  1. At this point, taking that job is like being the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. It’s a desperate state of existence with no hope for success because the guy who pays your salary will constantly undermine you with his delusions of grandeur and goofy-assed bullshit.
  2. Only if there are no new developments that week in the Georgia case…or the New York case…or the Florida case
  3. Right it’s my understanding that the next season of Game of Insurrections is supposed to air sometime next month and I’d imagine they could squeeze the third and final installment prior to the swear in date. If they wanted to be as petty and vindictive as their lunatic partners in that Animal House known as the Trump faction of the GOP, they should announce the issuance of their final report on January 3rd mere minutes before the term(s) of Kinzinger and possibly Cheney expire.
  4. This. Exactly this. When your defense of the position “nothing will happen” revolves entirely around “he isn’t in prison already, so it’ll never happen,” you really don’t have any real permission to argue that this isn’t about impatience.
  5. Add Carlson to that list as well.
  6. No, you’ll be dead in an hour if any drinking game is based on Herschel Walker saying something grotesquely stupid.
  7. Uh, what do they connect to, Dave? ”God” Whose God? ”The God of the Bible” The same God of the Bible that says a baby isn’t alive until it’s taken its first breath? ”uuuhhh” The same God that says until that moment, it’s literally a part of the woman’s body? ”wtf???”
  8. I would ask him a series of questions where I know he’s going to assert the fifth, then immediately say “theguiltymansaysfifth?” a la
  9. Shit even Mark Fuhrman answered a question when he was recalled. I mean the question was “is it your intention to assert your fifth amendment privilege with regards to any question I may ask you?” But still, he answered it.
  10. They were great at putting huge scores on bad teams.
  11. 1982 Penn State Yeah I get that Texas fans hate SMU and certainly have no sympathy for the Express teams, but here’s the deal: Penn State got fucking whacked by an 8-4 Alabama 42-21 in the middle of the year. SMU then decides to opt for a tie against Arkansas because it gave them the outright conference title (Texas wins the SWC if Arkansas wins that game), and yet they were punished for that in the polls the following week as PSU jumped over them? Nah fuck all that. Not at all saying that was worse than some of the aforementioned in the thread, but they belong in the conversation.
  12. Only if it’s being orchestrated by Jimmy. Fuck Jerry
  13. I’m gonna demonstrate how stupid we’ve gotten as a society. Snob! Socialist! Beta Socialist! Oh goddamn there they go with them “roads” again! Commie! Go move to France, faggot Devil worshipper! Tree hugger We have that already! Theres no racism here. No nepotism. This is a meritocracy! He’s trying to steal elections! Tax-and-spend democrats! This is the one you’ll get little to no resistance on, yet this is the one Republican political candidates believe most in, and there are so many who both 1) do not agree with the idea of corporate personhood and 2) cannot wait to vote for candidates who do. Well ya have book learnin’ but no common sense.
  14. Doesn’t everyone know that the Silk Road has very long bridges…made from silk?
  15. He probably will file, but will subsequently withdraw just like he did with Bill Maher.
  16. I literally know people who insist that “freedom of religion” as read in the first amendment is supposed to be interpreted to mean “freedom to choose between denominations of Christianity.” They won’t say it out loud, but whenever they say “freedom of choice,” that’s supposed to mean “freedom to choose between the choices I give you.”
  17. Dude, they believe in bullshit and they need to constantly validate that belief so as to not shake their fragile “confidence” in it. Every fallacy that can be used to justify this behavior has been used, and every argument that has been used to justify this behavior is fallacious. The biggest ones they use are false equivalence and projection wherein they make believe that they’re the victims of persecution. They pretend “evolutionism is being forced down our throats against our will,” “prayer in school is illegal,” “conservative political thought isn’t allowed,” etc…all while simultaneously trying to force “intelligent design” into biology courses, reintroducing the nation to compulsory prayer in public schools, and passing all sorts of laws banning the teaching of so-called “critical race theory.”
  18. In the words of Chibatta Mitch, if I had to do anything, I wouldn’a did that.
  19. I would imagine that if they were in a group discussion of 3+, they’d be going like: ”Guys we need to be supportive of one another and we shouldn’t disparage each other with derogatory comments and nasty epithets that accomplish nothing but to divide us, which allows the homophobes to have an easier time in marginalizing us.” ”Even guys like Christian Walker?” ”No, he’s a total fag.”
  20. My bad, you’re correct. So to answer your amended question, I’m sure there may be this or that Jewish person who believes that life begins before breath, but that’s not what their religious text tells them and I would assume that by and large, that’s not what they believe.
  21. Yes. I could cite this again (way upthread), but Jewish law holds that for the first 40 days of gestation, what’s growing inside the woman is mere fluid (most commonly referred to as water). After that and until it has breathed the breath of life (day 41-birth), it’s considered to be a part of a woman’s body (most commonly referred to as a “thigh”). And speaking of the thigh, that’s exactly why that passage about the Test of the Unfaithful Wife in Numbers 5 is sometimes mistranslated to say that if the wife has been unfaithful, got pregnant, and drinks the potion “her thigh will rot and fall away.”
  22. And why would anyone think Donald Trump, of all people, was the person to be trusted to end all of it?
  23. As to this NC shit: Except it isn’t. In fact there’s not a single OB/GYN that would argue this. Historically speaking, religious fanatics and republicans haven’t been very good at the whole science thing and really should stop using definitive phrases like “indisputable scientific fact,” especially when the less disputable a scientific fact becomes (i.e. Darwinian evolution, anthropogenic climate change, etc), the more they resist accepting them. Yeah? And what’s gonna happen to that “baby” when it’s only in its 12th week of gestation and its mother just got blown away by an AR-15? See even blue states have laws that say when you murder a pregnant woman (or injure her to the point where she has a miscarriage) when she has the intention of carrying the child to term, that’s double murder (or manslaughter if the mother survives the attack). So if this “defense killing” kills two people, do you charge him with one count of homicide or two? And if they charge just for the mother and he’s able to argue defense of others…what’s the legal status of the fetus at that exact point? I mean it’s either a person or it’s not. I have my own take on that issue, but you can’t go back and forth like that without looking like total idiots and/or hypocrites, not that they’re likely to care at this point. And if it is the case that the murderer would only be charged with the killing of the mother and can argue defense of others (i.e the unborn fetus he killed while defending it), congratulations NC, you just took a softer position on murdering pregnant women than blue states have!!!
