The “no chance” thing almost certainly happened, and “it’s not you, it’s her” thing is mere puffery.

“Look, I’m not anti-semitic, but what the fuck Is the State of Israel doing?“

In one party, that sentence is a legitimate question.

In the other, both clauses are a problem.

The residuum is left of the appendix, correct?

I hear you.

But, as a citizen living under Muriel Bowser’s “look, I won’t suck”?

I think autocorrect got your “replaces.”

I’ve seen that guy before.

And, to be clear, “that“ is what I thought before I thought harder.

I do not understand why I can’t lose ten pounds on “oh fuck, it’s more complicated than that.“

But, like, if they’re already within 40 meters of you at all times I think that might be your underlying problem.

You know how they have polls that are “generic Democrat” vs. “generic Republican”? I have campaign slogans.

D: “Yep, I’m generic🌊.”
R: “Look, I know what I said I believe in but I got a 🇺🇸primary🇺🇸 to win.“

Of course, Lindsey Graham should really be learning Persian. You can skip the IRGC commanders, but kids are kids.

I've told this story before, but many years ago, the late Walter Jones, a Republican congressman, voted for the Iraq War. He came to regret his vote for the carnage it caused. He proceeded to write a condolence letter to the families of every servicemember killed in action.

How does that make you feel?

Does that tell you anything about yourself?

Fun with 13-year-olds: What’s religion (like, what is it good for beyond ritual; Spawn reinvented moral relativism over the course of about half an hour), what’s ‘dead‘ and is that the end, and isn’t it weird that “burn in fire forever” is a mild word but ”have sex!” is considered really bad.

OMB has approved printing “THE QUALIFIED NEED NOT APPLY” on top of the SF-171.

By all means, let’s focus on whether the guy who was President 30 years ago (and, for the record, is probably a scumbag) accepted a plane ride for his AIDS charity long before the child rapist was charged with anything and not whether the guy who’s President now is, you know, a child rapist.

Secretary of Labor is reportedly doing no work, screwing her bodyguard, and getting her husband banned from the building for sexually assaulting staff…and that’s not even news, what with all the swamp-draining going on.

I like it, but it feels empty. The proportions seem off.

Then again, “not Penn Station“ is always a huge win.

I would do that.

SO I DON’T.

Homeland Security Investigates Remarks of Border Patrol Leader Gregory Bovino

I can’t believe you people are calling them Nazis just because they hate brown people and Semites and think questioning authority is a crime. So much for the “tolerant left.”
