She’s got the crazy eyes for sure.

For those who don’t get the reference, I think this is referring to the Mark of Cain teaching in Mormonism. This resulted in black members of the church being seen as lesser or inferior by many white members. The church officially abandoned it as an official teaching in 1978. But the stigma for black members still persists to some degree unofficially, with some white church members still believing it today.

“I start kissing them. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful ancient texts. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the tablet. You can do anything.”

I’m surprised Alito went with the majority on this one. And a little surprised Kavanaugh did too. I’m also surprised it was an 8-1 ruling.

I’m not at all surprised Thomas was in the minority.

I’m pretty sure I know what his play book said, based on his career up to this point…

Step 1: be a total shitheel in college so everyone there hates you.

Step 2: enter politics through family connections, but make sure to lie about your name so you sound more Caucasian and win over your racist voter base.

Step 3: grandstand so much over stupid shit that you become the target of meme conspiracies.

Step 4: run for the presidency against a vindictive, malignant narcissist conman. Make sure to disparage him at every turn to try to make yourself look better.

Step 5: grovel and ingratiate yourself into abject humiliation to said vindictive malignant narcissist conman when he beats you to the party nomination and unleashes political hell on you (and calls your wife ugly).

Step 6: become despised by your own children for continuing to be a total shitheel and a failure of a parent.

Step 7: run away to Cancun during an emergency and when your constituents need you most. Side note: make sure to drag your kids there with you in case it makes them hate you any less. (Spoiler alert: they will just hate you even more for doing that, but oh well!)

Step 8: align yourself with the lunatic fringe of your party, even though they despise you and mock you behind your back.

Step 9: cling on desperately to your current political office for the rest of your pathetic career, knowing you have already peaked and that nobody outside some gullible constituents currently or will ever like or respect you.

A wizard never falls. He departs the stage precisely as he means to.

It was just Democrats expressing their (accurate in this case) analysis. And Republicans projecting, as per usual.

She does. The problem is nobody knows to look for her office under bridges or in swamps.

Alternatively, would teaching all his red neck lackeys how to use guns more responsibly and effectively be a good thing or a bad thing?

I guess they would be slightly less likely to shoot themselves in the nuts accidentally. But they would also be more effective in murdering more Innocent folks when they have one of their conspiracy-fueled mental health crises.

There are a quite a lot of nursing and medical admin staff in healthcare who are rabidly antivax. At least in America, so I assume it’s at least partially true in Canada to. I wonder if that had something to do with this clearly terrible pairing of organization and washed-up clown ‘comedian’.

Calling him an “actor” is incredibly generous.

Haha, strong ‘proud boys’ vibes.

It still cracks me up that a group of bigoted, homophobic men chose the name ‘proud boys’ for themselves. Surely they knew all the jokes that would bring?

That would add a funny side to it.

Apart from the fact that this counter celebration is cringey and time-deaf, that’s also a really long-winded and uncatchy name for it. Why didn’t they call it Straight Joy Month, or something more succinct.

He’d be a fool to try to run. Because nothing is going to happen to him with these convictions anyway. The vast majority of his supported will just wave it away as “persecution!” And his team will just drag it through the appeals courts all the way up to the US supreme Court, which in their flagrantly bias wisdom will just dismiss the charges for him.

Free market, states rights, first amendment… Only when it suits them.

Good for her. She’s facing a steep uphill battle because she’s not the GOP’s preferred candidate. But the party needs more smart, moderate, clear-thinking representatives like her. Hopefully with this campaign she will be an example for others.

I hope these disgusting cops get fired and prosecuted for what they did to this poor guy (and his dog). But that’s not how it seems to works. These scumbag will probably just get put on paid administrative leave until another police department recruits them. And then they will become a nightmare for the residents of a different location.

I just assume he’s actually the evil spirit of a white ultra-racist guy that managed to possess the body of some poor black dude.

Well done, you’ve created a wish paradox! Now we are all equally blessed and fucked.
