Ehh... While normally I’d be inclined to agree, cotton-pickin’ is pretty low on my list of things that are probably meant to be dog whistles and not just vernacular habits of someone who is, obviously, old.

Well... He was mayor of New York City for 3 terms, so presumably he was pretty popular there.

If Mike really wanted to give us the best possible chance of stopping Trump, he’d have stayed a Republican and would primary him. If nobody runs against him in the primary, I have grave concerns that the Democrats will avoid shitting the bed as they are wont to do on a continual basis.

That’s the one thing I never understand. What kind of work do these people do that they can just up and take off like that? That they both have the time to take off from their jobs, and the money to support them while they’re not working?

Which would be a lovely excuse for Trump to suspend Posse Comitatus and deploy military units all across the nation for “law enforcement operations”.

Have you ever met any servers/bartenders? Like actually known them personally? People who work in the service industry are not exactly known for being fiscally astute. Working a job where you get wads of cash every night tends to do that. A huge windfall like that is liable to leave them in a worse position a year…

Great, I know I for one cannot wait for Space Fern Gully 2, 3, and 4.

Yeah I was expecting some sort of morality play on whether or not it was ethical to buy a car with a known criminal provenance, one that presumably was purchased with illicit money by someone engaged in violent criminal activities.

You forget though that in the first movie Vanessa wanted to sleep with Austin after a night of drinking and he tells her no, it wouldn’t be right because she’s drunk. Say what you want about the crassness of asking people if he makes them horny, but Austin is all about consent.

I mean, depending on how much some of them normally make, if they were getting any sort of public assistance this year, it could be the difference in not qualifying next year.

Not having civics be a requirement in most places is considered a feature, not a bug. Nobody currently in power benefits from an educated, informed, engaged electorate.

No, the problem is while those might be tent pole issues for a large number of voters, the jostling of which issue is most important causes infighting that generally results in little to nothing getting done. Nobody is willing to take a back seat in the short term to get more in the long term.

I am going to repeat it here again for emphasis: If in today’s world, with what Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP are doing to people, if you need to be inspired or extrinsically motivated to fucking go vote, then just don’t fucking vote. Ever. You’re not going to put in even a modicum of the effort to be informed…

Trump makes George W. Bush like a goddamn genius.

The worst part? It will probably work.

Yeah, my gut feeling is that it’s going to be far too easy for a judge to rule that there hasn’t been any actual harm yet as they aren’t in the US and haven’t actually attempted entry.

Which is all well and good, but the Federal government hasn’t actually breached that agreement yet. They may have said they were going to, but they haven’t. And if said minors never enter into US custody, they won’t have, at least where the premise of the suit is concerned in relation to this article.

Oh, you sweet summer child. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. If they want war, they’ll always find a way to have a war.

Have you tried it? I only spent a couple hours with it so far but overall it’s been fun.

What is it going to take for someone to publicly and on the record tell Trump to his face that he’s an utter moron and full of shit? Surely there must be one journalist that’s willing to take one for the team to break his brain fully and completely.
