Let’s not make Jen Shah seem positive. She was literally convicted of defrauding the elderly for a decade... and was arrogant about it. She was the leader of the conspiracy. Literally the only reason you’ve heard of her is because she was on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and the only reason she was on that show…

Idiots. “Unless they’ve got a billboard on top of the car, who’s gonna know they’re going somewhere to get an abortion? It’s unenforceable,” and “We don’t even have enough law enforcement here to take care of the business here in Mitchell County.” He doesn’t even know what he passed. It’s not law enforcement that will…

The problem is that on the Republican side, there’s two distinct calculations: what can win in a general election and what can win in a Republican primary. At this point, the more of a right wing extremist and conspiracy theorist you are, the easier it is to win a Republican primary. So, the balancing act for GOP…

Boebert and MTG are like something out of Idiocracy - elected officials based on being social media personalities.

“... as a teen or someone in their early 20's...”
Correction: “... as a 36 year old grandmother...”

That’s the problem with “strict constructionists”. They don’t mean it. They will look at the case in front of them, they know how they want to rule, and then they go back and selectively choose bits of history to justify ruling the way they want to rule. They don’t strictly define “arms” by what were arms at the time…

“theater staff warned the 36-year-0ld grandmother” lol

Performative. She wants the incumbency bump of being selected to serve the remainder of Pelosi’s term in the next election for that Senate seat. And she needs it because she would probably be up against Katie Porter and Adam Schiff, both of whom are probably more popular. I would pick Katie Porter every time. She…

“We are not going to let people be targeted based on their race.” He’s not talking about black people. He thinks white people are the ones who are the victims of racism.  He’s literally using the same language as he uses when describing his “anti-woke” law.

If it’s all ad lib and on the fly, I figure it’s probably not a violation. Even the WGA’s statement specifies writing: “Any writing on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ is in violation of WGA strike rules.” It’s a talk show. She could just have guests on and talk with them about whatever comes to mind - like a normal…

But it’s not episodic tv. It’s serialized stories with continuing story arcs. So, yes, you should probably watch season 1 before watching season 2. The reason people are looking forward to season 2 is because season 1 was good. Your main problem is that there are situations where you are expected to have watched…

Weird.  Thanks.

“If she were a guy, you wouldn’t even hear about it. You wouldn’t even hear about it. You know it, and I know it.” Except today you do hear about it. McConnell is hearing about it, and he’s had fewer public medical episodes, which didn’t keep him from being in DC, than Pelosi and for far less time when they occurred.…

Exactly.  The show hasn’t been on the air for 17 years, and they clearly had more than a co-worker relationship as they were hanging out outside of work and also (after the series) sharing time as families as they both speak of children.

Scientology has a different set of rules for their high level celebrity members. So, whatever the rule is for all other Scientologists, it almost certainly wouldn’t apply to perhaps their highest profile and level member, Tom Cruise.  The special treatment is evidenced by them covering for Masterson with his multiple…

I think it was adding the fact that each of them was covered with a blanket while being perfectly still. I don’t know if that included covering their heads, but if it did, that would definitely look like a bunch of dead bodies if you waited a minute and still no one had moved.

Was that your response to the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl?  If not, what about this situation suddenly makes it “a great way to get shot” instead of a good thing?

It wasn’t foolishness when we were talking about the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl.  No one at all was saying it was foolish for folks to help defend that man.  So why exactly is it suddenly foolishness to ask why folks didn’t help this woman?  What is it about her that’s so different in your mind?

But where did jawn even come from? Some words you can sort of guess how they came to be (e.g. nepo baby and unsee and yeet). But “jawn” to refer to any thing or person you don’t know? I can’t imagine how that just sprang into being.  Hadn’t heard of it until this article.

You know it just occurred to me that the reason DeSantis is so far right is because he has had no negative electoral repercussions as a result of those extreme far right positions in general elections in Florida.  Whatever crazy stuff a GOP candidate says to get the GOP nomination that then gets walked back for the…
