Stiffing a caddy does sound like something Trump would do.

You know, Twitter is a terrible thing and the world is probably worse off for it, but gotdamn is it beautiful sometimes.

I don’t think the saying is meant to be transactional, it’s meant to foster empathy. It’s not ‘treat them with respect so they will turn around and do you a solid’, it’s ‘if you put yourself in their shoes, you wouldn’t like that being done to you.’

I agree with everything but the stunned and crestfallen. Maybe for an instant those emotions may have been a glimmer in the eye of whatever swamp creature embodies his soul, but it was immediately crushed by his lizard brain responding to the tone of the reporters voice and knowing he needed to dodge, duck, dip, dive,…

Yeah, the immediate jump to ‘negativity’ is a giant fucking red flag. If someone comes out firing with that it’s safe to assume that they aren’t interested in anything but their own farts opinion and the next words coming out of their mouth are going to be disingenuous and stupid.

I am thoroughly disappointed that in my brief image search I wasn’t able to find Pence photoshopped into a gimp suit. He’s so boring the internet hasn’t even rule 34'd him.

It doesn’t need to be convincing. It just needs to be something Trump* thinks is ‘good enough’ to use as a prop and the propagandists will make it work.

He’s like a more vocal Parliamentarian. Seems like a mix between a Parliamentarian and a committee chair.

Take it with a truckload of salt as I know next to nothing about UK politics, especially the procedural aspect, but people on a different site were talking about it being a potential strategy to run out the clock on a no deal Brexit. I believe Parliament gets recessed (for 6 weeks?) if an election is called, so they…

What was the original “tooootally realistic” estimate that was being claimed for the wall? 11 billion or so? So if this money goes through they’d be at about 45% funding.

And now that they have that order, expect the White House to come out with some new rules for ‘professionalism’.

I’m guessing you’d probably need to start with something slightly more remedial for them, like that Trubisky and Jeffery don’t have an ‘N’ or an ‘S’ in their last names.

The real question: Is a Chocotaco an ice cream sandwich?

Fuck. Yes. Chicken Cheesy Gordita Crunch with volcano sauce. I think I got high just remembering it.

Never had a Baja Chalupa. Is it just a Chalupa with Baja Sauce? I’m not even sure it qualifies as secret menu to just ask them to add it if that’s the case, unless your Taco Bell is run by douche-canoes that are go by the “no modifications” mantra.

I sent my love out into the universe. Shoulda been enough. Where’d all my love go, Marianne? I hope you’ve been keeping records of where you used it.

I’ve got to believe that if you are married to any sort of high level politician, it’s either one of convenience, or you’re so used to being unable to influence them when they’re “on”, you just let them do their thing and either throw yourself into your own work, or slip into a haze of pharmies, alcohol, and banging…

Oh, they love “the troops”, they could just care less about the people that make up the troops beyond how they can pander by praising them in public.
