I sure did not have "Harlan Crow paid for a yacht and private helicopter trip for Clarence Thomas to visit a palace in Vladimir Putin's hometown" on my bingo card, but in hindsight, why the hell not. www.thedailybeast.com/clarence-tho...

Yeah, one important thing about that list of 350 people Trump would immediately arrest is that John Roberts basically gave him permission to do it. www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

I'm with Barry Diller. It's a complete scam. I feel bad for the fools who support the bible selling carnival barker. Just kidding, I don't feel bad. The world needs fools.

It's a very good song, although I admit to bias. youtu.be/xQIuapbeh0I?...

Saw Jonathan Coulton tonight (he’s as delightful as ever) and he played a song called “Red Shirt” which was apparently the theme song to @scalzi.com ‘s novel “Redshirts.” As a big fan of both Coulton and the novel in question, I was amazed and disappointed that I hadn’t known the song existed.

It would be a bigger story if Trump DIDN'T have syphilis.

Biden should constantly mock Donald Trump for deducting $70,000 a year off his taxes for a hairdresser. Two decades ago, John Kerry paid $150 for a haircut and it was a national story for a month.

Not sure how he ended up on "blackmail" either. It's straight market forces if you decide to not buy someone's product because the value (or anti-value in this case) is not worth the cost. You'd think all these cheerleaders for unfettered capitalism would understand that.

The Infernal Regions are burning a little hotter tonight.

It's hilarious that Trump asked the judge to recuse herself because she donated to a get-out-the-vote organization: "Hey Judge, I tried to stop people's votes from counting by staging a coup and here you are donating to a group that helps people vote! That is clearly grounds for recusal."

It's funny the way MAGA stifles GOP candidates. Trump can't mention vaccines even though his one "accomplishment" as POTUS was Operation Warp Speed, and Pence couldn't mention Donald tried to kill him. If I was Pence, I never would've shut up about that failed murder attempt.

I think the GOP likes it when Americans get gunned down in mass shootings. It keeps people fearful, and Republicans are all about that, whether it be fear of "caravans," fear of books, fear of science, fear of history. That's why the GOP refuses to stop the slaughter.

This is a galaxy brain take, but I feel like GW Bush deserves a tiny bit more blame for the current situation in Gaza. His decision to force an election in Palestine and subsequent refusal to allow Hamas to take control of the PA gave Hamas more power with less responsibility.

I don’t think interviewing Trump is always a bad idea. But treating him as anything other than a depraved authoritarian helps his cause by legitimizing him as a reasonable choice for voters. You can't go in hoping to get along. And that's what Welker did.

Trump today: “Biden did a lousy job with COVID. We handed him over a great situation and a lot of stupid decisions were made.” 😂🤣😅 Trump probably would've won in 2020 had he simply responded to COVID in a minimally-competent fashion.
