"Space is going to finally be glam,” Katy Perry said, bizarrely. “Let me tell you something. If I could take glam up with me, I would do that. We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.”

You have to wonder how many women they reached out to before this group was selected.

I would have gone for some Baby Lasagna instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTBrVNZtnys

Now do their CEOs ...

then why lie about your height, weight and health?

For those of you scoring at home, you'll notice all of these universities being investigated have one thing in common.

They're located in blue states.

Not only that, but he was on the other side of a flipping fence.

There were two telling things for me in the coverage.

First, it was always "thousands" of people at the event. Not tens of thousands like in Boston. Not something on the order of 100,000 or more in NYC (it stretched for 20 BLOCKS). All over the media "thousands" of protesters. Not "millions attend Anti-Trump rallies across US cities" like the National Post wrote.

The coverage tried to make it sound like this was 1,200 mostly insignificant protests across the country.

Second, most of the news websites weren't covering it live. And when it finally made the front page later that day or the next morning, it was 2/3/4 stories down.

Now ... compare that to what happened in South Korea. Yes, a very different ballgame, but it was halfway across the world and ALL of the news media were treating it as breaking news and halting all other coverage.

That protest had about 1 million people.

Our protests had about 5,000,000 people across the country.

It should have been covered as a much bigger deal.

I really hope some of the non-MAGA Republicans in the House and Senate start to realize their careers might be over if they don't do something. People aren't going to forget. And once Trump is out of the picture, they don't have anybody else with an iota of whatever qualities make people listen/like/follow/adore him.

"Accidentally"

This is THE argument/example for the need of due process with these round-ups.

MAGAt has a nice ring to it.

Do we dare go with "Trumptard"? Has a nice ring to it.

That's amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!

GOP: These. Are. Your. Heroes.

Lock. Them. Up.

Imagine that. You have unqualified amateurs in important government positions, and they don't know what they're doing.

His 'we'll wait until he gets to a 40% approval rating' comment speaks worlds to me.

I think the problem right now is a lot of democrats (and non-MAGA republicans) are still acting like this is business as usual. And don't fully recognize that this is an assault on democracy.

We need leaders. Not politicians.

Just another example of how the Democratic party is only slightly less fucked than the Republicans.

My wife bought one of these pieces of shit before we got together. A few months back I finally got to the point where I had the "honey we need to throw out your printer and get a new one."

"OK - should we give it to my sister or see if any of our friends want this?"

"I'm not sure I dislike any of your friends or family enough to inflict this much frustration on them."

I hear you. One of those 'you shouldn't have to pay for a service like this' moments.

In a moment of weakness, I signed up for Incogni. I was getting 3/4 phone calls a day that weren't leaving messages and it was getting overwhelming.

I will say, somewhat anecdotally because I'm too busy to crunch the numbers, but it doesn't seem like the spam email, phone calls and text messages I get have dropped dramatically. My wife too.

Is there a service out there that's the opposite of Incogni?

Yup. The whole thing is a ruse to get rid of Income Tax in favor of Tariffs, which will essentially act as a national sales tax.
