Hopefully by the time the arsonist has given some Good Morning Murika interviews we’ll all understand that he is a good guy who was trying to do the Christian thing here.

OMG! You don’t know if the arsonist captured on the security camera really had criminal intent in his heart on the basis of just one image without a ten minute video providing context! Anyway, what if the restaurant deserved to be burned down?  You’re doxxing this blameless young man!

Aldi’s has chairs for their cashiers, but I think that’s because they’re a German(?) company.  It’s sort of amazing to me how much Americans pride ourselves on not taking shit from anybody, but then creating and following rules like “you’ll stand all shift with no bathroom breaks” and treat it as inevitable.  

I have enough self-awareness to recognize that it is a comfort to blame Putin for financing the rise of nationalist right wing groups around the world, and that the alternative is believing that the whole world simultaneously decided to go to hell because people are intrinsically bad. 

I love how Stone kept insisting “I won’t bear false witness against Trump, I won’t tell lies to get a reduced sentence!” Dude, no one wants you to lie: we want an honest confession. Stone’s statements can be true while still sinking Trump. 

They’re subsidized by billionaires who want a mouthpiece for their vitriol, and they make money running ads that fleece rubes with prepper food buckets and snake oil cures.  Splinter/Buzzfeed don’t really take an editorial stance that there’s a race war coming and that’s why you need to buy a Dyson vacuum from amazon. 

The comics “went to that well” in John Byrne’s reboot, shortly after Superman makes a porno with Mr Miracle’s wife Big Barda.  It is a shitty, gimmicky story that bad writers who don’t particularly like the character employ(interestingly, Byrne also had a retcon explanation for why the Superman logo wasn’t an S, but…

Instead Zod says “This ends when I kill you or you kill me” and Superman says “Okay, I’ll do what the villain in this movie wants.”

Okay. Imagine the same scene, but Superman clamps his hands over Zod’s eyes. They’re burning, it’s painful, Superman is screaming and Zod is screaming. Zod dies from burning out his heat vision trying to force it through Superman’s invulnerable hands, and Superman suffers to save the family in question. Zod still…

The best part is that about a page after Lex tells Clark he likes him because Clark is everything Superman’s not, Clark takes off his glasses and screams at Lex, and Lex just can’t see it.  

The thing is, if there’s an argument between “do nothing and allow bad things to happen” versus “show your power and people will fear you,” then the third way, the solution that has been present for 80 years is “Be Superman.” Be a colorful, hopeful character that stands up for the little guy and protects everyone.

Faora: “For every human you save, we’ll kill a million more.”

“There is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president,” Stone said, “nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself.”

Roger Stone got arrested by FBI agents in full battle-rattle and Trump caved on his shutdown nonsense in response. What do you think the odds are that he got a phone call reminding him that his Secret Service guys weren’t going to protect him from other Federal agents?  

Well, did anyone think Manafort’s hair was naturally the same color it was when he was 35?  

“I think we can tell what the State of the Union is, thanks.”

Trump ate the magic beans

“What a crappy day, Stone arrested , Trump caves , why don’t they just kick me in the nuts over and over and over , with a loud speaker of Hillary cackling in the back ground, cant get any worse.”

Was Mooch in Guys and Dolls, or was this a gay Monsignor outfit for the Met Gala?

“She won the popular vote, the recession is her fault!”
