Don’t be fooled. That guy could shoot any one of us in the face without compunction or repercussions.

Read about this over on Wonkette, and holy schamoly. More and more of that ding dang unreliable dossier keeps turning out to be true. I saw this interesting little tweet in the comment section as well:

About ten years ago I was living in a fairly rural area and I was out doing some yard work one day when a large, black dog that I didn’t recognize walked by. It wasn’t one of the neighborhood dogs, and was large enough that I stopped what I was doing and took notice, like “Jesus, that’s a big-ass dog!” before going…

Always a dicey proposition to meet your favorite artists.

Yeah, I’ve made my peace with the fact that, while she wrote one book that I greatly love, the rest of her is complicated to put it mildly. She’s got a problematic track record of understanding contemporary feminist issues, despite The Handmaid’s Tale, and she definitely has a tendency toward the sort of old person…

I can’t get past that I’m rooting for the fucking FBI. What a time to be alive.

Hey, compañeros.

Didn’t someone report not that long ago that using a state court rather than federal court prevents Trump from pardoning the perps?

I’m not sure in this instance since the U.S. attorney’s office is federal, but turning over things to state prosecutors (such as the NY Attorney General) is a good way to circumvent Trump’s pardon powers. He can only pardon federal crimes - not state ones.

“Superstar sports man” is now with a small Double-A baseball team in upstate New York. They used to have the respectable name of the Binghamton Mets, but a couple years ago the city decided to hold a naming contest for the team. So, this year, Tim Tebow, for some odd reason, is in the starting lineup of the 2018…
