Mike Pence... This Fucking Guy edition. No one does persecution complexes like the religious right. Mike Pence gave the commencement speech at Jerry Falwell’s ultra fundie Liberty University, where he pissed and moaned about how hard it is to be a Christian these days, now that you’re no longer allowed to beat up gay…

“You can do that?”

If you’re suing someone for a million dollars, and they offer you a thousand dollars, and you take it, it undermines your efforts to get what you’re asking for. This is similar.

I’ve been concerned with the growth of the imperial presidency since well before Trump was in office. But I wasn’t as up in arms because the scope is much different. Claiming executive privilege in and of itself is not illegitimate. But in this case it’s part of a larger pattern of stonewalling congressional oversight…

It... Seemed the proper way.

“Conan gets off by proving that he writes hacky obvious jokes that anybody could come up with.”

I know this is a tangent, but I made a better version of The Onion’s joke on Politics Corner last night. I speculated Trump is just too humble to release a report that showed how amazingly innocent he is - it would be like bragging.

Shockingly, you’re wrong on multiple fronts. It’s a less redacted version, and only 6 Dems are authorized to see it. They’ve declined, not because they’re lazy, or they think it wouldn’t be helpful, but because it would weaken their legal case for getting access to the full report and underlying evidence for all of…

The fact you went through the trouble to make a knockoff of my account is flattering, but it undercuts your credibility. If everything was settled, they might be annoyed at the inconvenience of additional testimony. But they’re not acting annoyed. They’re acting scared. And rather than spend a few hours talking,…

Politics Corner - Today in our Continual Constitutional Crisis edition. So, the House asked for the unredacted Mueller report, Barr refused, the House subpoenaed, Trump declared executive privilege, and the Judiciary committee voted to hold Barr in contempt. To explain the legal wrangling, the House has a right to…

Coincidentally, the phrase “he felt it move when he tugged” is found in over 90% of Cap Thor slashfic. At the risk of ruining the innuendo with a relevant Joss Whedon reference, the hammer is his penis.

“Toilets? With what I’m wearing, we don’t need toilets.”

Oh, I can do better than that! You know how *spoilers* Cap goes back in time and marries Peggy Carter? Joe Russo recently admitted that if he could rewrite it, he would have ended up with Hermione.

Wait until they reveal Tony Stark poops in the suit.

I’m happy to see Hemsworth getting work, but I hope this doesn’t interfere with the production of Dentist the Mentalist.

That’s a fair point, but it’s still worth noting that the way he frames it is that Bossie is taking from HIM, the only crime that matters. His supporters being scammed is an afterthought. My main point is that Trump has surrounded himself with so many other conmen (and a couple of conwomen) that it’s nearly impossible…

My money for guest vampire is on Jemaine Clement. He DID write the episode, after all. I hope he just plays Vladislav, from the movie. There’s a lot of mileage left on that character.

Politics Corner - Who’s the Bossie? edition. In a normal presidency, this would be a front page scandal, but in Trump’s America it gets crowded out by so much crazy shit, and the bar has been lowered so far, I expect most Americans will never hear about it. That’s a shame. Ok, here goes.

I’m surprised too, I’ve been worried it was going to get cancelled pretty much since it started. But I’m mostly just grateful.

They used CGI to replace it with a period-appropriate walkie talkie.
