They expect a modem Gettysburg, when the reality would be more like Syria with nuclear proliferation.

I think many Americans think civil war isn't that big of a deal, because our civil war was mostly conventional armies fighting over territory.

I have the same joke about Theseus, but I changed the setup and the punchline.

She's obviously backfilling the reasoning for something she did out of anger, it's sickening. Your bird dog killed birds with a single bite and didn't damage the bodies? Clearly a monster. Your intact male goat is stinky? Totally worthless.

The fact that The Fall of Minneapolis lies about the chief's testimony, and then immediately tells you that lying is wrong blows my mind.

I guess it's not exactly what Bo Burnham's making fun of, but it's definitely part of the same trend.

I was going to make a joke about how Trump will go after the clause in the Constitution that prevents the establishment of nobility. Looked it up, and it's the emoluments clause. All hail the Marquis of Manhattan, I guess.

Very fitting, since Trump uses the same nomenclature for the laborers at his property.

The idea that work is exclusively for men would be quite a revelation to the generations of farm wives who could beat him to death between milking cows.

Sure, spending half the week preparing my toddler for the time change is annoying, but I can rest assured that we would only do this if the benefits were strong and well proven.

The extent to which no one cares about the Palestinians is brutal. Hamas: No. Israel: Obviously not. Egypt/Jordan/Syria: LOL.

In an election system where 50.1% of the vote gets you 100% of the power, a two party system is what you get.

My favorite thing from The Fall of Minneapolis is that the American flag behind Liz Collin is hung backwards.

Let's wait for all of the information to come out before rushing to judgement. Perhaps the woman was accused of witchcraft.

We will fix the housing crisis by moving more people into the existing stock, apparently.

It's only fascism if it came to power in Germany in 1933, otherwise it's sparkling authoritarianism.

If you make him follow the rules, it will be seen as political. Therefore, we must allow him to use the courtroom for politics.

*Not* jumping to conclusions is unserious? It's definitely possible that this guy was carrying a MAGA manifesto and the police were carrying water for him. I'll eat a big plate of crow when that happens. Until then, I will wait and see, buddy.

Not everything is connected. Getting into a car accident at 1am and surrendering to police at 3am doesn't sound like a scheme to target the justices to me.

This actually has nothing to do with Trump, unless the article is wrong about basically every detail.

It's the siren song of violence. People really want to believe that if you smash enough stuff, everything will be fixed.

Any bets on how far into his 2nd term before he floats the idea that the first didn't count, so he should be allowed a 3rd term? My money would be under 1 year.

"Economic reasons" is such a cop out. That's been a cause of every conflict except the War of Jenkins' Ear.
