For the life of me, I don’t understand the conservative obsession with whining about coverage for pregnancy. I’ve got a former co-worker who makes that same argument constantly. Last time she trotted out the “I’m not going to have another baby so why should I pay for the insurance?” I just could resist pointing out…

At the age of 78? I don’t think so. Hell, I don’t think he’s going to last that long.

Fun thing about executive privilege - not only does it not have to be formally waived, it doesn’t have to be waived at all. It has to be invoked, so until the president actually claims a conversation is privileged, it is legally  not privileged.

We had a preview of that already. Bannon, Jr, Hicks and all others used that during congressional hearings.

Please, may we release this into the wild? 

It was passed on a voice vote, with no one voting “no,” so yes, it was unanimous. 

And which isn’t going to happen, because there is no realistic way to remove both Trump and Pence simultaneously, which is the only way to get to Pelosi. It doesn’t matter whether Trump or Pence went first, whoever is sitting in the Oval Office would be able to name a new Veep. 

Except what would happen would be the same thing that happened when Reagan decided that a mass firing would be a good idea - hiring not nearly as many people as actually needed and lowering standards repeatedly until you can find enough warm bodies. You lose the talented, experienced people that you had, and the ones…

But hell, even Uncle Keef gave up pretty much everything but his weed and his bourbon at least a decade ago. Apparently almost killing yourself falling out of a tree is an attention-getting experience.

I’m sorry, but you should be aware that it is a death penalty offense to ever speak that name anywhere in the vicinity of anything remotely related to Kansas City.

The problem is that there are actually two separate legal issues at work here, and trying to mash the two together definitely causes problems.

Management cannot only make such a request, they are actually the sole decision-maker in that regard - an officer cannot arrest someone for trespassing if the person who has legal authority for the property says that the party in question has permission to be there.

Not in Iowa, it wasn’t. Geographically, he makes no sense.

So in other words, you’re not just an asshole, you’re a flaming hemorroidal asshole. Cool, man. 

I have to admit, I’ve wondered whether his behavior continuous to get more outrageous simply because he is desperately trying to get thrown out of office (without the potential for actual criminal indictment that exists with Mueller) so that he can go back to his previous cushy life without having to admit that he…

It boggles my mind that these wall-loving idiots that insist that we desperately need their monument to stupidity because surveillance and technology won’t work can’t seem to comprehend that the only way their wall will accomplish anything is if you put the surveillance and technology in place to catch people who come…

Erecting a wall would require a lot of site work, not to mention getting the land to even build it.

It also greatly increases the amount of time that has to be served before someone is eligible for parole, and if I’m not mistaken, the length of time they’ll be on parole once it’s granted. Despite the wails and gnashing of teeth we often hear when parole is mentioned, it’s actually a good thing. Or at least, it is…

The office of President has never been decided by majority vote. Stop saying that like it matters. It doesn’t.

Oh, good lord and sweet baby Jeebus, can we please stop with this “former felons” bullshit?
