Yes. There’s a (an even more) disturbing side to Libertarians where their answer for every complicated problem is really, “Survival of the fittest!” (Because they, and I can barely type this because I’m laughing so hard... they think they are the fittest!) They want to watch the plebes battle it out from the comfort…

It was like Idiotocracy!

After that comes, the PANTSUIT!!

Yes, exactly. Newt has never, ever questioned himself nor felt a pang of guilt.

That’s disturbing that he could get away with that. I mean, he gets away with everything, but still.

Don’t say “Remember Al Gore?” Say, “Remember Bush????!!! Exactly. Everyday a new cringe. That could happen again but with worse Patriot Acts!” We were all limping to the polls in ‘08. That’s what you have to remind people!

Oh, if Sheryl Crow thinks this is a good idea ...

You are correct, except that Weld personally can’t work with anyone. His ego is infamous and he burned a bunch of bridges back in the 90s. He let in the more rabid Republicans.

When!? Immediately after your ultra-conservative upbringing and you’ve just been released from Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne’s bunker after 3 years? There’s a whole world out there of tampons, pants, contraception, bicycles ...

Yeah, as a longtime resident of Massachusetts, it’s been vaguely interesting for me to see Weld do this because when he was governor in the mid-90's he just quit, ostensibly to accept a job as ambassador that his people claimed then president Clinton mysteriously rescinded, somehow leaving Weld high and dry. Weld made…

Haha, I have seen that, too! I’m basically attracted to introverts and probably most of the guys I’ve dated would categorize themselves as somehow “socially awkward” though that’s a wide spectrum. I’ve gotten to the point where I want to ask, “Yeah, yeah, you say you’re socially awkward, but do you have rage issues or…

Exactly, that right there goes a long way in keeping the truly sickening guys like Jared under the radar. It isn’t like he or Sandusky came home from trips reeking of baby powder and with UnderRoos spilling out of their suitcases. (Sorry, I’m not trying to make light of something awful, just kinda venting about how…

You see, to ME the real issue is, did he for real actually gain weight in prison?? Because, that’s the goddamn scandal!

I would think that someone committed to not getting caught would really work on appearing like a good or adequate spouse too, just because they are in fact, a fox in the hen house. It’s like in the cases of serial killers spouses: one might suspect their spouse of cheating but who the hell imagined a basement full of…

Low FODMAPS diet helped me a great! The bloat went away and I can see my feet again!

So well put!

I don’t know what to say you anymore. You clarified what you would have liked to have said in your OP, and based on that, I would have edited my reply @Salad Peasant but like you, I can’t edit it now.

It wasn’t frustration at being offended, give me more credit than that. If I were just interested in being offended I would not have seeked a conversation with you. It was a legitimate interest in where you saw the difference and yet couldn’t see the humor in one but did with the other.

But if you don’t see the the humor in one, why is the other funny to you? That’s why I didn’t understand your distinction and that’s why you’re getting so much blowback here. It sounds like you’re taking the subject matter literally in your OP.

I would adjust that a bit and instead cast Donald as the surprisingly vile but average in every other way best friend of the class clown or something like that. It’s literally taken him a lifetime to get this much attention (too bad it didn’t take longer, I know!).
