Trump "loves" people who are too conveniently dead to tell him to go fuck himself. Nifty way to pretend you give a shit about something without having to do anything meaningful in the contemporary world.

Yes. No idea what so ever. None. A few times, a grand daughter has taken her dad to work so she can use the car for the things her mom needs her to do. The grandson picks up pet food (they have a menagerie) and people food. Meanwhile, the little guys are too young to be left alone. So shifts watching them. And someone text grandpa to see if he's still alive on the 6th day of 100+F heat.(I'm good.)

I was wondering that myself. Trump wouldn't know who Susan B. Anthony was, but this is so clumsy and stupid I don't think it was Jared.

Trump probably sees this as a double win. He gets to claim that he’s not sexist, and he also get to pander to abortion opponents who are exploiting Anthony’s legacy just like he’s doing. The same thinking that pretends that any criticism of Sarah Palin had to be motivated by sexism.

Ketoacidosis is when the body starts breaking down its' own fatty acids, thus generating that aroma. The metabolism of alcohol or exclusively that of protein generates a similar process and the same aroma.

Uh, for a pardon to be legal, doesn't the person have to admit their guilt?

So she was voting for Congress and not just a state elector for President? Can't see how a Federal court would have jurisdiction over the latter.

Personally, I think Andy Borowitz'z take on the pardon is the best. He reports her saying she didn't want a pardon because it could result in her ending up on the same web page as a guy with a Nixon tattoo on his back.
