I’m pretty sure “a total lack of both empathy and education” is a plank in the official Republican Party platform at this point.

Another critical component: the stars were part of the sorting phase of genocide. By contrast, it’s requested everyone wear masks, so the only thing it could possibly be sorting are selfish idiots from people with a functional moral compass and sense of self-preservation.

You know Congressman COVID’s bad when he gets Kevin McCarthy to have a Freudian slip that came perilously close to dislodging his head from the GOP disinformation bubble for a second:

I always knew you Canuks were scheming to oppress us with your strong social safety net.

Woah, I had heard about Barr’s father being tied up with Epstein, but I hadn’t heard about a sci-fi book. What a weird detail.

Right. Got so caught up in my detective work, I forgot that important bit of context.  Thanks for the reminder.

I tend to lean toward the former, since he seems to have reached the “admitting you have a problem” phase on the path to redemption. It’s not the last step on that path, but it’s further than any of these Lincoln Project dudes have come. They seem to be preoccupied with planting their flag on the post-Trump GOP. Consid…

I’ve done my fair share of graphic design and let me tell you, this map isn’t communicating what you think it is, Maine GOP. That is, unless you’re trying to convince the viewer that human traffickers and terrorists are coming to liberate the US from the tyranny in Washington (quite an admission during a Republican…

He also claimed not to know that Trump had praised Roger Stone on Twitter, which is funny, because it was in the damn Mueller Report that he signed off on!  This should result in him being impeached for perjury, but will it?  I’m not holding my breath.

And he’s always been this way and it’s always been out in the open. One of his former classmates wrote a letter to his local paper in ‘91 explaining how Barr used to spend his youth punching hippies, picketing the local fundraiser for the NAACP, and all his other fascist tendencies. This man never should have been…

Hey, no worries! It’s not like it isn’t still relevant.

I can think of exactly one former-Republican that has had a public reckoning upon discovering that *gasp!* the Republican Party is full of Republicans and they played a role in making it that way. You don’t see any of these other Never Trumpers coming out and proclaiming “It Was All a Lie,” like Stuart Stevens.

Yeah, I mentioned yesterday that it seemed intentional to me, somebody intimately familiar with Photoshop. If not, it was so woefully incompetent that somebody should have known better. I broke down the tools I suspect they used to get there in this comment.

I’m fairly certain the manipulation of the nose has nothing to do with the ridges. Without having a bigger image to look at, I can’t tell if those are the result of a filter or if the image was just cut lazily or erased around the edges give it a blocky faux-pixelated look. If it’s the former, the filter is…

Alright let’s break this down, despite your rude tone:

At the risk of exposing my own idiotic tendencies, I’d probably plant them. I’d do it in a pot, indoors and I’d incinerate the remains if they did prove to be something that could be invasive. I’m sure there’s a reason why this is still a terrible idea, but I can’t abide a mystery like unsolicited seeds.

Just be careful not to get a camera from a company that will share your footage with the cops without your permission. Frankly, any camera that sends data anywhere other than my own computer would be a nonstarter for me.

Damn. You’d think a history teacher would at least know that that’s actually what happened before the Trail of Tears. Also, that’s some “sweet summer child” grade naivete for an adult in the Bush-era. It’s not like all this authoritarianism fell out of the sky in 2016.

I thought that was the case. Thanks for helping sort that out.

Ain’t that the truth.
