I mean, prepare to be surprised. The moves they’re making are aligning all of their pawns so when they ultimately unleash heavy-handed tactics, they can point to all of the times they tried to do it the nice way so that their justification is ironclad and will stand up to any court challenges.

“That’s a nice “whataboutism””

I’ve got no issues with Donald Glover/Mr. Gambino, but can we please, please, please not give those boners at Coachella any sort of attention?

that is the sacrifice to the Weed Fairy

Can we start saying “The United States based gang MS-13?”

It’s a ludicrous reach — just look at the trolls around here, who conflate the issue of a “sanctuary city” with immigration.

Oh look a bad faith argument. Who ungreyed this?

I do wish we had taco trucks in every corner. Nothing like real tacos with real salsa and horchata late at night. And when I say real tacos I really mean real tacos, not that bullshit white people call tacos aka taco bell/shell tacos.

While I hate giving the MAGA maggots something good to chew on, at some point you have to call a dickhead a dickhead. They’ll never do that with, say, Roger Stone — and that’s what separates us from them.

Yeah man. They committed acts that are actual crimes according to countries with the power to enforce their laws. ‘War crimes’ are fictions invented by winners to give a pretense of legality to executing the losers. Just because Nuremberg et al. occured under the auspices of morality doesn’t mean that was anything…

Well, Chelsea is complicated, but Assange for sure is a bad one. He’s acted as an intelligence agent to interfere in our elections for the Russian government, he was part of a conspiracy to commit a crime on US soil, he’s critcized the Panama Papers because actual journalists vetted the information they had before…

Look, everyone, I am not saying that William Barr engaged in sexual intercourse with multiple dolphin partners repeatedly while on vacation last summer.  I’m just concerned about it, and I’m looking into it.  That’s all.

I know you’re making a bad faith argument but...

Yes, yes it is.

Sorry mate, just the consequences of your inflammatory rhetoric, you know how it is.

In no version of this thing we call “reality” are you a liberal.
