I was gonna make a joke about the bonafides being too legitimate and reference a knockoff brand, but I ran across this image and am pretty sure I’m gonna have nightmares for a week now. Also, unless I am missing the reference, it is Horatio P. Crunch.

It’s like in a crime drama show, “Okay, I lied to you, but I can’t be the murderer, I was robbing this liquor store at the time.”

I wonder who they’ll choose to philip the position?

Went over to my brother-in-law’s house where he did a 12 hour smoked brisket. His (3rd) stepmom, who is the definition of white trash, came over and proudly announced she brought some A1, pulled it out and put it on his island triumphantly. The reaction was similar to an outsider walking into a small town local only…

I can’t get behind the “just kids” logic

It’s true. Betenyahu...uh, Bibi said, well he said that thing and you should take that instead of being disrespectful.

That would be hilarious. “Oh your not gonna be there? On second thought it does sound kind of fun. Maybe we will go.”

It’s a bit like defining pornography, you’ll know it when you see it. Like polling during the campaign. Polls that had Donald losing were clearly fake polls, while polls that showed him winning, even if it came from an outlet that previously posted fake polls, are real.

I don’t feel like pulling up the inauguration speech so he probably did, but most of his campaign rhetoric was about him being elected being the will of the people and therefore if elected they had greater power. It’s different than saying if he was elected he would change the law and the structure to give the people…

Sort of. It is still debated in academic circles which is why I don’t believe it has completely morphed, but among pretty much every one else it has become akin to calling anyone who doesn’t agree with whatever the current iteration of the Republican party wants as “liberals”, misused but accepted.

Except his schtick was always that him being elected was how people were going to claim that power, not that when he got elected he was going to change any institutions. That’s not populism, that’s just an election.

It’s not populism. I’ve heard this spring up on the talkies recently and no, he is not a populist. Populism has become a catch-all term for perceived grassroots movements, but that’s not what it is. The definition varies as it is still being debated, but nearly every definition includes two points; 1. It encompasses…

Gosh, with the change in deportation targeting increasing the likelihood of soft targets getting picked up and the recriminalization of marijuana, it’s almost like the administration is trying to self-fulfill their rhetoric of the undocumenteds here being violent criminals and the people coming across being drug…

He probably needs a vacation after doing all of this adult stuff.

I fucking hate how the media thinks that giving these bags of dicks airtime is somehow: a) good or b) necessary.

But they are not Nazis because they have not gassed anyone in a torture room, they are just fine letting people die on the streets.

Why? By then human labor will be so cheap and disposable they won’t need to. The argument is to do those things or they will automate.

It’ll matter in the amount of the settlement the city will pay out. Confidentiality agreements can be expensive.

They love military spending, particularly if they own stock in the companies that get earmarked. Troops they endure publicly for the sweet sweet patriotism bump. And some, I assume, care.

Spicer also flubbed an answer regarding deportations too, though it probably won’t get picked up. I’m paraphrasing his response, but he was asked if the lady who used a fake ssn to get a job years ago who was deported was a threat to the US and his response was something to the effect of, “Were not in the position…
