Whenever I see his name I get this stuck in my head.
I only clicked the link to verify it was the same song as the one that gets stuck in mine.
Yep.
That’s gonna really play hell with the Fourth Directive.
Yeah, Frink. You’re off the board of directors.
PM sent for Castilian dubs. Not sure about the NTSC DVD5 download RARs.
All in favor of DuracellEnergizer as CEO of the universe? Aye.
If I was CEO of anything, I’d have no problem banning Trump from whatever the hell I was responsible for. No subtitles for you!
Unfortunately, I haven’t seen one iota of evidence that people who voted for Trump feel any differently now than they did then. In fact, I think his base of supporters is at least as strong now as it was during the election. They appear to like his orders and his behavior, and think he is doing a great job.
Mika and Joe are two data points. They were definitely solidly behind Candidate Trump, back before they had to deal with President Trump. I mean, voting records are secret and all, but Joe did personally advise Trump and they both fluffed the campaign all year long.
Admittedly, they may very well be the only two.
EDIT: Also, Puggo’s post right after yhwx’s is awesome–too bad the page break happened right there.
My only hope is that for every Mika and Joe, there are a thousand other Trump-voting Republicans who are finally realizing that the guy is a trainwreck at every level.
If, like Mika and Joe, they have to invent stories that he only recently started being horrible, fine. It’s absolute nonsense, but fine. I suppose they have to assuage their guilt for helping get Trump elected in the first place somehow, and it’s better than pretending to be a Bernie supporter and posting on Internet discussion boards. As long as they feel this way through the midterms, and don’t forgive-and-forget the moment all the money from other people’s healthcare makes its way into the “Relief For Billionaires Suffering From the Embarrassment of Poorly-Lit Tennis Courts Act of 2018”.
Schooled.
Did one of them cheat or something?
They both cheated on Trump.
Is cheating against the law?
It turns out loyalty pledges aren’t legally binding, so that’s next on the agenda.
On a related note, my local grocery store stopped carrying National Enquirer after who knows how many decades. I haven’t thanked them yet, but I plan to let them know.
Look! Completely coincidental smear campaign!
Batboy was funny. Demon-possessed appliances were funny. This Pravda-esque propaganda outlet bullshit? Not funny.
On a related note, I don’t understand how women like Kellyanne Conway or Sarah Huckabee Sanders can look themselves in the mirror and not just cringe for going along with this shit, and even more so for actively defending it.
For some, politics is how society decides how to govern itself. For others, it’s an acting gig where you read your lines and you get your check. For others, it’s a war that ends only when your enemy is destroyed. Take your pick.
Collusion ho!
Sadly, any more information on this will need to come from another source. Mr. Smith died very shortly after speaking to the press about this.
LBGT-Q is the farthest I will go.
All that monologue just to get the acronym mixed up anyway.
My MGB-GT, she’s a runner now.
Project Threepio has subs for the film soundtrack only. If there are commentary subs, and they’re not included with some preservation, then they’re not stored in any easy central location I know of. They may still exist though–I just don’t know about them.

The South Carolina Boeing plant where President Trump gave a speech promising to protect U.S. jobs says it’s laying off workers.
Boeing confirmed to CNNMoney Thursday that it’s cutting about 200 jobs at its plant in South Carolina. This is the first round of layoffs at the factory since it began making the 787 Dreamliner there in 2009.
Speaking at the plant in February, Trump promised a crowd of assembly workers, managers and executives that “jobs is one of the primary reasons I’m standing here today as your President, and I will never, ever disappoint you.”
What?? Next thing you’ll be telling me those jobs he said he saved at that Carrier plant weren’t actually saved.
I will never, ever disappoint you.
To be fair, so far he’s kept that promise, with me at least. Low expectations can make for a lot of winning, apparently.
Who knew Trump was such a Clinton fan?
“I believe the time has come for new immigration rules which say that those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years,” Trump said on Wednesday night at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
President Clinton signed this into law in 1996, and it is still in effect over twenty years later. I guess Trump’s work is done, so he can chalk up another win (after getting the Panama Canal built, at that!) and still have enough time for another round of golf!
Grenfell Tower will forever stand as a rebuke to the right

^ this is well worth a read.
I thought it was unaffordable and pointless green energy initiatives and the “progressive” outfits that peddle them that were the cause of this.
“The Right”, left to itself, never would have placed immigrants in that situation.
No.
We’re gonna need a bigger No.
I wonder if there are any good Republicans or good Republican ideas.
My opinion of Jon Huntsman (once my standard for how far right you could go while remaining decent) has taken a nosedive, Evan McMullin is still in the “not sure if good or delusional” category, Justin Amash seems decent. I know a number of Republicans in my area who are really torn up about the rise of white supremacists in the Republican Party–like their family home has been taken over by squatters, and people keep asking them why they don’t just move out. Because it’s their house! But of course my take on this is that they were perfectly happy with the squatters in their house as long as they stayed in the basement out of sight. And now the metaphor has gone on too long.
Good Republican ideas: I was initially pretty skeptical of Obamacare, but it turns out to have worked well enough, so that’s one good Republican idea. I would have been much happier with Nixon’s healthcare plan, so that’s another one that didn’t make it. Nixon’s negative income tax (which was also never implemented) was an excellent social-science-research-backed welfare reform idea that would have made Bill Clinton’s welfare reform look like a Dickensian nightmare, and an expensive one at that. The EPA and OSHA were good Republican ideas. Teddy Roosevelt’s anti-trust enforcement was laudable.
On the non-policy side of things, I have a great deal of respect for Chief Justice Earl Warren, who was a Republican. And while I pretty much think of Goldwater as the epitome of the right-twice-a-day clock of libertarian Republicanism, I have to wholeheartedly endorse his statement: “Every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.”
Polls just closed in Georgia Sixth… hold on to your butts.

For election nerds–most news outlets are lumping in early voting with mail-ins, but mail-ins tend to lean Democratic and are counted very late. The end-of-day tally will definitely favor Handel, so don’t stay up late. Nevertheless, I have a bad feeling about this one.
Adding to the pile of letters to Santa, we now have a letter from ten major health insurance providers begging the Senate to not screw up the health insurance market as they seem hell-bent on doing. This of course follows several letters begging the Trump administration to end the federal negligence that led to the upheaval taking place in the market right now.
Oddly, I do not see any reports that anyone in the Nevada state legislature received one of these letters. Surely some mistake.
Have it your way, but that doesn’t explain where Garfunkel disappeared to, does it? All aboard Paul Simon’s traveling roadshow of horrors, that’s where.
Garfunkel confirmed.

They’re all wrong. It’s a trailer hitch, which is a clue to his secret identity for those in the know.
Garfunkel confirmed.
In that case, the post-edit above explains a bit that “queer” was an attempt at such a word that failed.
