Meh, I’ll give them credit for caring desperately. Unfortunately, they also happen to be flaming nutballs with some very bizarre ideas of what constitutes ‘ethical’.

It’s not much different from the sort of thinking that led Ted Bundy to keep heads as souvenirs.

I suppose it doesn’t make any less sense than the notion of a non-denominational Christian.

It’s by design - it’s insane to imagine, but there is a protocol for every possible fucking eventuality. There’s an entire office full of staff whose sole purpose is to keep track of that shit.

I’ve occasionally wondered just how one goes about preparing for that sort of career, and who the hell thinks, “Hey, I’ve…

I’m assuming that she was trying to decide whether her Secret Service detail could take his.

Nah, it doesn’t help. Bitch face = “Well, look at that emasculating c*nt.” Neutral face = “Well, look at that inattentive c*nt.” Happy face = “Well, look at that stupid c*nt.”  

I’ve always had a distinct feeling that much of W’s stupidity was calculated. Oh, he’s definitely not a rocket surgeon, but I’m not sure that he’s as much stupid as he is intellectually uncurious, because he’s never had any need to actually bother with stretching himself. He realized early on that being taken as a…

As much as I like to think I’d have reacted like Michelle or Hillary, I know good and damn well I’d have looked like Bill. All he needed was a bag of popcorn, and he was good to go.

You know, Amazon is such an amazingly useful invention that I really, really want to not hate Bezos so much. I’m not succeeding in the slightest, because he seems pretty interchangeable with your basic comic book supervillain. 

Arabs and Jews are both Semites (a term which has zero to do with religion, even if Americans apparently are unaware of this fact).

My former co-worker’s uncle had an F-16 that he found in a cornfield. The Air Force didn’t take it back because, you know, finders-keepers and all, so he repaired it using spare parts he bought at the Army/Navy store. Yeah...

There’s more than a few overlaps between The West Wing and The Newsroom. The one that comes immediately to mind is the line “Were you distracted by a bumblebee?”

Actually, that’s not correct. It doesn’t matter whether or not you benefit financially from it, because your financial gain is not the issue. The issue is whether your actions could deprive the copyright holder of the full usage and “enjoyment” of the work they own.

There’s also the problem that most decent writers are also obsessive readers, and sometimes that beautiful phrase you can’t get out of your head turns out to have been put there by someone else.

My guess is that Pence would push for him to stick it until, oh, January 25th or so. That would leave less than two years in the term, which would make Pence eligible to run for two more terms. Ten years is plenty of time to bring about Armageddon, right?

I’m thinking that maybe Cohen’s sentence should be “stay until you’re replaced by someone named Trump.” Doesn’t really matter which one.

Not when said discussion involves blatantly ignoring repeated instances that can’t remotely be dismissed as simple mistakes. 

After all, you can’t move the estate to probate if he’s only missing.

Goddammit, now I can add a perfectly good song to the list of things that Trump has ruined for me.

OK, I know that in the scheme of things, this is a terribly minor quibble, but Jesus fucking Christ in a goddamn sidecar, is it really that hard to find a tailor that can properly hem a pair of pants? Maybe ask Macron for a name or something. You never see him walking around looking like he needs to roll up a cuff to…
