When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

I'm surprised Tracey didn't claim that Gottheimer assaulted him by running past him.

Hey, just saw that he reposted your skeet about how the Grants Pass decision reflects an "empathy gap." Apparently this guy has no mirrors in his house.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

I want to hear more about the alternate universe where Trump changed the locks to the White House. Like in mid December, Trump tells the Secret Service, "There's a locksmith coming today to do some work, so just stay out of his way."

I got fascinated with Featherston for a while. Either it's Nader's alt account, or he's the most devoted Nader fan I've ever seen. I'm not sure which one is worse.

I did not expect a post about Ralph Nader to be such effective block bait.

Could Republican senators filibuster a law expanding the court with less than a majority of the senate? (I used to know this stuff, but it's a long time since Schoolhouse Rock.)

During Trump's entire time in office there were no editorials from NYT demanding he resign, after everything he did. They only write such editorials if they think they can draw blood. They didn't want to look stupid, so didn't bother. It's not about doing the right thing. It's only about THEM.

Joe Biden has to hurry up and commit fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection quickly so The New York Times will think he's fit to stay in the race.

I've wondered the same thing. In her mind, does she think that bullies like Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson would be anything but terrible to a trans classmate? Or does she really think that Harry, Hermione, and Luna will be the ones rejecting a trans kid?

If you’re mad about the Supreme Court rulings today (and you really, really should be) remember that there’s a 100% chance Alito and Thomas will retire in the next four years if Trump wins, and they will be replaced by conservatives several decades younger.

Again, every bad statutory interpretation decision by SCOTUS could, theoretically, be fixed by Congress promptly amending the poorly interpreted statutes and thus superseding SCOTUS. Or by impeaching the Justices in the majority. Or by stripping the Court of jurisdiction. Or by packing it.

I didn't realize that for a long time either. It's on the "How To Play" screen, but I never bothered to read it. Someone finally clued me in when I was complaining to her about how purple always seemed to be so hard.

When Trump demonizes immigrants as takers and “not human beings,” he’s talking about ppl like my mom. She worked for years as a domestic worker to support our family. Classes at night for a while. She’s my hero. My mom isn’t “poisoning the blood” of America. She is the American story.

Are we sure that Bill Maher loves it? The only "endorsement" I've seen from Maher is on the show's official web site — but the fine print notes that it's referring to "the show creator's previous work." (The fact that the very first "endorsement" isn't even about the show is so very sad.)

The official website was really struggling to get endorsements. It brags that the show was called "beautiful" by Dave Rubin (THE SHOW'S CREATOR) and was praised by Larry Elder (who voices a character) and Hercules. And the very first endorsement ("BRILLIANT!") isn't even talking about this show.

I guess they don't *all* have to be different words. You could probably get away with repeating the word "donkey" a bunch of times.
