If either of them do it just shows they’re career above nation.

The real problem here is that you’re obviously too stupid to read. Until Rivera has had his day in court, the crime was allegedly committed by him, dipshit.

Huh? The allegedly there isn’t positing she might not be dead. It’s a standard way to describe someone who has been accused of doing something, but who hasn’t yet admitted to it or been adjudicated to have done it.

And, no matter how much moaning of “Ohh, this SUCKS, nothing will ever happen, everything’s useless anywayyy, like why is the media making suuuuch a big deal out of it??” we hear from the Splinter bloggers-- I am focken HERE for all this big news. This is an avalanche that started out as pebbles and is already…

I think his argument against flipping was that anyone could theoretically say anything (true or untrue) to get a lighter sentence, so it shouldn’t be allowed. The whole argument made no sense and made Dump sound even more stupid than usual, but that was the gist.

The snake oil Trump is trying to sell to his base is that “flipping” is agreeing to tell whatever story the Deep State wants for their Witch Hunt, and not the tried and proven practice of criminals agreeing to lesser sentences to provide evidence for larger or more serious crimes.

Penis.

While I’m hopeful this doesn’t just peter out like all the other times when it seemed like Trump would get the shaft, I also can’t say willy-nilly that Pecker’s admissions will result in dick.

This administration sure is highlighting how lucky we’d been up until now despite all our complaints about government waste and distrust of politicians in general. Now we’re actually seeing what corruption, waste, misappropriation of funds and incompetence looks like. I hope we learn something from living through this…

I’m sorry but even if you have the tiniest shoulders you shouldn’t wear that hideous, stupid top.

Yeah, I really don’t understand the whining. It’s called math. And guess what? If the Dems can’t bring one Repub over (and they can count, y’know), it is a totally sensible and helpful move for vulnerable Democratic senators to approve Kavanaugh to help with their re-election for the purposes of, wait for it,…

“Senate Democrats are working to delay confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. I’m sure they’ll pull this off successfully because they are good at holding to their commitments.”

okay, that’s just wrong

This outcome would condemn this country to further abuses—and particularly abuses directed toward marginalized groups.

It is not, in other words, an outcome I am willing to countenance.

These kids want to do the “I’m above it all” thing, and make a point of disagreeing with this-or-that press event and its significance. Problem is, it makes you look INCREDIBLY stupid to pretend to be “above” your president becoming an unindicted coconspirator, or to be “above” an historical event during which a…

The president has done nothing wrong. He has not been charged with anything. If he were charged with a crime, then maybe he would have done something wrong. But he has not been charged with a crime. And by the way, he cannot be charged with a crime. So he most obviously has not done anything wrong. If he does…

I want to like Splinter, as I was a big fan of Gawker-proper, but there’s just so many of these kinds of posts. Katherine had a post last night basically telling Twitter to chill out about the Manafort/Cohen news, because while it’s important, the news media was over-hyping it. IT’S A HUGE FUCKIN’ DEAL, MAN.

Honestly, the “only people of unimpeachable moral character are allowed to have any function in public spheres” thing reminds me a lot of how I used to think when I was, oh, twenty or so.

It’s really easy to look at the world as containing only “right” and “wrong” when you’ve never had to weigh ethically difficult…

The strangling part is what makes me the sickest. That’s a really intimate way to kill someone, looking at their face while you feel the life go out of them. Truly heinous.

That’s because Trump hasn’t ever had any real loyalty to anyone but himself. People are only ever useful to him for what they can do for him right now - just look at how many contractors, business partners, and investors he’s screwed over in the past.
