  1. We could give you some aid, but then the Communists would win. You don't want the Communists to win, do ya, Bud? Didn't think so. So get a good grip on them bootstraps and start tugging.
  2. You have to apply the Trump Tower penthouse adjustment - i.e., "30,000 sf" = ~11,000 actual sf, so we're looking at around 33,000 sf for the ballroom. Realistically, his bullshit isn't linear, so it may be considerably less.
  3. A reasonable person without context might look at the GOP proposal and guess that this is an attempt by a party that has historically been abused by the gerrymander to prove that there has to be some boundary to how abusive a gerrymander can be. Unfortunately, here in the real world, we know this is the GOP trying to prove that there is truly no limit that the current incarnation of the USSC will impose on gerrymandering, so long as it is undertaken by the GOP.
  4. TX-10 and -11 are fucking ridiculous. Fuck these pieces of shit.
  5. For the record, Tapper still fucked up the timeline: https://www.npr.org/2025/07/25/nx-s1-5478620/jeffrey-epstein-crimes-timeline-legal-case https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Non-Prosecution-Agreement-1433.pdf The Epstein NPA was signed by in September 2007. Prosecutors filed the NPA under seal at the time. Epstein pleaded guilty to the state solicitation charges in June 2008. NPA was unsealed in September 2009 by a Florida judge. To his credit, Tapper called bullshit, but it's worth noting that no part of Markwayne's story was in any way accurate - Acosta, a Bush stooge, was responsible for the deal and the secrecy in 2007, and the NPA was unsealed during Obama's first term (though it's not clear he had anything to do with it). In summary, Markwayne:
  6. Supreme Court (through some circuitous nonsensical 75-page opinion, probably leaning on made-up history):
  7. Never forget:
  8. And even if they did, the GOP has hired every Flow Free expert to help them circumvent any such requirement.
  9. Worth noting that the "proposed maps" floating around are ones developed by some randos, not the legislature: https://www.chron.com/culture/article/texas-redistricting-map-congress-20778346.php Not that the GOP might not try to do something similar, but I don't think they've unveiled anything yet.
  10. And lest you have any doubt, Senator Mullin is 100% as stupid as you would expect a guy named "Markwayne" to be.
  11. Zina Bash - you mean this bitch from the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings? I suppose that checks out.
  12. Clips still up on Comedy Central, including parody ad ... https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/s34zhn/south-park-he-trumped-us Not sure if CC is going to be limiting YT posts.
  13. The Streisand effect on this one will be considerable. This would go under the radar for a lot of folks, but guaranteed that he will blow it up into something huge. Going to be glorious.
  14. Update requested - by pretty much all accounts, "gross old meat" should fit inside the Epstein Files bubble as well.
  15. As if anyone needed another reason to stay the fuck out of Florida. Fuck the police, and fuck Florida police in particular. BTW - just listen to this asshole try to explain that the victim was just trying to "enflame the public" because he posted the video to social media. No motherfucker - he posted to social media because he knew you would just bury it completely if there wasn't an uproar. The more I see, the more I think it may really be time to trash the system and try to start over.
  16. Never going to happen. The only way to unfuck that line of law is to pack the court and let KTJ write the long overdue, scathing opinion noting that the CU opinion was a fucking ludicrous rationalization authored by justices bought and paid for by the billionaires that would ultimately benefit from the batshit crazy holding.
  17. I guess Redstone believes that she'll be able to do just enough to get the transaction approved, but I think she's going to end up joining the long list of folks that end up being Lando to Trump's Vader ("pray I don't alter the deal further"). I think Jon Stewart said it pretty damn well yesterday:
  18. That will leave a mark. Hopefully some of that 72% doesn't get distracted and actually votes in the future.
  19. Not sure how that would go over in light of the track meet stabbing incident ...
  20. Unfortunately, plenty of pieces of shit left at the Heritage Foundation (Kevin Roberts, Paul Dans, etc.) and the Federalist Society (Leanord Leo, Steven Calabresi) who have been turning the agenda up to 11. But it's a start.
  21. No doubt. If there were volunteers down there still searching thinking there were over 100 still missing and the leaders knew there were only 3, the volunteers should be rightfully pissed.
  22. Breitbart posting this video like it's cool. It feels like it's just a matter of time before normal folks catch wind of this and start turning on the police. With the bullshit going in with the guy that shot Breonna Taylor, it wouldn't surprise me if shit starts getting real in places like Louisvillle.
  23. 1/8th of every city smothered with several hundred thousand acres of MAGA in creating each district. May be time to build walls around the cities and when MAGA tries to get to a hospital in the next several years, just say "fuck AAAAALLLL the way off."
  24. No need - we already have RFK, Jr.
  25. "God works in mysterious ways. Now shut the fuck up with all of your facts." / Baptists probably
