Conservatives: “Let the free market decide!”

Also conservatives: “Not like that.”

Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

Could be. My tines are ever dangling.

We’ll just see about that.

Hm…I seem to recall Abbott saying that if the abortion ban passed, “Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets.”

Hyperbolic headline. His speeches “aren't demanding the world's attention like they used to.”

Ah, the old ‘60s/‘70s repub-demo switcharoo!

SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in real quick if they don’t just stay out of the whole thing.

Huh. That’s actually the one that sprang to mind, but all this time I thought those were the same creator. 😄

In that case, “a lot” instead of alot. I might as well put The Oatmeal's excellent guide here.

I love mine. I had a Pebble, which I also loved, but the Apple Watch merges pretty seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff, and has extra features my Pebble doesn’t. I think they should either pay a usage fee to Masimo, or change their software. They’ve wasted enough money and time fighting it.

It gives me great pleasure that I requested this montage on reddit and General Pedrowsky compiled it within just a few hours.

Undermine democracy?! Gtfo with that bullshit.

They don’t want to disturb the graves around the monument pillar? Grind it down to its base and put a bronzed Union boot on it.

Is it just missing the t in at? I’m still confused.

So hard to say if they will

1. Rule that only trump has absolute immunity
2. Rule that all presidents have absolute immunity
3. Rule that trump had absolute immunity, but no other president has it starting…now!

Is “Riking” the Maneuver or lady-killing?

I’ll do something, alright! Those aren’t “neck decorations”. They’re rank pips.

This almost made me spit out my breakfast from laughing. Back in the early 2000s, one of my students discovered He-Man and found Fisto to be the most hilariously unintentional—maybe—double entendre in the history of the universe. He was a drummer, and went on to name his bass drum pedal Fisto.

Probably has a multi-million dollar deal to be either a talking head, or a corporate board member / lobbyist (or both).
