“Don’t let Trump blow up the gravy train entirely” is exactly it. These guys don’t mind running that train close to the edge, but they see that Trump’s about to send it over, and this is them urging for Trumpy the Tariff Engine to be cut loose, in order to save their cabooses. These aren’t the people in the…

My handle was a nickname I was given in high school, because I made some kickass pies in home ec. It’s derived from a punk song by Furious George, which was released around that time.

It also helps that, ages ago, I went to culinary school. I’m not a chef (I didn’t go on to apprentice), but I have above-average…

Sad, yes... though I think it’s more telling, specifically. It really says something about the pathetic state of the GOP and the extremist gunfucker culture of the USA, as well as the USA’s hubris (from both politicians and citizens) when it came to the security of its democracy, its institutions, and the mistakes…

Not really. She’s attractive by schlubby, balding old men’s standards. The good, red hair, and a petite and youthful figure, make up for an average face. Besides: I bet she insisted on doggy so that she could avoid looking at this dude’s O face and focus on doing her duty for Mother Russia, and I bet he’d have been…

1) Waaaay too short a potential sentence, given what she has done. There are people serving way more than that for being caught in possession of small amounts of weed, for fuck’s sake... I don’t care how much she cooperates, she’s a foreign agent who made significant efforts to undermine democracy in the USA, which…

I was wondering when the catch to this bill would be revealed!

It sounds like the pre-made dough probably ruined it for you. The ice cream also doesn’t have the dough made just like a high quality homemade one, with the best ingredients. I encourage you to give freshly made, butter-based (I use unsalted), processed ingredient-free, chocolate chip cookie dough a whirl, once again.…

Generally, pasteurized eggs are safe to use raw. The risks are with the unpasteurized ones, like if they’re sold at a farmer’s market or are from a friend’s chickens or something.

Well, he does have a habit of creating problems just so that he can brag about fixing them.

He doesn’t miss her; he misses having things both ways.

Even Queen Elizabeth recognizes that. She’s apparently fond of Doria, getting along well with her.

Yeah... it’s not proving hard for him to turn over the rocks and catch whatever scurries out, so much as the sheer scope of all of the crimes has become a slog. Still, Mueller’s making good time and getting great results, compared to historical investigations. Now if only these assholes would stop committing crimes…

My thoughts have been along these lines, too. He’s such an extreme, malignant narcissist, and claims he hasn’t changed as a person since he was a kid, that I think from a very young age he got it in his head that he was exceptional and already knew best about everything. Being openly inquisitive and exercising the…

Good. I hope that he rots in prison, although I would not be surprised if he gets the death penalty. That would be too quick, though. He should get a solid 50 years (at least) of consciousness, to sit in a concrete box and think about what he has done with his life.

On a pettier note: bless the courtroom sketch artist…

Somewhat better, but still not a great option.

He looks like a sentient potato.

I think it’s more likely a symptom of his extreme narcissism. It’s like he’s compelled to talk as if lots of people everywhere are praising him. It reinforces his grandiose delusions.

Hell’s gonna have to bump Nixon to the eighth circle, to make room for Trump in the ninth!

He never really wanted to win this, although it’s clear that he also didn’t put anything in place to ensure that he wouldn’t win. He wanted to promote his brand and boost his ego with all of the adulation which came from campaign…

“Elect a businessman!” Trumpsters said, “a businessman’s skills are transferable to governing with an eye for a strong economy!”, Trumpsters said.*

*Sentiment translated from Trumpsterese, because I’m not going to hurt my brain trying to mimic their brand of conspiracy theory word salad.

Sounds like Ms. Krabappel, here, finally snapped.
