I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that I used marilyn manson music to settle myself during heartbreak, or going like 20 years not realizing he was an abusive bag of shit from his lyrics.

Yeah, when she mentioned an abusive relationship a few years back, I think a lot of us figured it was Manson due to both the timeline and the age difference. Dita Von Teese divorced him and it was heavily implied she did so because he pursued Evan Rachel Wood while they were married, when Wood was 18.

It is so on brand that Trump’s impeachment trial, which is supposed to be about chastising him and holding him accountable, is going to morph into yet another freak show opportunity to peddle conspiracy theories, recruit conservative terrorists, and raise money from gullible racists. And it blows a huge fucking hole…

It’s weird that head trauma never seems to make people more liberal.

Damn, it makes me wish that “arguments” and “evidence” actually mattered at this trial. But sadly, Trump is going to get a jury that is about 50% his peers: Treasonous pieces of trash who are more than happy to continue licking his boots. I have no doubt that, regardless of whatever she’s said thus far, Susan Collins…

People forget, but there was a period fairly recently where recruiting standards were drastically lowered.

On another website, I read a comment that someone made about the reputation that Trump has among lawyers in New York City, consisting of four words: “Doesn’t Listen. Doesn’t Pay.”

In so much as there was a “plan” for the insurrections to succeed, I’ve thought from the beginning that the plan hinged on most of the Capitol police yielding and joining forces with the insurrectionists. The Capitol police reported a bunch of the traitors flashing their police/military IDs to try to pass.

I know this is gonna sound crazy but maybe if we had a military that didn’t send people out to unnecessary wars, then bring them home wounded and not provide them with good health insurance or job prospects (other than police work and other work requiring the use of weaponry) we wouldn’t be in this mess. Or we’d be in…

Right wing militias and white nationalist hate groups have been pretty open about trying to infiltrate the military and the police forces. Many of these groups encourage their young recruits to join the military in order to get combat training and access to weapons.

Roger Stone was convicted, so I’m not sure Schoen’s track record is too great.

False arguments are fine at trial else lawyers would have no jobs, but it’s illegal to present false evidence or to lie to the jury. Hence we get things like the Chewbacca Defense which is completely legal but ethically indefensible. A good judge would nip it in the bud, but this isn’t going to be a regular trial and…

I have a childhood best friend from my small hometown (I now live in LA) and she has become QAnon etc etc - I sort of had a little falling out from her. Via trying to stay in touch with old friends on FB. I mean, it’s been a long time since we spoke but I felt like responding to some of her increasingly loony posts…

:Monica flies through several houses and across the town before exiting the barrier. There’s no way she could’ve survived this, yet she does.”

Trump wants to form a 3rd party. Okay, what exactly are it’s policies? What are it’s candidates running on?

The Cheney family has been riding this tiger for decades. It’s no shock that it has finally bitten them. I remember how Daddy “Don’t Talk About My Gay Daughter” was happy to use the rednecks’ fear of gay marriage as a wedge against democrats in 2004.  Fuck all of them.

Never thought I’d love to see the day republicans attack Dick Cheney and Bush Jr for being too liberal, but here we are, I guess.

Someone on another site noted that Monica goes through three walls (well, two walls and a fence) before she goes through the barrier.
