Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

    6 AM Eastern, I assume? Is this some weird way for him to get his I’m-on-TV fix without anyone actually watching?

    I had never heard of Christopher Johnson before, but I”d buy him a beer:

    Despite the NFL’s approval of a revised policy that requires players on the field to stand during the national anthem, Jets chairman Christopher Johnson told Newsday on Wednesday that his players are free to take a knee or perform some other protest without fear of repercussion from the team.

    An excellent FUCK YOU to Trump and the NFL.

    if we tune in, will we hear him chewing his Egg McMuffins in bed?

    Melanie has never had to hear that

    @Steve in DUVAL!: Posted a reply to you in the previous thread.

    And re: the post, this news is terrifying. I’ll just wait for highlights. I’m at the point where looking at him or hearing his voice makes me physically ill.

    Maybe this is the key to open the Hellmouth all the way. Fingers crossed, y’all.

    Weirdly, there are some countries where if the “short woman” is youthful looking enough, she’d be illegal for phot/porn-ography. Flat chested models have a hard time in some countries, because the law treats nude pictures of them the same as child porn, because they’re “youthful looking”.

    @Geeno: decorum prevents me from asking how you know this!

    Or are you Corner Stone posting under a different name?

  13. 13.

    Geeno

    @Steve in DUVAL!: Actually it was by reading an article about Australian models suing on right to work grounds. Labor law is weird. In fact, most things are weird under normal circumstances, and current circumstances are weirder than normal.

    An obvious question: What do Nunes & Gowdy want to do that they don’t want to let Democrats (or even GOP Senators) see them doing and why should DOJ let them do it?

    I will give Nancy Pelosi five dollars is she asks that question to the cameras one White House driveway

    Death by puerility?

    Also too, now I’m wondering if Fox is gonna introduce the first triple-breasted blonde on earth TV.

    The interview was taped on Wednesday afternoon.

    After the last debacle, they are not going to let Himself go live on Faux and Fiends.

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: My guess is that Nunes and Gowdy will be given different/differing information in the first for those 2 only meeting than what will be given to the Gang of 8 where Gowdy will sit in for Nunes. I think they’re setting a trap to see if Nunes leaks. Either by putting the information out himself or giving it to the President.

    @Mandalay:
    All of the teams should just stay in the locker rooms during the anthem or do something that can’t be banned in protest during the anthem.

    I’ve been watching YouTube videos and live streams of the Kilauea eruptions as a distraction from all this crap. I alternate those with the Cornell Labs hummingbird stream in West Texas and the Kitten Academy live stream which is guaranteed to bring your blood pressure down. I can’t listen to tRump’s screeching anymore or even watch him with the sound off. I still feel like I’m down the rabbit hole and ate from the wrong side of a bad mushroom. I hate to think what tomorrow will be like.

    I would love love love it if Muellers deputies presented a search warrant on one of Trumpov’s pals at 6AM tomorrow. See him meltdown in real time. Oy vey!

    @Adam L Silverman:
    There was speculation earlier today and the last two days that the DOJ and FBI were caving and basically surrendering their independence. I like your version better.

    psycholinguist

    @Geeno: can most things be weird under normal circumstances? Wouldn’t that make them part of the norm, and therefore, not weird? But as I can’t remember the last time our president was a 73 year old, infantile, Cheeto colored lunatic, right now is definitely weird.

  27. 27.

    Adam L Silverman

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: @? ?? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ? ?: The other possibility is simply that this White House, which has trouble with details, failed to remove the meeting they originally scheduled from the schedule when they scheduled the second meeting with the proper Gang of 8, but with Gowdy sitting in for Nunes. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there is only that one meeting for the Gang of 8 and not the earlier meeting with just Nunes and Gowdy. But we won’t know until later tomorrow.

  30. 30.

    Adam L Silverman

    @Yutsano: It wouldn’t be the White House. It would be the national security section professionals at the FBI/DOJ. These are the counterintelligence folks. They know their business and they are not amused at what they’ve been asked to do tomorrow.

    The same phrase has been in my mind for days: “Squier Affinity Stratocaster slick silver”. I keep telling myself not so soon, but the urge to acquire gear won’t go away.

    Knowing what der Scheißgibbon has on his mind (such as it is) will be useful even if it is not interesting. I look forward to the usual after-action report.

  34. 34.

    Jim, Foolish Literalist

    @Adam L Silverman: Interesting– Wray and Rosenstein running a sting on Nunes?

    You heard Paul Ryan is otherwise engaged and won’t be able to attend?

  35. 35.

    Adam L Silverman

    @MisterForkbeard: Gowdy is a former Federal prosecutor. And despite his partisan behavior with the Benghazi special committee crap, my impression is he takes his access to classified information seriously. So he knows how important it is, from his past experience as a US Attorney, to safeguard the identities of covered human sources, which is what we’re dealing with here.

    But, again, I’m only working on what is being reported and won’t know more until later tomorrow. If we know at all.

    @Yarrow:
    No argument from me. I’ve never liked how much the military is glorified but at the same time, like public schools as Kay notes, are expected to solve all of our problems as a society.

    The crap like the sports stadium pagents and the “Thank you for your service” is an overreaction to how the armed forces were viewed and treated in the aftermath of Vietnam until the start of the Gulf War imo.

    Man, I think Steve has killed the American Airlines website. I been trying to go to Germany in July for the last couple hours.

  40. 40.

    Adam L Silverman

    @Corner Stone: I have no doubts what so ever that Nunes leaks classified information. I have seen no evidence whatsoever that Gowdy does. Unclassified, partisan, spun/tailored information? Yes. Classified? No.

    My bigger concern is the reporting that Kelly will now be attending both. That’s bad.

    @? ?? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ? ?:

    All of the teams should just stay in the locker rooms during the anthem or do something that can’t be banned in protest during the anthem.

    If they did that wouldn’t the players be doing exactly what Trump and the NFL want?

  45. 45.

    ? ?? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ? ?

    @Mandalay:
    Hence why they should do some other form of protest that would be incredibly difficult for the NFL to ban.

    Calouste

    @Mandalay: No, what the NFL wants is no fuss, and what the shitgibbon wants is to have them all stand there during the national anthem and finish with a “Hail Trump!”.

    I am having a problem with the site. Any kind of page refresh seems unable to conclude.

    @Calouste:

    Hardly. Even if every player stayed in the dressing room for the entire season, Trump would still claim victory: “Those traitorous sons of bitches were on their knees disrespecting our anthem and our flag. Well they’re not doing that any more! I put a stop to that!”.

    The players union need to recruit Avenatti. He probably knows nothing about the finer points of the relevant law, but he’d be great at pointing out on TV every night ad nauseam that the NFL is traitorous and disrespecting the flag by selling beer and hot dogs while the anthem is playing. I can see this bullshit from the NFL backfiring on them quite nicely.

    @Amir Khalid:

    There is a new autoplay ad down the right side (under “Support Our Sponsors”) that takes forever to load. You have to go up and press “Pause” on it. Otherwise, yes, it makes it look like the page is taking forever to load.

    I haven’t finalized a way to add it to my AdBlock Plus list yet.

    Trump has already altered my sleep patterns, so I’ll pass. Since it was filmed previously, you can be assured that it will be heavily edited.

    @Mandalay:

    The NFL would just say that those are private vendors that they have no control over along with some additional arglebargle about “freedom” and “private enterprise”.

    That’s not exactly true, but the knuckle draggers will lap it up.

    There’s a real need for a generalized, unified, multi-dimensional pie filter– a filter that is valid in all intertial reference frames. So that Fox fans may ask themselves “Why are they talking about pies?”
