It’s very simple. These people are now in an actual death cult where they’ve convinced themselves that dying is a worthwhile sacrifice to make if it helps The Economy which in turn will further the main goal which is Salvaging the Trump Reelection Campaign.

Awww....

No of course. Sorry to have insinuated that you insinuated. I didn’t mean to take an adversarial tone with you and I hope I didn’t.

I’m not surprised he said it aloud, and I don’t think his base will resent him for it. Much of his base want to and absolutely do believe that he is in fact smarter than they are. It’s how they’re so willing to put so much blind faith in a narcissistic grifter.

And (child of the 80s here) The Beat and Squeeze were British bands who had to label themselves The English Beat and UK Squeeze respectively in North America because there were already bands here using those names. The US “The Beat” and “Tight Squeeze” were not well known acts, but nevertheless the much more…

I made the acquaintance with a lady who had sold jewellery at Tiffany’s in Trump Tower. She told me that Melania was very nice. I wish I’d been able to get some juicy details about the tryst with the security guy, but she seemed to likely be a loyalist.

Almost as bad as Peter O’Toole.

I mean, only Orangey Bunker would use Twitter as a dictionary app, so it checks out.

Plot twist, though: Shakespeare didn’t actually write his plays. They were composed by Sir Walter Rowling...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t your vote count in the Democratic primary? It is my understanding that delegates are apportioned based upon the percentage of votes received for a given candidate. So as long as your candidate receives over 15% of the vote, your vote does count, even if she or he “loses”. And if…

I’m not particularly a Biden fan. I’d prefer Sanders as president myself. But I agree that painting Biden as suffering from cognitive decline is quite unfair and untrue. I think everyone who makes that argument ought to read the article published recently in The Atlantic about Biden’s history with stuttering. It makes…

You are so right. And I’ll tell you what always works out great for Democrats: nominating the vice presidents of presidents who didn’t die while in office. Loved the Gore, Mondale, and Humphrey administrations.

It was too little too late though as Bolton’s book was already being printed when this happened.

If you read beyond the well known 99% stat (93% in the US in 2012 /99% in Canada excluding Quebec – per Wikipedia), the details are more interesting. Because the Japanese system of justice is different from the US/Anglo common law system, it’s not quite apples to apples. For example (quoting from Wikipedia):

I mean, sure, I get what you’re saying. But I was a juror on a criminal trial recently and I’m a bit sensitive to these issues. No matter which way he’s ultimately going to vote, I’d much prefer senators to say what he said rather than some version of, “I’ve already decided he’s guilty” or “This is all a Democrat plot…

Did I hear him say that wind emits fumes?

Just as most of us here are right to be outraged by Mitch McConnell saying there’s no way Trump will be convicted in the Senate, it’s also right for Doug Jones and other Democratic senators to reserve judgement until they hear the evidence presented in the Senate.

Right? Just reading the headline made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Toilets are really not a problem for a man who wears diapers.
