  1. She was really something before electricity. Congrats on the sex.
  2. I hope you buy her breakfast.
  3. Do you drive a Tesla or something? Your fixation with Twitter/X is quite odd. Almost as odd as your choice in burgers.
  4. Seemingly timely and appropriate podcast today on the NYT's "The Daily": Where are the Democrats? Times journalists sit down to discuss the state of the Democratic Party
  5. JFC we are the new Nazi Germany.
  6. I’ve got 3 freeloaders at my house that haven’t laid since around Thanksgiving. I’d threaten to eat them but they’re all over 3 years old. In other news the wife picked up 18 pack of eggs at target for like 6 bucks.
  7. No kink shaming please.
  8. I flew in and out of Denver this week so, you know, close to home.
  9. I mean, isn't there already an injunction in place that Leon is currently violating?
  10. Hey John, Fuck you.
  11. But Hillary hosted emails on a private server. Game, set, match!
  12. Now that truly can be blamed on both sides.
  13. You mean the Volkscybertrucks? Might need to workshop this a bit. Any suggestions?
  14. I'm not seeing any dramatic split with a Democratic President in office until Clinton, which was...right around the time of Gingrich's Contract on America. Sure, there was polarization taking place through the 80's but there was still some compromise and collaboration happening. To me this diagram doesn't really address increasing EO usage and executive consolidation of power so much as the movement towards the margins largely starting in Reagan's second term but only becoming a clear rift by the time Clinton came into office...when Gingrich put out the Contract on America.
  15. Me too. My comment was responding to Greaser Bob who was talking about those already IN Congress. They're the ones who are abdicating their role. It's kind of unfair to blame those who aren't even there for what those who are there are doing (or not doing).
  16. So, autocracy because we want to get things done! (Not dissimilar from shit I used to hear when I was on my country club's board--"we can't ever get things done because there are too many viewpoints!") The reason nothing gets done is because no one is willing to compromise. In modern history you need look no further than Gingrich's Contract on America. Republicans now hold control of Congress. They alone bear responsibility for what happens next. If they want to get any legislation passed through the Senate they'll need to convince a handful of D senators to step across the aisle with some sort of compromise. If they don't then they're not serious about doing anything and are willingly abdicating their role to the executive branch.
  17. You are both-sidesing it. The only blame you can place on Democratic congresspeople is that they don't have a control of either house. That's it. They can do nothing more than filibuster and attempt to install procedural hurdles, which they have been doing. Beyond that,
  18. That dipshit Radcliffe used to office in my old building. /csb
  19. She's lucky wasn't targeted by the Ten.
  20. I believe him when he said he wasn't going to read it. He can barely read a teleprompter.
  21. Guess I will need to postpone my trips to Quebec City and Jasper.
  22. I was playing with two of them last week. Both UT grads. One a multimillionaire offshore O&G guy. They were prattling on about how Trump somehow had solved all of the LA fire devastation. I just ignored them.
