I find Talarico's evangelism troubling. It's like he's never read the First Amendment. If he prevails in the primaries, I hope he does so in the general. But Crockett is better prepared to be a Senator.

He's such a douchebag.

He could circulate a discharge petition. Would take a handful of GOP defectors to make it happen.

A wooden stake is reputed to be effective, but I think silver bullets are really the best practice.

Better that than doing their jobs as they see fit.

When students have mental health problems it's largely because their parents are all fucked up.

I should think so!

Glurge.

The legacy media was a very different institution in 2018. For one thing, it had a spine, and an appetite for scandal in high places.

Now it is increasingly owned by high places.

If nothing else, Colbert demonstrated how ravenously digital is going to eat legacy's lunch.

Call me a pessimist if you like but my expectation is that roughly 40% of the planet's population will die within the space of a single generation sometime this century, due to climate impacts.

It will break our hearts, of course, but perhaps then conviction will emerge. Until then, no dice.

Oh fuck ICE and their Potemkin brownshirts. These filthy fascist swine can put me on the list, but I'll still piss on their graves.

I'm reminded of Ghandi's comment when asked about Western Civilization: "It sounds like a good idea."

Not just suicide, but suicide by autoerotic asphyxiation.

I have a similar suspicion about Steely Dan's song "Janie Runaway".

@ianbetteridge.com Do we have a winner?

He hasn't found a lawyer who's willing to lose his license over it.

Money laundering.

It's money laundering!

Making sure weapons systems manufacturers know which side of the bread is buttered.

Thanx. My own projection for 2028 is that Mark Kelly goes all the way with a margin that makes Nixon/McGovern look like a squeaker.

But he's going to need a VP, and that could be AOC or perhaps GOPSlayer Pete, either of which might, eight years later, be able to make a successful run for the Oval.

FOCUS hell, they hardly know us!

You can't be serious. It would be political suicide by autoerotic asphyxiation.

Don't misunderstand me; I love AOC. But her best chance to reform policy and the Party is standing outside the tent pissing in.

She'd get less than 30% in the primaries, and her partisans would sit out the general.

If he had any integrity or sense of honor he'd resign.

Your terms are acceptable.

He really is evil, but he's also really, really stupid, and surrounds himself with stupid people. That is the fulcrum of my confidence that we will prevail.

And we will ensure that nobody who submits profits thereby. Being associated in any way with Trump is equivalent to association with Epstein.

And then kill them if they gave any trouble.

Artificial sandbagging.

That's just so wrong. You chop up your whiff and line it up on the top of the *tank*. Then sit on the lid, backwards, to do your rail.

What an amateur.

The president is a scoundrel, and you are his accomplice. You will both die in prison and I will stand in a very long line to piss on your graves.

Yes, yes you are.
