  1. Trump wondering if he's been made to look foolish is some through the looking glass shit.
  2. Trump will pardon himself because it's too irresistible of a narrative not to be a victim of crooked Dems and just have to inocculate yourself against consequences of your own actions. Stone cold lock.
  3. These aren't the days of Read My Lips, No New Taxes brah. The base doesn't care about accountability or credibility. There is only Trump. Remain loyal or be jettisoned.
  4. Sean Astin
  5. You must first possess the capacity to be ashamed for shaming to work. After observing Trump enablers over the last 4 years, I've got some bad news for you...
  6. I don't see this validating Shawn Watson
  7. Anyone who would prefer a good civil war is a fucking idiot. Without exception. The sad reality, however, is that only one canp visibly and audibly values building bridges. The other camp derides bipartisanship, transparency, and consensus. They are unwilling or unable to speak against Dear Leader, who stokes and depends upon division and conflict to draw his own strength. I'm not saying bridge building isn't the ideal outcome. I'm saying it is futile as long as bridge building is viewed as weakness by one camp. How do you reinstill that as a value and wean them off their thirst for lib tears? I'm all ears.
  8. Who woulda thunk it? After devaluing legit journalism so over the decades, their viewership doesn't care about or recognize legit journalism anymore. Like Rush, they're entertainment, not bound by any professional ethic, right? Dance, monkey. Dance!
  9. Except Trump has never had a friend in his life. Associates, co conspirators, enablers, sure. I can't suspend enough disbelief to imagine Trump's friend.
  10. At this point, Ignatius Reilly's preference for "a good, strong monarchy with a tasteful and decent King" is sounding better and better.
  11. You should see their deconstructed burger
  12. You should consider changing providers from GRHorn.
  13. It's ok, I paused before typing that.
  14. Slight aside: I've had a similar conversation with my 20-something daughter about ACAB. I know that acronym is great for spray painting and all where nuance isn't possible, but it's untrue and unhelpful. Why would a good person choose to be a cop, or politician, if your decency and actions are carelessly lumped in with bad actors? I'd tolerate Most Cops Are Bastards much better. Absolute statements should always give you pause.
  15. Who's shifting accountability? Trump didn't arise in a vacuum. An Outsider was attractive to so many in part because of inaccurate, lazy tropes that ALL politicians are bad.
  16. That sort of thinking is what begets a Donald Trump.
  17. Yeah being Eskimo Bros with Don Jr doesn't bode well.
  18. Really poor choice. Disappointing.
  19. It's the happiest town in Greece.
  20. Appeasing an audience of one.
  21. And I'm tired of people of equivocating between parties with both sides garbage. One side is systemically obstructionist whether it be impeachment inquiries or actually improving access health care. One side undermines democracy on the reg. Dems are imperfect to be sure. but their faults are orders of magnitude less threatening to our nation's well being at present. You tell me how the Dems can work in good faith with Mr. 'it's too close to the election to confirm Merrick Garland' McConnell.
