Sure. Wasn't outraged at you, just moderately annoyed. I got better.

Yeah, that jumped out at me, too.

Do you mean bribes? Then yes, he probably is.

Someone had to go under the bus for that shitshow.

That may indeed be the case.

AND a mood disorder. Trying to do homework with depression can be near impossible under the best of circumstances.

Sounds like she missed her calling, as a Trump judge! She would have been the Supreme Court's supreme cunt!

I think she really drew the short straw this time though. Judges like her make horrible decisions like this all day, every day, and generally get away with it because the people receiving their abuse are powerless. This particular case just happened to be the one to get a ton of attention.

Her career may well be over come next election, and it'll be purely due to bad (for her) luck.

Are you kidding? If my cats talked I'd be driven crazy by the torrent of abuse within 3 days.

Hey, mom! Why'd you move the sun, mom? I was comfy there, but nooooooo, you have to go push the sunbeam out of the way. No, don't apologize, I don't want to hear it. Just go get me a salmon treat. What are you doing with those salmon treats? I would have eaten one 40 seconds ago, but now I'm settled in to the new sunbeam location. Don't make me move. Hey! did I say you could leave? I might want the salmon later. Just sit there and don't bother me until I need to be petted. Or to bite something. Either way you'll come in handy.

He was very shocked, shocked they got caught doing the thing and also too shocked that there was gambling going on.

So this came up the other day on... I want to say All In, that Pelosi and Schumer aren't supporting testing for Congress members and staff for "reasons." Didn't get into the why of it.

This strikes me as fucked up and may be something that will come back to bite them in the future.

I want Judge Brennan off the bench -- sending Grace to juvenile detention for not doing her homework would have been a stupid move even without a pandemic. To do so when Grace wasn't getting the help she needed makes it a remove-that-jerk offense, in my book.

Not so much because he cares if you hear him advocate plans that amount to plantation capitalism.

More because he couldn't properly articulate "plantation capitalism" without an hour of practice first.

You haven't been paying attention to Republicans, have you?

Untreatable brain damage is no barrier to their support. It's a reason to support someone that much harder.

Remember Terri Schiavo?
