“I feel sorry for this poor woman who experienced a sexual assault that caused so much emotional trauma that it’s led her to mistakenly believe Brett Kavanaugh was perpetrator.”

Surely someone will care enough to do something this time around!

Nice to see someone actually fighting back against disingenuous bad-faith arguments.  If only it happened more often. . .

I found this magnificent mirror put out for trash collection in Brooklyn back in the late ‘80s and have hauled it along with me ever since, now hanging  in the East Village.

That’s not how snakes move.

Here’s a story from 5 years ago (the 10th anniversary of the stunt). A quote: “The G6 still gets consistent use. It’s survived a flood and a multicar pileup, and it’s already outlived both Pontiac and the original Oprah Winfrey Show, which went off the air in 2011.” Oof.

Also, bees! </obligatory>

I am terribly disappointed that the fire hydrant is not spewing water 80 feet in the air and dozens of children have not come to frolic in it. Another Hollywood myth shattered.

Besides the vanity and the old-man technophobia, there’s the fact that it’s Obama-era legislation that’s being rolled back here. Undoing everything Obama did (no matter how small) has always been on the top of Cheetolini’s to-do list.

OMG why are you bringing up things from so far in the past‽ It was 11 months ago! Things were different back then. He didn’t know any better. Nobody did.

Why is this idiot still a thing?

I agree in principle with all of this - we can’t out-right the right, why not focus on turning out those who are amenable to your message, etc etc. However two things:

He was probably a money launderer, or at least a blackmailer. There’s no real proof he handled the investments he said he did.

This seems appropriate. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be allowed to have a job, but it probably shouldn’t be one where he has influence over girls or women.

Probably worth mentioning that the reason Democrats didn’t show up, and the entire reason they were assured there were not going to be votes in the morning, was so they could attend a 9/11 memorial service (I mean, you can just imagine the fucking right wing conniption that would accompany Democrats holding a surprise…

They weren’t at home, they were attending to other government business. When an institution operates on norms for decades if not centuries to see that overturned by crass opportunism should come as a shock. That the Republicans are so callow that it is no longer a shock is besides the point.

I think you missed the point.

“He looks like a crotchety old Republican like you, but he’s a lefty in disguise!”

“don’t let the mustache fool you”

Bush snorted cocaine. Clinton smoked weed. This woman licked rubber and had the unfortunate luck to be born to parents with an interesting sense of humor. I say she should be a shoo-in.
