Well, when read by someone who isn’t currently waiting for the green light to kill all liberals, it was supposed to be interpreted as a joke.

Right up until he and his deputies showed up armed at their door making it clear it was no longer a joke.

A Presidential pardon won’t do you any good when you’re escorted into a Saudi consulate because you fucked with the bag and Muhammed Bone Sawman is upset.

Maybe he’s offering to let her adopt one of his estranged children.

I’m sure he’s got houses all over the country. Is he voting from Pennsylvania or Wyoming?

Because when the Republicans get their 300 million, it’s from, like, eight guys who “don’t coordinate with the campaign” but almost always have the same messaging, but when the Dems get that money the average donation is like 30 bucks because that many people supported the candidate.

Gun Grabber Don? You mean the only 21st century American president to sign an unconstitutional gun ban?

The Luddites had a point about the ‘de-skilling’ of work and the alienation of labor. And they regularly cross-dressed.

These people are just obsessed with enforcing misery.

Within two months and one week of each other.

Oh no! She might be denied a day and a half’s fundraising.

You could leave the top line blank or vote for the candidate trying to manifest her way into office, the Gates Foundation guy that won American Samoa, it the congressman who had Ackman’s backing.

Or depending on your state about a hundred other people who somehow had even worse odds.

Not left, not right but center somehow ever farther right.

Maybe this rally indicates that when the ‘not left, not right, but center’ crowd is forced to make a choice they won’t empower the Petainists.

Not entirely true, they can’t get enough of art that is exactly like the things they already like. A boring landscape that could have been painted a century earlier? They love that shit.

But if you dare try to get creative (with message or medium) they will demand your head.

You know how the Tesla board voted to gone him a $50 billion compensation package? After child support gets deducted he’s actually making a modest six figure paycheck.

The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought, and Rosewater read out loud again:

Oh, boy–they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!

And that thought had a brother: “There are right people to lynch.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.

I seem to recall seeing an infographic (uncertain of its provenance) indicating that one juror listed the NY Post as a frequent news source. That guy’s presence on the jury certainly had me concerned.

A farcical accident

It is and it has been since 1787, but there’s no functional difference between a law not being enforced and the thing the law’s about being legal.

(Art. I, § 9, cl. 8): “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
