Yeah, I guess a lot of them are just opportunistic and don’t really care strongly about the outcome one way or another. If Democrats win, they get to attack them with the fucked up situation Trump left behind from a minority position, while obstructing anything that could fix the damage. If Democrats lose, then it…

Interesting. I guess most of them figure their seats are secure enough to get away with absolutely destroying America, starting with their constituents, and still get reelected. I wish I could say they were wrong about that. I guess I’m slightly more surprised they don’t want to keep their endangered allies in office…

I see where you’re coming from and I suppose that was the thinking from Democratic leadership. I do think having the process opened mattered, though. While he was being impeached, it would have been an order of magnitude more unthinkable if he had done more crimes he was already being impeached for. I think even the…

This is at once pathetic and probably the finest work of art I could hope to view today.  Amazing.

I was similarly confused by that. Clicking through to the CNN article, there’s a picture of the market and it’s a very small space. The article mentions that they’re planning to move the building so they can incorporate it as part of a larger museum somewhere else, not build a museum on that spot.

Yeah, I really don’t fully understand what their motivation is here. Are they confident that fascism will prevail and they don’t have to worry about defending their seats because they’re sure they can steal the election? Are enough of them really true believers in the reaganite farts they’ve been sniffing for 40 years…

I think that’s a pretty solid assessment. It’s possible the best hope to protect the election would be something like the Orange Revolution, but I have a hard time seeing people mobilizing on that level, if elites aren’t sending some pretty strong signals that it’s really needed (i.e. by blowing this shit up in the…

Oh it certainly could be, along with probably hundreds of other things he’s said and done. I think the Democrats made a pretty big strategic error in choosing to bum-rush impeachment. As long as the process was ongoing, the public scrutiny created a check on some of his worst impulses. We really should have dragged it…

Yes! More of this!

I really appreciate how she’s keeping her eye on the prize with the call to fund the post office. It’s very likely what this election will depend on and even Trump, who can’t help but say the quiet part out loud, knows it:

Yup! The high school is literally named WaMoGo, which almost sounds like it could have been an indigenous name and arguably made the Native American warrior mascot we used even more fucked up and offensive (it’s nothing if not a little backwards out here).

Ah, that clears things up! Thanks, I had missed that particular episode. Geez, just five more passengers on the midnight train to full cuck for ol’ Ted (possibly still my all-time favorite Kinja article, because sometimes I am petty).

That seems, at best, an oversimplification. If you’re counting on your VPN to provide you total anonymity, as some people might think, then no it does not do that (nothing does that). And, yeah, there are some honeypots masquerading as VPNs that are snake oil. As with most purchases (especially services), you need to…

If you really don’t want to see the ads, you can always get a VPN that puts your IP address in Europe. As far as the internet knows, I’m in Luxembourg where the privacy protections are greater and there’s no reason to send me political ads.

Yup, that’s exactly where Morris is; right next door. Usually, I have to name Litchfield or Torrington before I’ve hit a nearby landmark somebody recognizes. We’re also across the lake from Rowland’s hot tub crime machine, if you recall that episode from so long ago.

I get the impression his main societal role these days is “very public jackass.”  But I’m hardly the best person to say.

Yeah, sorry, that was what I was trying to get at. Their predictions have already fallen through and they’ve just evolved and proselytized. When their figurehead falls through, expect more of the same.

I literally live down the road from a place called No Man’s Land Swamp!  That’s how small a dot on the map I am.

Wait, how did I miss this? I’m deeply ashamed to ask to for details, because everything about that assertion hurts my brain, but I need to know.

We can only hope. Losing the Senate would actually be impressive considering the general Republican advantage there.
