  1. Tulsi endorses Trump. Goddamn, the last month or so has just been one "Wildcat was right!" story after another. It feels so good.
  2. Even a statute that it as clear as it can possibly be when written will become unclear over time, because language evolves. It's not math, no matter how much you wish it were. Even if you got rid of all the sausage making and could just hand the pen to one brilliant lawyer, there is not and will never be a way for that lawyer to craft a statute so perfectly that it wouldn't be susceptible to bad faith arguments about how it actually means the opposite of what it says if a judge is sympathetic to those arguments.
  3. Pretty good coincidence that this great Rick Pearlstein piece on flip flopping and effective political communication just dropped yesterday:
  4. I'm just saying that you don't in fact need to continually play devil's advocate and pretend as if the real problem is that a legislature wasn't clear enough with its language. Legislation not being sufficiently clear is a thing, sure, but that's more just a function of how language works than it even is about legislative sloppiness. Saying that a piece of legislation could be a little more clear is like saying the sky is blue or water is wet. You know as well as any of us that even when a law is crystal fucking clear a Republican judge can and will still ignore the clear meaning if they want to do so.
  5. You can resist this urge Twice, I believe in you.
  6. At this point it feels like the training staff must be injuring guys on purpose.
  7. When Kamala is president it’s going to be law that we get to kick the shit out of internet trolls every day.
  8. Roy Cooper definitely has football coach vibes.
  9. Fuck me I can’t believe I forgot about this. I fail so hard.
  10. Apparently being an astronaut doesn’t give you a lot of chances to work on your charisma. Who woulda thunk it?
  11. Odds he doesn't show up?
  12. This is about encouraging his supporters to commit more violence in his name.
  13. When did the uncommitted delegation request a speaking slot at the convention? I could be wrong about this, but it seems like they waited to spring it during the convention, which if that's the case is fucking ridiculous behavior.
  14. I mean, you'd like to think so, but we're talking about a guy who trolls the school shooting thread for lulz.
  15. Daniel Perry seems like a piece of shit.
  16. Maybe this is an ultra liberal hot take, but if someone is going to scream at someone else that they're a terrorist sympathizer because they don't think thousands of children should be intentionally starved, I don't think they should bitch about people who disagree with them on other issues being mean to them. And if someone does do both of those things, we should probably all call him a pussy.
  17. The hell I do.
  18. Ana is going to start dropping the Times and WaPo factchecks on us here in a minute and shit is going to melt down.
  19. Hmmmm, I wonder what might possibly explain this failure.
  20. We could condition additional aid to Israel on the IDF executing BiBi by slowly lowering him into a vat of acid.
  21. I would order a knife missile strike against BiBi but maybe I'm just built different.
  22. There's a whole lotta Cloak Room posts in here from people who hate it when the Daily Texan gets Cloak Roomed.
