  1. Ladybug, stop trying to make Dotard into a hero for surviving a nick to his ear ...
  2. "Caused real pain"? "Innately unchristian"? Bitch, that's EXACTLY who they are.
  3. Those big ass hoop earrings ain't fooling anybody ...
  4. Cut it off just a bit too short - missing my favorite line: "Tryna strike a chord and it's prolly A minoooor..."
  5. Good luck with that. We can't even reprogram these idiots to believe facts, not sure how you expect to re-shape ideology that has been drilled into them for the last 40+ years, especially with the way our educational system has shifted in the last 10 years..
  6. Someone should string together a video of Biden "making the case" and make him sit and watch it a few times. I don't think he understands how bad he sounds a good 25% of the time.
  7. Team drone strike here.
  8. Yeah, this is going to be like the West Wing, with Obama trying to play Bartlet trying to get the candidates to be adults with a nomination up for grabs. Good luck, but maybe he'll be able to convince them that once mud starts getting slung, the nomination will be meaningless.
  9. And this is undoubtedly the majority's intent - i.e., making it impossible to get a resolution before the election. Fucking shameless hacks.
  10. We get it. We're talking about voters that remain swing voters after all we've seen of Trump. You know - the fucking idiots. They're going to decide the fate of the U.S., so unfortunately we have to take into account what the fucking idiots think.
  11. I mean, if Joe's going to crumble, let's just get it over with and move on, hopefully with some Democratic unity. The ongoing debate will kill any shot at pulling out a miracle, so hopefully he's either 2020 Joe for the next few weeks or shows definitively that there's no shot he can serve - i.e., hopefully no middle ground.
  12. From that same censure: In light of everything else in this thread, all I can say is the 7th Circuit can get fucked. I understand that judges should do their best to preserve public confidence in the judiciary, but guess what? There ain't much to preserve at this point, and calling out the Roberts Court as the group most responsible for that should be fair game.
  13. As shitty as Alito and Thomas are, I'm coming to hate Roberts more than any of them. He operates under the guise of a traditional SC Justice, but he's obviously been playing the long game to ensure that the U.S. is ultimately an oligarchy where the ultra-rich continue to be able to fuck the rest of us without any recourse. Between the VRA cases, Citizens United, Loper Bright, etc., it's pretty clear that he exists only to do the Kochs' bidding. There was a pretty good piece in the Harvard Law Journal about this, but it predated all the most recent shenanigans: The Roberts Court's Assault on Democracy (HLJ) It should be clear by now that, even if we manage to keep Trump out of office, we have to fix the USSC one way or another.
  14. Granbury votes like 80% Republican so ... leopards, faces, etc.
  15. They're up and coming, but it feels like the current MAGA team starters are coming from Colleyville, Keller and Roanoke. A little shocked to see Southlake proper is a bit lighter pink, given the high profile racism in their schools.
  16. Bitch is going to curve north just enough so that Austin gets 2 drops of rain and 48 hours of 45mph wind, isn't she?
  17. So is that enough that we won't see the CyberNinjas being brought in to contest the count on this one?
  18. "Well, akshually, the military should still refuse the illegal order - it's just that the President has immunity related to the illegal order. And would never be removed by our dysfunctional Congress. And would probably have immunity for ordering other troops to murder the military guy who refused the order. Soooo, it pretty much works out exactly how we would want it to work ..." / Lawdogsplaining why we shouldn't be worried
  19. Wait a minute - the Supreme Court doesn't have an army. I guess that means they need to shut the fuck up ...
  20. Even worse, it's going to be Matthew Kacsmaryk, the 47-yr old loon in West Texas ALL of us have heard of by now.
  21. If you're thinking about going there, kinda seems like you'd need to go full "Night of the Long Knives" - Alito, Thomas, Leonard Leo, Kevin Roberts and the other head fascists at the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, the Kochs, Jeff Yass, McConnell, etc. All of these sonsabitches are hell-bent on destroying democracy, and you know they're going to be shopping for the next Trump once he's gone.
  22. ... and is, on the whole, so stunningly scientifically ignorant at a time when we are confronting potentially existential threats (climate change, AI, etc.). I'm sure that this will work out well for us, though.
  23. nm
  24. We are irrevocably stupider and making sure that the stupid have more power.
  25. Yeah, I look forward to the exhibitions of "special competence" by Judges Cannon and Kacsmaryk ...
