I have literally had this username since last millennium

So the way I look at it is, we are doing our best to cope with a temporary crisis in church governance (i.e. Christ has ascended and has not yet returned)

We Eastern Orthodox don’t have the best track record there either. But a hundred years later maybe there’ll be a few “New Martyrs” recognized

FWIW I didn’t read your post as saying “it’s good to get rid of a cis white man”. I read you as saying “Trading Franken for Smith meant a non-abuser in the seat, who happens not to be a cis white man. So if you’re unhappy about the trade I have to assume it’s because you prioritize having a CWM.”

Apart from the fact that anyone who'd shoot a dog would shoot a person, it's that a dog will never betray you. He'll gladly die for you. People know this. You don't have to like dogs to know it. It's been bred into people like we breed things into dogs. The violation of it sickens people.

On the other hand…

‘markwayne.’ that is some trashy shit right there. i shouldn’t have to know about a guy named markwayne until the day im finally ready to hire a monster truck chauffeur

Yeah. The correct response to an abuser getting away with it is not "dang, how come our abusers don't get to do that too."

Report: 9th Woman Alleges Al Franken Touched Her Inappropriately Another woman is alleging that former Minnesota Sen. Al Franken touched her inappropriately during a photo opportunity.

One small correction: Nine women. (The ninth came forward a year later.)

Who knows how many more there are. I wouldn't blame Women 10-...? for deciding they don't want to come forward and get all the hate from Franken dead-enders.

don’t let anyone rob you of your joy about kristi noem getting fired. we get to have a day.

I assume at some point we would have found out why everyone curses in Chinese but we never see any East Asian people?

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

In all seriousness, she’s in too deep to start distancing herself from Trump now. When he serves her a crap sandwich, her only option is to chow down and say “yum yum medium-rare just now I like it”.

"P.S. Can I keep the Fuck Jet? All my stuff is in it"

Well, that's always been the thing. There's a whole lot wrong with gasoline in a lot of different ways, but it's pretty hard to top it as a compact, accessible energy store.

If you see this, post a Princess or a Queen.

“PepsiCo issued a statement emphasizing that Mountain Dew had no role in the planning or execution of the operation.”

I guess we have an answer. Officially Trump isn’t firing Noem, he’s promoting her to a big beautiful new job he just invented.

I can't get over how embarrassing it is to work for this administration. Feverishly checking the president's social media to verify that it's ok for you to say the sky is blue and then checking again an hour later for him to post that the sky is actually green and we're saying it very strongly

ExCUSE ME, don’t you realize the DOW is OVER FIFTY THOUS—

OVER FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

Dolan: I hate you

Da Pope: I hate you too

Dolan: but I hate the Trump administration more

Da Pope: go get em, tiger

I’d still say Mouse was the inspiration, whether or not she was consciously aware at the time. (And if she wasn't aware, I’m guessing her husband bit his tongue when he read the draft…)

to wit:

When I was four, I was friends with the inspiration for a character in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE.

be the one who gets the phrase “fuck jet” into the Congressional Record. just do it and be a legend

“Madame Secretary, are you saying you spent $70 million of taxpayer money on a fuck jet and you didn’t even use it? Isn’t that worse?”

looks more like an icosahedroid to me
