1. That didn’t happen.
2. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
3. And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
4. And if it is, that’s not my fault.
5. And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
6. And if I did, you deserved it.

Which line of the Narcissist’s Prayer are we at?

This is what happens when a person’s development is arrested in middle school and they go on to get billion dollar windfalls.

Brilliant to leave those three. Trump is itching to execute people and now his only choices are a racist, an anti-Semite and a Muslim.

The first two have his supporters’ sympathy. The execution of the other risks inspiring more violence.

I wonder what really bad stuff they are actually up to. This sounds like a blustery distraction.

No. There’s nothing in this particular case that can be extrapolated to “lots of teens out there forced into selling their bodies for money because of the system.”

This is one incidence and we don’t know her motivations. What we do know is that a fully mature adult, a sitting Congressman took advantage of a teen that was willing to sell sex.

Biden should invite Musk to the White House for a transition meeting and not Trump. Musk’s ego won’t be able to say no and Trump’s will blue up.

That would make a great article for The Onion. A whole bunch of things she announces she’s turned down that she is completely unqualified for.

Deny. Defend. Depose.

The bar has been lowered that far. An open bar will put the lie to all of this right quick, though.

“Captures” is an odd choice of verbiage for winning an election.

I thought he did that at a hotel, you know, in public. Totally acceptable. _/s

“And I sincerely care about the mission of C.VA and the future of my kids and the country.”

Reached for the author of the letter said, “If you print that, I will deny I wrote it.” When he was reminded that it had been sent from the same personal e-mail account that he still uses, he said, “I don’t care. I’ll just say it never happened.”

These fucking people. This is why some people find it impossible to have any sympathy for Trump supporters or any Republicans.

We’re about to see just how much they value personal liberty vs. the power of the state.

I like Stewart and Oliver but both have the schtick of “look how absurdly stupid these people are, we’re fucked, we must do better.”

That’s fine for what it is but what it is is watching someone else describing the scary thing and then express the fear you’re feeling. It’s cathartic but I think I don’t think it changes anyone’s mind.

People like Rogan get people to commiserate and identify with them and their feelings. Then, they come up with some crazy idea, institution or person to blame. It’s sort of the reverse order of Stewart and Oliver. So, they get people feeling first then get them to blame someone, the “libs”, usually.

The problem the Dems have is they still can’t show they are sympathetic to an audience like Rogan’s. Bernie can. But, even progressives like AOC, Tlaib, etc. don’t seem to be able to relate to rural/suburban, low-education, low-income people.

Sounds like D-Link is telling people to buy Synology.
