  1. To paraphrase the complaint of iconic Trump supporter Crystal Minton from Florida (of course), "I thought they was going to do good things. They're not hurting the people they need to be hurting.”
  2. Niiiccceee ... The national results from Monmouth today that had Biden's lead down to +5 LV / +6 RV (down from +7 LV / +9 RV in Sept. 10 poll) had me getting a bit nervous, but getting a PA lead that is hopefully beyond the reach of Trump / Barr fuckery would do a lot to put my mind more at ease.
  3. "See - we're not racists! We're just fucking assholes!" Signed, FLPD
  4. Shot: Chaser:
  5. That's the main reason I'm going to watch the debates - I think that there is a non-zero chance that Trump finally strokes out, and I'll have the champagne chilling just in case.
  6. I think we can all agree that if more of the Trumpkins had been aborted, America would have been a shit ton better for kids today.
  7. What's the average age of folks that eat at Mar-a-Lago? Most of them are going to die soon anyway ... Is that how that's done?

  9. Get 'em!
  10. Agreed - she's been playing this war hero thing for a long time, and is still polling well behind Biden in Texas. She needs to do some attack ads that strap Cornyn to Trump (which shouldn't be hard) and hope that she and Biden can ride the wave of new D voter registrations to victory.
  11. McConnell and Collins have played this card one too many times - I don't think anyone believes her, given she only goes against Mitch when it doesn't matter. Hopefully Gideon has saved some money for ads to hammer her on this.
  12. It dawned on me watching that video why Trump hates wearing masks so much - they really emphasize his vagina neck.
  13. Sorry if I missed it, but did we ever get a straight answer for why there was no body camera footage of this? I had seen that at least one of the officers involved actually had a body cam on his vest, but apparently there was no video? Given recent history, it feels like the absence of video should cut against the police in instances where there is an expectation of potential escalation. Cops forgot to start their body cams? We should be starting with the presumption that the victim's account of what happened is accurate and needs to be overcome by third party testimony / evidence. Fuck this whole "You forgot to start your cam but say that you announced yourself? Oh, okay, fire away" bullshit. You have the camera to support your version of what happened; if cops hadn't proven themselves so untrustworthy, we wouldn't be here.
  14. That is fucking terrifying - mostly because it's become clear that this is where we're heading ...
  15. And wouldn't this leave decisions to lower federal courts, which have also been jam-packed with Republican crazy / stupid over the McConnell reign? I agree with Wildcat. I don't think that's going to have any deterrent effect for the Rs, who have long demonstrated their willingness to act in bad faith.
  16. I posted this video not long ago, but I was having flashbacks watching Rand so I feel compelled to share it one more time: Rand with another "global wobbling" / "CO2 toxicity" / "ice cube displacement" moment, brought to you once again by the Republican Party ...
  17. This guy is always worth a listen, if for no other reason than him coining phrases such as "greasy Kentucky fuck turtle" and "pant-shitting combination of The Handmaid's Tale and the Book of Fucking Revelations" ...
  18. You'd think that this fact pattern would resonate with the castle doctrine / "If someone steps into mah house at night, Ima fill 'em full of lead" types. I mean, if you don't hear the police announcing themselves (or the police just lie about it), you're dead and your family is shit outta luck. You'd think they'd be crying about "her FreEdUmS!", wouldn't ya? I guess as long as the no-knock warrants are only granted in low-income, minority areas, nothing to worry about ...
  19. Pissed off Fauci is definitely the best Fauci for 2020 ...
  20. They do know their demo, don't they?
  21. Hopefully they picked a particular Trumpy batch of voters, but goddamn FL and AZ ... BTW, this is supposed to be one of the most reliable pollsters in FL and AZ.
  22. Top and bottom rows have different # of stars. 2/10 WNB
  23. I don't think he really has to answer definitively. I would anticipate something like: "I never would have considered it in the past, but when the dust settles, we'll have to evaluate whether the conduct of the Republican Party over the past X years (especially with respect to consideration of nominees to the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary more broadly), when coupled with abuse of the federal courts by Trump, Barr and his administration) necessitates a rethinking of that position."
