  1. My favorite part, "We know everything they said was going to happen didn't happen, but we also know that the person who said it was going to happen was who he said he was." Umm, yeah.
  2. Is he trying to get them sick? Piece of shit.
  3. Yeah I'm just not sure what to think that the tow truck driver show on Weather Channel has a left leaning bias. I guess it is Canadian... And oh wow, on the new chart the right wing appears to be detaching and heading in a different direction than the middle/left. And the Weather Channel no longer rates? WTF?
  4. Wasn't this fuck just a few days ago fomenting insurrection to keep in power a guy that has created our current recession and killed more Americans than any other president since Hoover? You'd think he'd give it a few days at least to let the heat die down and for our goldfish sized attention span move on to other things first.
  5. The thing that surprised me most was that he managed to do even worse than I imagined he would do when I first saw that stupid escalator ride to his announcement. It was a parade of dumb, stupid and hamhandedness from that very first appearance right up until he got on the plane to leave forever. I mean I expected a bunch of the stupidness to happen but I figured there would at least be some adults in the room that would at least try to corral him. But no, I got to watch our president side with a foreign country against the interests of the US, I got to watch him needlessly kill hundreds of thousands of people with his inaction during a worldwide health crisis, I marveled at his ability to shit on our allies and buddy up to despots and dictators, and of course I got to watch him lie about everything from whether or not it was raining during his inauguration (it was, he said it wasn't), to whether or not he supported white supremacists (he said no, he was lying) and who could forget the time he sharpied over a hurricane map to show Alabama in the cone of doom just so he could claim he wasn't wrong when he incorrectly said Alabama was in the cone of doom. I mean, the list of lies from tiny to immense could fill up a book, and I guess I expected that, but I didn't expect it to be as never ending and as damaging as it ended up being.
  6. What does it say about my friend that when he reads BBC it auto translates in his head to big black cock?
  7. Yeah I'm actually a little concerned about this. We are so used to incompetence we're going to be throwing parties for awhile for anyone in government who displays the bare minimum bar of competence, when we should still be holding them to higher standards than that. I'm all on board with being excited about competence but we don't need to just accept that's the best we can do. Meanwhile, I'm amongst the partiers today.
  8. Yeah, it was fucking infuriating. I think the only time in my adult life that I have ever been madder than reading that letter was the time when insurrectionists stormed the capital. It was so infuriating that until you mentioned it I had successfully blocked it out of my memory. I don't ever want to be that mad again, so I'm kind of ok that he hasn't been willing to put himself through that process again, because I don't want to go through it either.
  9. LOL I've been living with him since 2004, so might as well have been married. Married officially since 2014.
  10. I could write a book about this....I've been married to a non-citizen since 2004 and we've been married 6 and a half years now. Marriage got us off the non-permanent visa game of finding a student visa or a temporary work visa like an H-1B, and now he's a permanent resident. We have to pay a small fee every 10 years to renew now. It was a fucking grueling process to get through that. It involved putting together a whole binder to prove we were really married, an interview with immigration where we had to once again prove we were married. We also retained counsel for that and paid some feeds to the government I think in the neighborhood of $1k. Then, he only got a 2 year green card and had to go through the whole thing again 2 years later to get a regular green card, which cost another $1k in fees, required us to put together a binder of proof that we were really married, which included years of copies of shared bills, old driver's licenses, pictures of us together with friends and in different locations at different times, and then they made us make an even bigger binder of more of the same (It was 600 pages of shit by the time we submitted it), and with a second interview we finally got there. From now on forever, we pay the fee every 10 years and we're golden. Alternatively, we could sign up to go through another year long process with a $1200 price tag on it, and take the extra time and attention of our time to get through the next step for him to be a citizen, but his country doesn't allow dual citizenship so the other thing we have to think about is, is it worth it for him to give up citizenship to his home country or not? Especially since the only benefit he'd be getting out of it is the right to vote. So yeah, since there's no rush, we haven't really decided its worth the time and pain and heartache and aggravation of going through this process a third time because we know how this movie goes and we're not sure it's worth the price of admission.
  11. Something something, something something, reasons and something something. Does that help?
  12. Every time I start laughing about this I remember that there was a fair bit of that happening on the football board when we were running the world via conference realignment and I get sad that we had a bunch of idiots buying a bunch of bullshit as well. Then I remember that that was a diversion and in the grand scheme of things doesn't affect our lives, and this one ruins families and lifetime friendships and then I start laughing again at these morons.
  13. We agree on that. I went down a hopeful path, but it's not the only path. And I'm not sure which route is more likely a decade from now. Gotta tell you that that hurts me to think about. Like emotionally that will be something I don't think I'd ever get over if they end up going down that path and succeed. There'd be a whole bunch of people I know in life that I'd never be able to forgive or speak to again. It'd be another example of fucking baby boomers throwing a fit when they don't get what they want and ruining it for everyone else, which I've gotten to see close up for most of my life. Fuck.
  14. Somehow I did not have lesbian on my bingo card.
  15. The optimist in me sees that there are a shit ton of people that are going to vote R because R. They don't care about the policies, they've proven that by voting for Trump because R. So, what an enterprising R leadership should be doing is to start figuring out which parts of the Democratic platform they can co opt to build a new coalition. And then go hard at that. They do not have to go down the deadly path, because it will be deadly to them if they follow that path. They are going to have to get some visionary leadership to see it that way though, and they have to start bringing in candidates who can argue about ideas again instead of creating straw men. It's going to be a tough thing to do, but it's the only path that doesn't see them driven to dust.
  16. The people who buy this are the same people who are constitutional experts who never read the constitution or memo experts who never read the partial transcript of the memo. Why are you expecting something different this time?
  17. Is this the one with the face like vermin and the voice of a fascist? They are all starting to look alike to me.
  18. Not really sure what to say if you don't see his comments, see those cuffs on him, and you hear his obvious lie and decide that yeah, maybe he did just forget he had them. But maybe we're not arguing about the same thing. I'm arguing that I don't think it was hyperbole to state that the guy was wearing those cuffs in case he could take some hostages in support of the second revolution. You may be arguing that whether that's hyperbole or not, based on what he's been charged with so far, bail is a 99% certainty, so there's no point in bringing that into the discussion. If you are arguing the former, I don't even know how to have a discussion with you about this. If you are arguing the latter, IANAL so I'd defer to your knowledge in that area.
  19. Imagine being so hard up that you'd look to the opinion of a drug addict pillow salesman shuckster for your advice on your best next step to overthrow the government.
  20. Then I'm not wasting my time on that bullshit. I demand better stories about Japanese/Argentinians in the future.
  21. Dude did you see his social media posts in that thread? "Patriots need to shoot their way in," Talking about that woman that FAAFO with a bullet in her neck, "She's the first martyr of the second revolution." And you think it is hyperbole that he might have tried to use those cuffs to take a hostage if he'd found a hostage to take? Ok then.
  22. I love how people have turned the concept of taking responsibility for your own actions onto its head and are instead claiming that they are the victims of people who would hold them accountable for their actions. Don't want none won't be none you piece of shit Justin Hill. You are still missing the most important detail. I don't know how much time to spend imagining this until you tell me if those bartenders had penises or not. Isn't this the guy that claimed he found those plastic cuffs on the ground and was responsibly looking for a policeman so he could turn them in?
