  1. Please cut Mom’s Social Security check. Maybe that will wake her up. <sigh> Probably not.
  2. When they come for the king, they’d best not miss.
  3. Jesse Watters is laughing.
  4. Like the ones on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry like S. Fred Singer (who I’m happy to learn passed away 5 years ago), Alex Epstein, Judith Curry et al. who deny the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming? I didn’t get the impression that he meant it that way.
  5. A new study? That’s not exactly breaking news. It also fueled the spread of Protestantism which is well documented and not in the least unrelated.
  6. Bullshit.
  7. The original lineup.
  8. That sounds like rationalization. It doesn’t satirize the novel. That’s not how satire works. (And how did you get sold on the excuse that instead of finishing the book the director decided to satirize it? How did he know what he was satirizing if he didn’t read the book? That’s an obvious cop out.) Let me think of an analogy that the illiterati might understand. I’ll use a movie instead of a book so non-readers might get it. You wouldn’t try to satirize Star Wars with a bad remake that omitted The Force, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Jedi Kinghts, and then called it Star Wars. Anyone who saw the original Star Wars would say it sucked. Anyone who said it was satirizing Star Wars would sound like an idiot. ”What happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi? May The Force be with you? Use The Force, Luke?” “It’s satire.” ”No it’s not. That’s not how satire works. What the fuck is wrong with you?”
  9. It’s like he’s not remotely qualified for the job.
  10. Just saw this reported on CBS News Mornings. They gave it about 15 seconds as they read off various top stories. They gave a little more time to the subsequent story of Cardinal Timothy Nolan, archbishop of New York, giving his homily in Canada after his flight to Ireland was grounded due to bad weather, which included video.
  11. I gave out a lot of bong hit tips when I was in school. I don’t recall any delivery driver turning down the offer.
  12. Like taking over Greenland and Panama? He’s never going to do either. The most outrageous stuff he says is just to distract from the other sinister stuff he’s actually doing.
  13. It’s like you’re telling a stray cat to go away while you set out a plate of food. That’s not going to work.
  14. He was also part of the Jan. 6 investigation. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/trumps-feared-doj-enforcer-secret-investigated-jan-6-rcna191796
  15. That’s been Trump’s plan all along. It’s how he thinks it should work. He assumed Eric Holder acted as Obama’s enforcer and was pissed when Jeff Sessions didn’t act as his. He let everyone know throughout his campaign that he was going to use his DOJ as a weapon of “retribution” if he got re-elected. It’s all bullshit. Trump is a criminal. That doesn’t make the DOJ’s investigations into his criminal activity “weaponized.” Maybe he just thought he should be safe because they never went after Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Which they should have.
  16. And choose their sexual partners. Used to be we could just smack them on the head with a club and drag them back to our cave.
  17. He’s worse. He’s a sociopath.
  18. He wishes.
  19. Big water. Ocean water.
  20. Can’t stop at fucking over the legacy of Abe Lincoln. Gotta fuck over the legacy of Teddy Roosevelt too!
