  1. “Mr. Gorbachev ... how much you want for that wall?”
  2. You can’t just turn it around. If the constitution and the TrumOP machinations within its boundaries leads to fascism, then that’s where we go. Some folks act like we don’t have crises every four score or so that lead us into an inferno and back out again. The last two times (Great Depression/WWII and the War of Southern Treason) we adjusted within the USC, and the USC took on new meanings/got reinterpreted. But the time before that we created a new country. Maybe the country as we know it survives with some structural adjustment. Or maybe Putin wins, and we become something(s) new. But this is really only the beginning stage. As someone said above, I think, this isn’t 1942-5; this is 1932-3. Power hasn’t been consolidated yet. My fear is that a blue wave, even a small one, creates the impetus for the equivalent of the Reichtag fire. If that’s the route the party of trump takes, they’ll be successful. All they need is ~35% of the country to believe their line of bullshit, and the remaining 15% necessary will bring the donuts to the coronation of Grand Pumba Orangetard.
  3. That’s pretty unfair. He’s a tremendous hypocrite.
  4. You would volunteer? Why haven’t you?
  5. The press has been using riffs of "Houston, we have a problem" since Tom Hanks uttered that line. I fully expect, "Texas is/isn't back!/Is Texas back?" to stick around until something catchier comes along to annoy us.
  6. But he's not black, so your points are invalid.
  7. Not much, but here's the short version:
  8. What? You want some fiend with a blunt to be able to get away? You’re gonna force the boys in blue to work on their physical fitness. Every Planet Fitness gonna be grabbed as a forfeiture for official use.
  9. Dotard will continue to somehow surprise some in how low he's willing to go, thought they should've known better for over a year. Dotard enablers will not surprise in how much orange god mushroom knob they're willing to swallow, with a side of doughnuts of course. Mueller, election results, horrible things happening, wailing and gnashing of teeth: WILL NOT MATTER. We will not run out of single malt out here on brisket's ledge, even as we greet newcomers daily.
  10. “Saw that bone! Saw that bone!”
  11. Hell, the DA might not even accept the charges.
  12. Not allowed for us tonight. Joe West out front shoulda told ya.
  13. Did anyone doubt for one second that MLB would fuck us? Only question now is how much more dicking over will we get.
  14. It will be a very fashionable revolution.
  15. I agree with the sentiment, but the those of us over 40 or so are fucked, because no way that kind of justice is meted out when soldiers of the "angry left-wing mob" look like this: We need a new generation of leftists. Ones unafraid to spill a bit of blood, let alone a few drops of their iced coconut milk pumpkin spice caramel macchiato
  16. What is the fascination with folks using the noun “Democrat,” when what is called for us the adjective “Democratic.” Is sounding ignorant a political plus?
  17. Logan’s Run. Released in 1976.
  18. Turnout will have to come from sustained enthusiasm. You can't get that with a stale old white guy. BUT, you do need to appeal to every one of the Dem base's subsets. That also means no Bernie.
