  1. (D) Which means take your guns, use a DeLorean to go back and suffocate baby Jesus, employ secret melanin leveling program, and . . . MS-13!
  2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Texas,_2014
  3. Correct. One those obvious cases where it really was execution, not the call, that mattered. We stay on schedule on those 2 drives, and they don’t get within 2 scores.
  4. Wear your Heidi mask.
  5. I didn’t need you to tell me you’re a useful idiot, but thanks.
  6. Me of 2-3 years ago would wonder if the tradcons will finally see the scam once this solid conservative court declined to overturn Roe, but gives the middle class a smooth buttfucking on every economic and civil libertarian issue. Now I know it isn’t really any issue that drives the simple people of th 38%. Their team made the other team cry. Won’t matter that their living standard goes down, or the cops can harass them without cause or recourse.
  7. Aggy’s loss to Clemson could not have gone better. The record will be forgotten but everyone will remember that the refs screwed them. No, wait, that’s not how it works. Records are forever and Justices serve for life. Dems need to match Pub ruthlessness. They won’t, so any moral victory gained today will be pissed away tomorrow
  8. CBS Letterman, so still old people’s humor. NTTAWWT.
  9. And yet you think the old rules of decency, optics and long term strategy apply. They really don’t. Flake found his middle path to preserve his path forward as a Republican, whether as a candidate in 2020, or on Fox, while looking to the pliable rubes in the middle and Reagan Dems that he did the right thing. Doing both always required voting for Kavanaugh. When it comes to Pubs these days and integrity, always bet the under.
  10. Fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd:re:re:fwd:fwd
  11. So now everyone will get the accidental ICBM incoming text, not just Hawaii?
  12. 5th Avenue. Murder. Not lose a single vote. He knows it. We should know it by now. Nothing fucking matters.
  13. One more data point showing that process and political norms will not save us. They will push us til the pitchforks come out.
  14. How will Trump maintain control without the bureaucracy? Will the regional governors now have direct control over their territories? Will fear keep the local systems in line? Fear of the Space Force?
  15. I agree with this. But your posting up to this point has been about mostly irrelevant things.
  16. The federal government ought to be led by a semi-sane person, with oversight by somewhat non-corrupt assholes. But elections have consequences.
  17. I feel like he’s simply a John the Baptist like precursor to a really dangerous lunatic.
  18. He probably thinks Britney treated him “very unfairly.”
  19. Because we care Trump will willingly accede to a Democratic Congress trying to check his lunacy? Because we care he’ll leave the WH if he loses in ‘20? Nonsense. He will do what he wants and fuck our feelings. He will use the Grahams of the world to give his ascension to Supreme Dotard the look of legality, and there’s nothing we can do. All would be revolutionaries are nothing better than twitter jockeys.
  20. I admire your focus on process and attention to detail, Hugo, but the era of American politics in which those things mattered is over. We are one false flag terror attack from autocracy. If Moscow Centre doesn’t succeed in stealing the 116th Congress for the Dotards, I expect they’ll try for December.
