GET ON THIS NBC!

I'd say it's one of the very, very small reasons I'd want Trump to be in office.

So that this asshole can whine and beg about not being pardoned and his name being dragged through mud by the alt-right.

Because you sure as fuck know in his head, he's righteous and naturally the law won't apply to him.

No, the one line would be if the IDF attacks US Soil or soldiers.

That's NATO territory but whether the US NATO ambassador would have the stones to actually declare it an attack and activate article 4, that's another story.

It's politics. People literally make a living polling people about shit like this. It may not be right or even correct.

But it's just where America is right now.

It's progress. A little at a time.

Same! Except I use swipe up to go to Google voice and swipe down to go to contacts.

Folders are also clutch. I don't want to search for my apps.

I don't get him. During his inauguration, he had "alternate facts" that said he had the biggest in US Parks history, despite them never having taken attendance. The biglyest.

Where are those alternate facts now?

I was rewatching Community again and got to the Starburns funeral episode. Basically, the study group manages to start a riot and destroy the school, yada yada yada.

Anyway, prior to the riot, each one in the study group is asked to say some words about Starburns, and they end up trash talking the school. We get to the Christian mom of the group Shirley.

When asking her to come up to say her piece, the Dean says something along the lines of "What about you, Shirley? I think we can all use a little bit of Jesus during this time."

Now I've seen this episode....countless times and I highly doubt that Dan Harmon actually meant this to be a critique of religion but it was the first time it really hit me that this must have been how kings and dictators use religion to placate society. How useful it would have been to use an invisible, all knowing, all powerful god.

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. <----- And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

That's why. He'll jump to number six after he loses, saying the GOP didn't support him enough and they deserved to lose.

The main reason why it exists is to provide jobs. The number of people who work at the TSA at every airport in every state...no representative wants to cut those jobs.

I just can't help but wonder what Vance's tactic was here. Pointing out a Democrat's military service is only going to further shine a light onto Trump's lack of it.

Did Vance even serve?

The name isn't to point out his efforts but a way to signal to conservatives that, because he cares about tampons, he cares about girls in a way that is "unnatural".

The goal is to try to label him, put him in a box that the right can point at and say, "SeE?! He MuSt Be A PeDoFiLe!1"

The people who are building the narrative are trying to paint him as worse than "Hide your sofa" Vance, which is a tough sell right now.

I'm actually sort of proud of the Democrats right now. They have, effectively, pulled the mic from the hands of Trump and Fox, name called them to the point that the Republicans are scrambling, actually panicking, about the election.

It's always "Immigrants are stealing our jobs!"

And never "The company owner hired an immigrant!"

Shows you just how fucked up these people are.
