  1. God Bannon is just a dumb drunk nihilist shitbag. Anyone who ever thought of him as a mastermind vastly overrated his intellect.
  2. what's wrong with Sidney Powell's voice? Is she like 95? Brain worms and malice are a bad combo.
  3. I don't understand -- what's the (stated) need to add instructional time if they go all-remote -- with the hybrid model now, the remote kids don't need to do anything extra. Just seems punitive and sadistic.
  4. Don't think he was really equating the two but maybe it's a Texas thing...... Disclosure: I'm a lawyer, and the state Bar Journal that every single lawyer gets monthly has a section fully outing all the lawyers who've been disciplined up to disbarment, full names and their city. Really, it's the only entertaining thing in there. I also did open records rulings for a while, and the process for doctor discipline w/the board of medical examiners is only marginally less internal and compromised than the cops' process. Hell, we had a doctor here who was either purposely or negligently paralyzing people because he had zero qualifications for the back surgeries he was doing and he was coked up all the time -- and it practically took an act of god to get him to stop. The doctors' lobby in Texas is crazy powerful and they don't just submit to requests for accountability or even continuing education. Things may be different where you practice. Just saying.
  5. wtf happened to Ricky Schroder?? Is he the new Chachi?
  6. This would be fun -- let's poll Republicans and see how many support the plots against Whitmer. Guessing the average self-identified Republican these days would be a razor-thin hair left of Tim McVeigh these days.
  7. Doesn't he believe that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids? I think he has an actual brain malfunction. Physician, heal thyself.
  8. My god. Put the quaaludes down and take a fucking look around.
  9. No one perturbed that the GA secretary of state explicitly said that he's not pleased with the outcome of the presidential vote?? Even if he is committed to not fucking with the vote count, that's a hugely bullshit thing to say to the world, JFC
  10. My first measure of justice is that NY needs to have an indictment drawn up to drop immediately upon his leaving office, and fuck public opinion of that. I doubt they need more info to have probable cause of at least one felony. What do you think are the odds (real question, not being an asshole )?
  11. I've long since given up on any idea that these fucker will face any consequences, much less the actual justice they deserve and the country needs.
  12. 2020 took RBG, it should take Mitch out too for balance Or, I'd be ok with saying take Chuck and Mitch, IDGAF
  13. If it's someone who might not be 100% irredeemable and it's worth trying (like family), I think you have to find a wedge inward that aligns with their values --- or what they claim as their values. For instance, my mom recently was asking about the whole "defund the police" movement (just asking questions!) Well, what's one thing Repubs hate? Unions! So I explained that police unions dictate police force rules so that even the worst cops have no accountability (accountability!), they get a paid vacation with no consequences, and cities continue to bow to the unions who have a stranglehold over city budgets to allow a shockingly high proportion for an accountability-free PD (fiscal responsibility!) And you know what? Her response was something like, "yeah the unions have too much control..." Ungrateful thugs kneeling for the anthem? Me: "Yeah I just wish that wasn't one of the freedoms our vets had fought for" with very serious face (freedom!!) Also, knowing they'd probably voted and would never ever ever consider not voting for every R, I said "hey if you haven't voted yet, please don't vote for this judge (one of my bosses) because he's an activist judge who's a maniac and lacks judicial temperament." I don't think any voter likes to think of themselves as low-info and uninformed, so thought just maybe it'd make her stop and think, and particularly consider how an R could also be an "activist" judge. My dad has fallen into a very deep state of depression and anxiety and no treatment has helped. I mentioned that watching cable news (obv they are Fox-ites) increases anxiety. I didn't attack the content in any way but told her the format of CONSTANTLY BREAKING NEWS! and the graphics, quick edits, and ever-scrolling chyrons are designed to elicit fear and anxiety. And she told me my dad's psychiatrist told them the same thing. Speaking of anxiety, she has freely volunteered to me before that "the older you get, the more you hate change." For those with that mindset, it obviously translates into your political views and voting habits. So fearmongering really works. And attacks, even just calmly stating facts, only cement people's views even when they are dead-cold proven wrong, studies show. So my opinion is you have to slip past the reptilian brain response and sneak around the back by using appeals to their own sense of patriotism and values. And it's much more helpful if they don't know that's what you're doing.
  14. Ok what are the chances that an indictment is drawn up to drop on 1/21/21? Because with regard to NY it motherfucking should be ready unless there's literally no expectation of justice anymore
  15. You know the wing nuts will be disgusted by it but Van Jones dropped some truth.
  16. Except one party runs on the idea that government is incompetent and can't be trusted, and they keep getting voted back in after doing nothing but obstructing in order to prove how right they are. Pretty damned easy work if you can get it. Their whole platform now is literally nothing -- except tell you how scary the other side is.
  17. So literally all polls were wrong for NC senator?? (yeah MoE but fuck you when it goes against the favored one in every single poll--- that's some bullshit)
  18. what's the deal with the mf'ers saying trump is winning PA? Come on, the polls are THAT broken?
  19. wtf is up with Georgia---they saying it's almost 2/3 gonna go Trump, when it was tilting D in every legit poll??
