parenthetical addresses that, eh? Still and all, I don’t see other solutions as so imminent that taking a long shot on processes that can be initiated by the citizenry is less productive than simply…

“This was obviously before [Gaetz] got married.” Obvious to who?

While the ongoing-ish saga of the ERA begs to differ (or at least stresses the difficulty) it is demonstratively possible to amend the Constitution, more or less locking the Supremes (and lower courts) into ruling specific ways on things.

It’s not that there are no twitchy, improperly reactive or bigoted dogs, but this is fast getting into but if you encounter multiple bad dogs, you’re the problem territory. Perhaps it’s the SS agents in question who should be “sent to live with friends"

I wonder how anyone could feel good about cavalierly endorsing handing control (for Kevin levels of control) of the entire federal legislature to the Republicans, when at the time I’m rewriting this point, something like a third of all the latest stories on Jezebel are about the fallout from the last time McConnell…

With all due respect, as I’m writing this, something like a third of the latest stories on Jezebel are about the fallout from what Mitch did the last time he had the majority in the Senate.

Thank you. I had honestly forgotten about the fraud indictment, although given it was filed 8 years ago and they’re still doing pretrial motions, I’m not quite sure the description fits; after all, IOKIYAR.
