  1. I wouldn’t even begin to compare the two. As a matter of fact, I would say 9/11 begat 1/6.
  2. I’ve no doubt he actually believes what he just said. The problem is: ”insurrection” comes from the old French “insurgere,” which means “rise up.” In modern lingo, the word is very frequently associated with the concept of “armed rebellion.” Here’s the thing: one needn’t possess a gun in order to be “armed.” When you have anything that can be constituted as a weapon, by definition, you are armed. You’re armed if you have a knife; armed if you have a crowbar; armed if you have a mace; armed if you have a sword; armed if you have nunchucks; etc. This whole deal about “armed means guns” is an exclusive American perversion, and the US does not have exclusive rights over the word “insurrection.” And yeah there’s the extra layer of “yeah, there were guns too.” So not only is Tucker absolutely wrong, he cannot be right. This level of wrongness is right up there with the assertion of Noah’s Flood as actual history: we know it isn’t right, and we know it cannot be right. He’s not going to get out of that by playing semantics about as well as Todd Marinovich played QB in the NFL. The US legal code isn’t gonna help him, either. ”Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.” It says absolutely nothing about guns, so he’s gonna have to give this one up. But such is the mind of the right wing: lazy, suggestible, inarticulate, uneducated, undisciplined, unmotivated to do anything except be a dick for dick’s sake. They have as much business being offended when they’re called “degenerates” as a fire truck has when it’s described as being “red.”
  3. There are those who are worth considering, there are those not worth considering, there are those who are so laughably stupid that it almost requires us to mock them, and there are those who give rise to the idea that if brains were fuel, they wouldn't have enough to power a flea's motorcycle around a drop of rain.
  4. Oh it is. We don’t condone it in our household, and yet when I play my 14-year old nephew in Madden and when I’m beating his ass, he is guaranteed to say the phrase “LITERALLY GAY!” like 5-6 times. He doesn’t get that from me, his dad, his mom, his aunt (my wife) or anyone else. That’s obviously a school (i.e. peer) thing.
  5. 90’s kid in Dallas. That was the slogan we had for the week we played against JJ Pearce HS
  6. Don’t those fat asses (aka the majority of the participants) qualify as “toxic irritants” just in and of themselves?
  7. Seriously that guy is a fucking idiot
  8. Well I only said that because he’s not catholic
  9. How long til this guy is found in a motel snorting coke off a dude’s ass?
  10. Why are we allowing children to sit at the adult table?
  11. It won’t do anything because she poured gas on what amounts to the floor of Hill House.
  12. Not only that but she couldn’t even rehabilitate her image even if she was fucking broadcasting whatever she told Pence in real time. What’s her saving grace? “Hey I fucked up American education even more than it’s already been fucked up, but at least i supported possibly removing Trump from office all of 2 weeks before his term expired?”
  13. Which again is exactly what McConnell and Co. would be saying if this happened to Sotomayor/Kagan/Jackson. These statements that they’re putting out about this moron are both in bad faith and in bad taste. And they wonder why I call them degenerates.
  14. It really is about the ends justifying the means, isn’t it? What is truly amazing is that they cannot explain why they’re so committed to those means when they can’t even define what the ends even are. Ok so Trump “won” the 2020 election. That’s gonna make their lives better? How?
  15. Well it’s not really about protecting Brett Kavanaugh the person; it’s about protecting that 6-3 majority.
  16. Again, they’ve been conditioned since childhood to believe that politics is a team sport and everything can be boiled down to glorious, righteous and virtuous “us” vs. those conniving, rotten evil bastard “thems.” I have no doubt that the reaction would be totally different if this exact story didn’t involve Brett Kavanaugh and instead involved Sonia Sotomayor. Anyways, this isn’t legitimate political discourse. This is hyper-partisan showboating by a handful of poster children for the Dunning Kruger Effect.
  17. What are two things that don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell at legitimately understanding each other?
  18. I don’t know why he was booted, to be perfectly honest. He checks every box their speakers need -Weird personal life -Never said anything worth a shit in his professional life -Never did anything worth a shit in his professional life -Entire impression of his “purpose” is to string together a bunch of words in arrangements that have no objective other than to “piss off the libs.” Who among CPAC speakers does NOT fit that description?
  19. He also once placed an order at a McDonald’s under the name Jimmy Dean Boberry
  20. How the fuck does that make them different than Walker?
  21. Exactly what I was thinking. He’s like that kid in the old thanksgiving joke: Kid’s walking around the house on Thanksgiving. Mom and dad are fighting. Mom calls dad a “bastard,” dad calls mom a “bitch.” Kid asks his mom “what’s a bastard?” She says “it’s just another word for man.” Kid asks his dad “what’s a bitch? He says “it’s just another word for woman.” Kid later hears his mom scream “FUCK!” He runs in and sees she’s cut herself carving the turkey. “Mom, what does “fuck” mean?” She says “oh it just means I’m cutting the turkey.” He later hears his dad scream “SHIT!” Runs in and sees his dad has cut himself shaving. “Dad, what does shit mean?” He says “oh it’s another way to say shaving cream.” Shortly after that response, the door bell rings. It’s the kid’s aunt and uncle and some of the cousins. Kid answers the door: “Hello, bitches and bastards! My mom is in the kitchen fucking the turkey and my dad is in the bathroom putting shit all over his face!”
  22. Personally I think Gnosticism in either direction is absolute insanity. How the hell can anyone say they “know” that there either is or isn’t a deity? That kind of assertion is a positive statement, and those require positive evidence. And this particular kind of statement would be extraordinary so it would therefore require extraordinary evidence. Math is pretty much the only field of study we have that produces the kind of absolute certainty that believers talk about. Science is different than math on that front. Science is basically a game of King of the Hill. The very best explanations of certain phenomenon, which have to pass through a rigorous process, occupy the top of that hill until a better explanation knocks it off. Once it’s knocked off, it very likely will never return, which is why we haven’t heard much about vitalism or phlogiston lately. In terms of going from “belief” to “knowledge,” yeah it’s bullshit. You don’t acquire knowledge simply by “believing hard enough” as some theists contend. Knowledge has to do with facts, and facts are defined as points of data that are exclusively indicative of or concordant with one particular explanation above all others. That has shit to do with confidence.
  23. That Gaetz and Jordan up front?
  24. He probably has it hidden in Benghazi by all the employees of the pizzeria where Crooked Hillary is running her pedophile ring. They also have it guarded by chemtrails, vaccines, the US Postal Service and Wayne Newton.
