"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.

Have you heard the reports on microplastics, that we each have enough plastic contamination in our brains to make a standard sized fast food spoon?

I feel this may have something to do with it.

Just a hunch.

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

“Let’s not mince words: The choice we face is ultimately between diplomacy and some form of war [with Iran] — maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon." -- President Obama, defending his Iran Deal, 2015.

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

Was there a congressional appropriation for this, or are we at the stage of openly robbing the treasury without any pretext at all?

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Modern humans have been around for three to four thousand generations. If you're a parent who hasn't buried a child, it means you were born in the last two or three generations.

Why are more people concerned with why women stay in abusive relationships than why men abuse women??? 😞

Sound on. Haunting, beautiful.

Sorry your health insurance costs so much more this year, we needed to make fancy airplanes for illiterate dog-murderers

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

the sort of information environment where you wish the FAA was not run by a contestant on the Real World, the Department of Defense by a Fox and Friends drunk, and DHS by Corey Lewandowski

In this case, he's legitimately so stupid, he may believe what he is saying.

He's so stupid, he has actually told the truth on at least two occasions because he was too dumb to know he was supposed to lie.

Welcome to our weekly game, Violent Atrocities or Gross Incompetence? in which we try to decode minimally informative breaking news without scaring the chickens

This is because a statistical model of word frequency is not a useful tool for modeling the complex interactions of the human body

@jon_bois a football player carries the ball to the 49 yard line, then the 50 yard line. however, after taking another step forward, he finds to his astonishment that he is once again at the 49 yard line. but how can this be? this is the grand riddle of football

ICE exists to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:

* to be armed.
* to be masked.
* to kidnap anyone they want when they require judicial warrants to make CIVIL arrests.
* to provide security for the Vice President, ever.

so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics

Good times.

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.
