You can’t argue with people like this, they’re willing to sacrifice anything and everything that other people have to lose, as long as they don’t have to compromise their saintly integrity by voting for someone who is not their idealized savior. I mean either that, or they’re a right wing troll, but in the end, there’s…

Indeed, from what I understand, hiring people to audit wealthy tax cheats is one of the most effective returns on investment the government has.

Never underestimate internet commenters capacity for not knowing how the US government actually works.  But you better believe they’re going to be very angry that it doesn’t work the way they think it should.

I’d say that the ducks are legion.

Agreed, but if republicans are committed to ramming through a nominee, none of that is going to stop them.  It’s ok to be angry, but keep the anger focused on those that deserve it.

I wasn’t aware of the article in the constitution that allowed supreme court nominees to be blocked by shit on the Capitol Steps. Save your anger for the appropriate targets.  If you want fascists out of your government, then vote them out. If you aren’t going to take effective action on that front at a bare minimum,…

The “argument” that the senate republicans used in 2016 was their majority in the senate.  Shut the fuck up, and sit the fuck down.

Let’s win the senate back first before we get upset at them, OK?

Can’t wait for all the people who have no idea how the US government works get all pissy that the Democrats “aren’t” going to stop the republicans from ramming some ideologue through confirmation.

And as such he continues to do this thing where he straight plays himself

The tubes operate via the Magnus Effect (which is really just a cool sounding term). If you’ve got a rotating object, with air passing over it in one direction, it will feel a force pushing it perpendicular to the airflow. This is how spin on projectiles (e.g. baseballs, golf balls, ping pong balls, etc. ) can affect…

It’s not really a phoniness, more sort of a polite, reserved aloofness.  Probably stemming from all the nordic heritage

And hey, if you’re up there you can also even tour the mine, once we’re out of the pandemic. I’ve been down there twice, once for the mine tour and once on a tour of the neutrino physics lab they used to have down there when it was still in operation.

It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s just that they are shifting into the “we’re not going to get re-elected, so let’s burn it all down before we get kicked out” mindset.

That must be the hot new technique highlighted in Grifter’s Quarterly (Which appropriately makes most of it’s money by fooling people into thinking they’re subscribing to Gentleman’s Quarterly)

What a time to be bereft of Jon Stewart’s crucial voice...

That you have a well developed sense of self-protection

And it’s also the answer to that question as well.

Seriously, conservative ideology will swiss-cheese your brain more effectively than any prion. We need to raise the awareness of Elephantine Spongiform Encephalopathy.

I know what you mean, and in a different context, it’s always strange to hear Krieger’s voice coming out of Ray’s face
