  1. Here's the real problem.....I doubt that prison, and getting nailed up the ass, and sucking dick for cigs, are much deterrent for old Roger.  Shit, this is a real life "please don't throw me in that briar patch" moment.

    I read them in Gilbert Gottfried’s voice because that’s what Brisket sounds like in real life, which is weird, because he looks like Idris Elba except Filipino.

    I should neg you.  Because I SOUND like Idris....but I look more like Gilbert.  Motherfucker.....

  4. What were you googling, recently deceased autistic meteorologists?

    What’s really interesting is that meant he only had to change one word from his typical porn search. You figure out which word.

    Ask the Supremes to see if they want to intervene.  If they choose not to, then that's it; the House gets his returns.

    No, they don't.

    He will just refuse to comply with the court's decision and orders.  That's where we are.

    KUT just ran a series of Austin man on the street bits and most didn’t want anything to do with talking to reporter. A couple seemed reluctant about impeachment. A couple were ready to go. If that’s the temperature gonna be a long row to hoe. 

    Oh, it's going to be a long row to hoe indeed.  We're collectively too stupid to deserve this freaking birdsnest on the ground we have been given* -- huge country, incredible natural resources, protected from foreign wars by oceans on each side.

    Franklin framed the issue correctly -- what we created was "a Republic, if you can keep it."

    We've answered that rather resoundingly -- we can't.  We're entering the end-stage.  And we're doing it with the passionate glee that only ignorance and stupidity can support.

     

    * given, taken from the original inhabitants, who we genocided the shit out of, why quibble?

    I wish the Democrats knew how to go for the jugular.

    The GOP strategy of continuing to collaborate with foreign powers and destroying the rule of law works really, really well....until it doesn't.  Then, there won't be any "Democrats" - it will just be people.  And they'll go for more than the jugular.

    Pigs get fat.  Hogs get slaughtered.  The GOP is not heeding the inherent warning of that adage.  Their path ends in shit like the guillotine.  It's stupid as hell.  But they're hell-bent on pursuing it full-speed ahead.

    Your comparison breaks down along one important point: Black people were correct in that "the other side" had been getting away with it for decades, even centuries.

    But the GOP thing that Tom brings up, "the other side" haven't been getting away with anything. EDIT: because they havent' been doing anything they need to get away with.

    Oh, I thought I clarified it by referring to the GOP's beliefs as insane.  You are correct, that's a big difference.  But the psychology at the end of that is the same -- whether you're actually getting a shitty deal, or you've deluded yourself into thinking you got a shitty deal, the conclusion is the same -- "getting away with it" yourself is sweet, sweet revenge.

    We're run by a band of deranged nutbars.

    I know Dems are going to take the L on impeachment and removal.

    I just hope that L doesn't linger and result in another one next November. A re-elected Trump would be a nightmare.

    We can only try.

    If our country decides to self-immolate, we can't stop that.

    If the GOP successfully follows the path of voter disenfranchisement, voter intimidation, and cooperation with foreign interference, then we will lose.  That will also mean that we no longer live in a functioning republic under the rule of law.  And if the rule of law no longer applies, it no longer applies.  We the people will then have to decide what that means.  Spoiler alert: it rarely means anything that doesn't end quite messily.

    You know how I'm betting it goes.

    I have a developing theory that where there is a massive, poverty-stricken and uneducated (literally no education) underclass, as in much of South America and Russia, for example, autocrats appeal and "moar autocrat" makes lots of sense to that underclass.

    A sound hypothesis.  Which rings quite true across the board......

    Mr. Chairman, I would like to submit for the record the January 1996 issues of Highlights magazine, in pertinent part the picture find.

    I'd like to invoke the rule of optional completeness, and also submit Goofus and Gallant from that issue.

    So, now we will hear testimony that Bolton, Pence, and others urged withholding from Ukraine until they became convinced he was committed to fighting corruption.

    Sure, Gym.

    What I want to hear is someone make the very important distinction:

    The withholding of aid was not on the condition that Ukraine actually investigate Biden.

    It was on the condition that Ukraine PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE that it was investigating Biden.

    The action required was not "investigate" but rather "announce."  That pretty much sinks the bullshit ship of "Trump wanted to fight corruption."  I mean, nevermind that 1) Congress already found that Ukraine qualified for the aid, and 2) the Pentagon itself determined that Ukraine had cleared all necessary anti-corruption hurdles.  Bust these fuckers on their baldfaced lie.  Do it.

  13.   I don't like authoritarian anti-democratic regimes.

    Is that why you run screaming in to every thread about military coups to howl about how bad the democratically elected presidents are? Seems inconsistent.

    Murder of millions by leftist regimes (of which history has a rather impressive scorecard) -- A-OK.

    What leftist regimes have killed millions in South America?

    (When did I ever say any of it was OK?)

    Right wing violence and murder (history fills some pages with this shit, too) -- not just wrong, but actually proof that being to the right of center is evil.

    Why are you downplaying right-wing violence when the worst dictators in South America's history are all right-wing military dictatorships supported by the US to fight Communism? Seems either historically ignorant or purposefully misleading on some Ben Shapiro shit.

    Pinochet, Batista, Somoza? No? Anyone?

    ——————————-

    (Quoted the above, Tapa is odd)

     

    “Democratically elected” means jack shit when a leader controls the apparatus of the state. Which presidents for life do. Plenty of authoritarian leaders are “democratically elected.” A willingness to leave the office, and not monkey with the constitution repeatedly to favor your continued reign, are a good baseline.

     

    Leftist regimes in Latin America are no fucking angels. Cuba has killed and imprisoned a shitload of dissidents. The Mexican revolution saw significant wholesale murder of “counter revolutionaries” (they tried to get my family, we made it to Del Rio). Seriously, my own fucking family fled leftist death squads in Latin America.

     

    And of course, my criticism wasn’t limited to Latin America. If you aren’t willing to acknowledge the millions killed by China, the DPRK, the Soviet Union, Pol Pot, that’s your fucking problem.

     

    I won’t downplay right wing violence - I particularly wont downplay our own shameful fucking involvement in it (cough, Operation Condor). But I will maintain my position that wing ideology has little to do with being murderous shitbags. Instead, authoritarian, anti-democratic rule is the greatest common denominator.

     

    Sorry your idols are so disappointing.

  14. lol that’s a lie

    Hell...let’s pretend it isn’t.

     

    29.5% of Americans have an arrest record (that percentage includes both convictions and felony arrests with no conviction).

     

    Presuming his number of around 54,000 is correct...there are 700,000 DACA recipients.

     

    So....7.7% have an arrest record. Thats about 1/4 the rate of Americans as a whole. DACA recipients are much more likely to be good citizens than a randomly selected American, including the Trump base.

     

    Thanks for making the argument for us, DOTUS. I’d much rather have a DACA recipient living next to me than a Trump supporter. They’re MUCH less likely to be a criminal. And they’re almost certainly much MORE likely to be gainfully employed and contributing to society.

     

    Statistics are a bitch, you fucking simpleton shitsmear.
