Don’t forget “Canadian Bacon”!

Maybe it’s because I’m in my twenties but I have literally known no other system except this. Every job I’ve had has either mandated employees to be on call or (in the case of retail work) held the <i>prospect</i> of getting to be on call for managers. The only way you could hope to work the equivalent of full-time

“Don’t forget to shred this later.”

I’m nostalgic for Hastings because it was the only place in my home town where you could actually buy some damn books. You can go to Wal-Mart or Walgreens if you want a book with Joel Osteen’s face on the cover but if you want a copy of A Tale of Two Cities in your hands you better get your ass to the library.

FiveThirtyEight’s still got him at 37% but I guess if you’re Trump you’ve got no problem cherrypicking sources that satisfy your pre-existing viewpoints

I thought I could get around this by redownloading their app that I bought years ago, but they didn’t update it for iOS 11. So, that was a bust. It really is absolutely impossible to read on mobile.

You can’t just go “hooray for you” to pooh-pooh my anecdote and then rebut it with your own anecdote.

With all that winning the Jags are doing, it must be nice leading the AFC South . . . oh. Wait. Not quite there yet. ;)

Obviously, I don’t know for sure how any of this works, but I know if I was Mueller I’d have all those indictments ready to go for sure. He’s only going to get one bite at the apple before Trump fires him. If he hits Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Mike Pence, anyone else in the inner circle, then Trump is going to try

True, true. That’s why I didn’t consider buying Battlefront II, because once they announced that star cards and microtransactions were still a thing, I knew it was going to be more of the same trash that ruined their first pass at the property. Mass Effect I feel less guilty about because those had single player

I wanted to include Bill O’Reilly and his ilk.

I think it was this story that someone mentioned something similar under, but re: which group Trump voters consider themselves more similar to, that also has to do with them thinking they are more likely to gain the money that would necessitate worrying about things like the estate tax then losing so much money that

“Jesus wept.”

These are also the same people who claim that multiple cities in the US today are “under Sharia law.” Which, I don’t understand why they care so much about it. Under (their stereotypical interpretation of) Sharia law, you can force girls to marry older men, stone gay people, teach religious zealotry in schools . . .

Such a good take. Lots of data analysis backs this up. Poor people, on the whole, voted Clinton. The Trump support stemmed from a massive influx of white, middle-class voters who see poor people as leeches.

I understand that a person like that doesn’t want to risk their position but, dude. Just release the tape and put up a GoFundMe page that says “I’m the The Apprentice producer who released the tape of Trump using the n-word and got him impeached. Put my kids through college.” Boom, done.

Reminds me of how right-wing nuts who believe in the Pizzagate delusion always specify that Hillary Clinton herself is molesting girls. It’s only gross if it’s gay.

There’s an effectively zero percent chance that Mike Pence will start a nuclear war.

There is not an effectively zero percent chance that Donald Trump will start a nuclear war.

QED, Pence is better than Trump. In the short term, at least.

“*What the fuck does spending money on “women” even mean?”

If you’re a Republican I assume it means paying settlements for sexual harassment lawsuits.
