Oh! That’s good too!

I think it’s more customary than a requirement.

Not to be picky, but the word is censure (a formal expression of disapproval), not censor (official suppression of speech). It’s a different thing.

Same here. My wife and I talked about this last night. I will continue to refer to him as Cheeto Mussolini. My wife (who is a grown up, unlike me) will simply refer to him as Trump. Neither of us will call him president, because he is not being inaugurated on Jan. 21; he’s being installed. There’s a big difference.

Not just his card. His testicles will also be removed at the gate, and his name will be changed to Nancy.

Yes! My wife, my 11 year-old daughter, a bunch of my law school classmates and their kids, and a busload of people from my church will be in Boston. I’m so excited that Elizabeth Warren is going to be speaking!

Truly. My lefty wife and I have actually seriously discussed the possibility of buying a couple of guns and learning how to use them. A year ago, this was completely unthinkable to both of us.

That’s awfully sinister.

The good news is that if you’re in it for the long term, you can buy low and then hold on to stuff for a decade or so. Assuming humanity and/or the entire global economy hasn’t been vaporized or we haven’t gone full-on Handmaid’s Tale by then, the worst of the crazy should be over by 2027 and you might find a silver…

It’s funny (not funny “ha ha”) that you say that, since I’ve been thinking for the past year that I might be stoned because this cannot possibly be reality.

I don’t have to agree with him, and both of my Senators voted for it, but I’m not going to immediately assume that there is something nefarious going on until I…

Counterpoint: 50 First Dates

My wife and I avoided the possibility of a story like this by not having a wedding party. I think it was quite genius of us.

Thank you for this. I agree completely that without context (what else was in the bill that may have been legitimately objectionable) this “story” is both meaningless and misleading, which is actually quite an impressive combination.

No. He’s not. Tomato troll is at it again...

I’d totally get behind a Warren/Booker ticket. I think they compliment and balance each other’s perceived weaknesses nicely.

Is your SIL really totally unaware that Betsy DeVos has never been a teacher nor a school administrator on any level?

True, but if that were the standard for what makes a good lawyer, half my class and a good portion of the licensed lawyers on the planet would be disqualified.

Knowing her as I do, I feel certain that it was total blissful ignorance. Which doesn’t excuse it, but does make it feel a little less personal.
