Even Guantanamo just stuck with waterboarding, spreading Legos out on the floor of the interrogation room was too much even for them to stomach.

Now, now. When a woman goes through childbirth, she almost reaches the pain levels us men experience when we have a cold.

Republican with a gun = patriot.

Anyone else with a gun = terrorist.

This is a lot like a great quote I read this morning in a piece by Tom Sullivan on Digby’s blog:

Pfeifer resurfaces a pithy Frank (not Francis) Wilhoit quote that distills Wallace’s assessment to just over 20 words: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I know Mullin voted against certification.

Sen. Cramer voted to certify.

Yes. It is 100% true, 100% of the time.

too cowardly and treacherous to stand up for the White people who elect them

Yup, there it is. You gotta protect us poor little put-upon white people.

I am fine with treating those poor little MAGAs maggots the same way they treated Rosanne Boyland.

I’d also be fine with giving them a Darwin award.

Now, it doesn’t mean a lot to call on someone to do a thing he can’t do, but JFC this is just hysterical nonsense.

MAD Magazine was my reference book in the 1960s. You post reminded me of a spoof advertisement for crime training.

There were assorted satisfied customers and one conspicuous joker–dressed like a 1960s ad would dress a criminal–who boasted:

“I now jaywalk with no fear at all.”

It’s exactly why Melania doesn’t hang out with him anymore.

In a clear example of cancel culture, the conservative House Freedom Caucus wants to remove Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger from the House GOP Conference for their participation in the Jan. 6 select committee.

Republicans continue to engage in practices they pretend to denounce.

I have long wondered how long the fallout would last if sane GOP finally pulled away from Trump. I (unfortunately) think they would bounce back pretty quickly.

Yes their now-predictable flip-flopping WHILE doubling-down has them swapping out who the good guy with a gun is…when all other courses run dry for their arguments.

I liken all RWNJs now to someone totally off on some PCP/Angel Dust brain melt. They just keep thrashing, twisting, but unfortunately they never go limp from exhaustion and have a chance to reboot. Just the violent, unthinking, uncontrollable thrashing.

I have this perverse vision of Ashli Babbitt in martyr paradise surrounded by 72 virgin maidens, totally confused, and the only people she can ask about it are all named Mohammed.
