I finally know the proper spelling for my sinister scheming noises

Looking forward to it! Is there a risk of there being too much chatter? I feel like this platform is still so new that it’s sometimes difficult to get enough people for some fun dialogue.

We will need to hold their feet to the fire. Restoring normalcy will not be enough. Accountability for all of the crimes of this administration is crucial. We must make sure that they know that anything less would be interpreted as them being complicit.

That’s not necessarily true. We would need the next president to be proactive about working with Congress to design meaningful restraints on the presidency so that they can draft the legislation and the president sign it into law. That way the next next president wouldn’t be able to unilaterally cancel all of those safeguards.

It frustrates the hell out of me that our mainstream journalists (who are actually able to interview politicians on both sides of the aisle) never ask the Republican congressmen how they feel about Trump’s blatant corruption. Why have they not asked about UAE “investing” $100s of millions in the Trump shitcoin company, and Trump immediately authorizing the sale of super high tech chips to them, which we’ve known for years would be immediately sold to China… which in fact did occur.

Most of the protections may only require legislation from Congress rather than Amendments, thankfully. I also suspect that Congress should be able to rein in the pardon power in a meaningful way without violating the Constitution. For example, I would think that requiring congressional approval would still be constitutional.

Sushi lovers only pretend to like uni to make themselves seem fancier to others.

Almost didn’t recognize him without an entire drag show’s worth of eyeliner caked around those beady little eyes.

Am I interpreting correctly that you have a wife as well as at least one additional sex partner? Niceeee.

That’s what I’m thinking. I think there will be a higher proportion of Maga Catholics who essentially turn at least somewhat away from their faith due to Trump’s actions compared to Maga Catholics who turn away from Trump for those actions.

Damn this hits close to home. I always stop myself before sending that text, but holy damn do I feel tempted.

I think her being generally quiet and inconspicuous over the past decade was sometimes perceived as savviness with a tiny element of shrewdness to avoid getting involved with Trump’s bs. But this moment reminds us that, no, she’s probably just not very bright.
