You could make a really fascinating calendar so that every single day would practically stand alone for some reason, and you could flip through it in awe. Today might be the first day in US history I ordered those boxes from Container Store, after putting it off for so long, but I got so fed up I finally did it. ? Not quite there yet but I can work on it. Or maybe you've got to be Republican and feel patriotic rage.

Wow… Jim Banks truly is a fucking idiot. Why would anyone debase themselves that way? You would have to be irredeemably stupid to do that, and he obviously is.

is that the list of things that are not a crime if you are a white, male, republican?

I'm reminded of that Tom Cotton-crafted letter to Iran during Obama referencing Kerry's nuclear deal with them, stating that Obama won't be the president forever and the deal is moot and blah blah blah.... I thought then, and I still think of that as not only an unauthorized end-run around the President's foreign policy goals, but this is blatently negotiating with a hostile power without administration approval. Maybe not treason, but up there as far as activity that could be detrimental to the efforts to build harmony with bad actors. And again: zero consequences.

I like to think Joe figured Garland would want to get a little of his own back, in a completely proper and legal manner, of course. Too bad he's showing his ass instead.

Isn't debasing oneself a fundamental requirement and a core competency for Republicans though?

Except 99% of the time they're aiming at you.

I didn't realize I was even in a different thread when I posted that. Disqus kicked me from the open thread to here without me realizing it. :)

And yeah, I'm enjoying her beating up Republicans a lot.

Yes, it is. It’s still a stupid thing to do, though.

Lying, cheating and subterfuge is the GQP plan for everything.

I hope Haaland films herself feeding that gibberish into a paper shredder while laughing.
