    Someone, I forget who, noted that this “voting my conscience” bullshit is the exact opposite of conscientious behavior. Conscience is what makes you serve the greater good by doing things that may or may not actually be personally gratifying to you.

    Remember, it’s a FACT that Hillary has a secret assassination squad that has killed dozens of people who politically opposed her.

    No, he really doesn’t. Comey clearly thought he wasn’t violating the Hatch Act; one can disagree with him on that point, but the notion that he hadn’t thought about it is laughable. At any rate partisan activity has to be pretty explicitly partisan in content, not just effect. He went against DOJ protocol, yes, but

    Harry, muh man, I know you think you’re helping, but you’re NOT. FUCKING. HELPING. Jeebus, Comey may be an omnishambles toolbag at the moment but he’s also a lawyer and veteran federal employee who does not need to be taught Hatch Act 101 again.

    Moshe, you’re doing God’s work. First the Red Sea, now this--quite a résumé.

    Kaine would get to nominate someone, who would then be subject to confirmation by both houses of Congress, so he would not, in fact, get to appoint anyone.

    Unless they impeach Kaine. Then they get Ryan and a constitutional crisis, both of which suit the GOP juuuuuust peachy-keen fine.

    Ames, just... no. Move on, kiddo. You can be funny, I’ve seen you do it, hell people pay you to do it--go ahead and focus on that, cuz social commentary is, well, not your thing.

    Meanwhile, a guy who guessed a password correctly and maybe goofed up baseball drafting a bit got 46 months because that’s how our priorities work, apparently.

    Calm down, kids, they can BOTH be the Shkreli of Congress.

    Peaches great, tomatoes terrible--I’m not seeing a problem here. Thanks, Obama, indeed!

    But Lord Xemu said I shouldn’t play with E-Meters!

    I... don’t understand anything that’s going on at all, and it’s making me uncomfortable.

    They’re actually playing it both ways this time; some techs/civics have more than one quote tied to them and spin the ol’ RNG to decide which one gets read at you by a Yorkshireman.

    Oh, well done. Though even with 30 tries it’s still gonna be really hard for him.

    Please. She went up to his hotel room with him. That is certainly an indication that she is open to something. A billionaire invites a porn star to his hotel room, do you really have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what he wants? He kissed her, he didn’t rape her.

    As if. Porn performers don’t get residuals, though Drake has been with her studio long enough that she should have an equity stake.

    No doubt, which is probably why she didn’t say anything at the time; it was just Asshole #14 propositioning her that day. Assholes #1-13 aren’t running for president, though.

    Special forces operatives kill people for a living; doesn’t mean they’ll take kindly to being offered a hit contract. Circumstances matter.

    The Trump campaign denied Drake’s allegations, claiming they were orchestrated by the Clinton camp to defame the Republican nominee.
