Leaving out the pedantic "a thumb is not a finger" trope, I see Bill Cassidy there with 6 fingers up. I wonder what the psychology is behind him holding up the thumb to signify "six". Most people I think would hold up the index finger.
Or maybe the question is what does the psychology say about me to even notice this and bring it up for discussion.

He's searching for a way to say "he told me I was better than all those black and brown people and HE IS RIGHT AND I AM AND TAKE THAT!"....but kinda worried if he says that on camera maybe it'll come back to bite him (so let's give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not completely stupid)
Todd Blanche is pulling an Ernst Lautz, whose argument was that his job as Nazi Prosecutor was just boring routine legalize- except-
Routine under the shadows: Lautz's primary argument was that he did ordinary business in a legitimate court. The People's Court was not a Nazi invention; it was established in the 1920s to deal with a wave of political violence, and it followed ordinary though speeded-up procedures. High-profile political cases were managed by the Minister of Justice (the also-notorious and deceased Thierack) and decided by the judges, leaving Lautz (he argues) as the mere functionary in the middle. Much of his evidence seems calculated to show how boring his work was.
Even the boring documents carry a message when patterns emerge, and one was in the routine lead-in language for minor changes in law and procedure: All the changes were noted as the product of negotiations between Justice, the Reich Chancellery, and the Party Chancellery-which meant that everything went through Martin Bormann, Hitler's deputy, who also had a veto over every appointment and promotion. The whole ministry operated under Party supervision.
A smoking gun: Amidst all the bland routine in Lautz's material, one striking legal change sticks out, years before Hitler's 1942 announcement of a future complete Nazification of German law. In 1939 Hitler announced that he had the legal authority to make an "extraordinary objection" to any judicial decision he disagreed with, thus overturning it. In case anyone missed the point, Judge Freisler published a memo explaining that German law no longer depended on traditional sources; it now depended on Nazi policy and Hitler's wishes. In short, the rule of law was over.
Ernst Launtz was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to 10 years prison. Apparently served 5. Collected a German pension and died at age 91.
Are you going to bomb Israel, Donnie? Because their continued bombings seem to be interfering with Iran's requirements for peace, too. Or are we just going to pretend that's not the biggest obstacle right now?
he really enjoys fighting with America's allies, given that he's essentially the USA's number one enemy. Add the frightening recent threats to South Korea as well.
It will be like the Monty Python sketch where the crew runs out of ladies’ clothing and has to resort to other costumes in their lifeboat announcement.
>>CASSIDY: Yes, again, people always want to bring that up. And all I can say is, you have to you have to live life living forward.<<
Murc's Law, baby! Billy Boy is a Republican, so holding him accountable for consequences of his actions make no more sense than holding a large shark accountable for eating seals or a brain-injured howler monkey for flinging its own shit.
Accountability is for Dems only here in end-stage America!
Remember when people made fun of Kerry for being a "flip-flopper?" It's awesome how right-wingers can so shamelessly point fingers and then brush off criticism for the same shit.
Surely they'll also be testing a more potent, faster acting alcohol-containing beverage for use in coping with the fresh challenges associated with operating a flying car.
Also, using such a vehicle is traveling rather than driving, so no licensure, registration, or insurance necessary!

Still a better win rate than Assface's election challenges.

It's going to be fun when MAGA gets to fully appreciate the FO-phase of stigmatization and ostracization.
Is this what obliterated looks like?
Bombshell WSJ Report Reveals Iran’s ‘Secret Plan’ to Expand War With Trump: ‘Main War Has Not Yet Begun’
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/bombshell-wsj-report-reveals-irans-secret-plan-to-expand-war-with-trump-main-war-has-not-yet-begun/
I guess those Iran war plans Assface showed to randos and was audibly recorded doing it really paid off. For someone.
wheeeeeeee!

Trump on White House staffers: "These young, beautiful girls! These young, these gorgeous, beautiful girls."

"You are all that matters to me ... I want to bring you joy."

As perversion goes THIS sick and twisted relationship is at the top of the list.
I was curious about the previous Natalie Harp:

*barf*
Hitler and Eva Braun vibes.
And, say, isn’t he in the process of having a bunker built?
With JD Vance as Blondie, their troublesome, undisciplined dog, who constantly abuses the furniture.
And who Hitler later had poisoned.
More Hand that rocks the cradle vibes.
Except he seems to be into it.
"Boil my bunny! Here!"
Who can look at Jake Tapper’s phony-baloney “serious journalism” face without laughing?
Clearly, Joe Biden's Age is solely responsible for Cassidy's vote to confirm Heroin McWhalebear.

Dude BSOD'd.
HE LIKES WHAT HE SAID AND DID! HEY TRUMPY!
HE HATES EVERYTHING!
THAT'S WHY I LIKE HIM!
"I can call folks n***** in public now?"
It’s important to have convictions and to stand by them with such eloquence.
Fascism isn’t about facts; it’s about feelings.

Aaaand scene!

Yeah, and an allied bomb fell on Freisler's bald head. Too bad, so sad.
Hopefully Blanche will meet his fate in a bunker alongside his boss.

Donald Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it ‘gets in the way’ of ending Iran war
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/17/donald-trump-threatens-bomb-oman?CMP=share_btn_url
Oman, what a dipshit!
Are you going to bomb Israel, Donnie? Because their continued bombings seem to be interfering with Iran's requirements for peace, too. Or are we just going to pretend that's not the biggest obstacle right now?
I had an epiphany this morning. Lets make Israel the 51st state! It take our money but we apparently have no control over its behavior
he really enjoys fighting with America's allies, given that he's essentially the USA's number one enemy. Add the frightening recent threats to South Korea as well.
Almost like he's beholden to a hostile foreign power or something.
He's kissing NK ass because they're helping Putin more than Donny is. "Remember me, Putin? I love you too"
Never forget, you don't know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You think you do, but you don't.
I wonder which of America's other allies he's going to "threaten" to bomb?
France? Canada? Liechtenstein?
California
Greenland/Denmark
Guam.
Whatever, TACO.
I'm gonna get you!!!!
Later!!!!
If Trump wanted to bomb what was getting in the way of ending the Iran war, then he would bomb himself
He does, multiple times a day, hence the diapers
Arguable that he's usually bombed out of his mind anyway.
Imagine the cowardice on display when the Trumptanic hits the inevitable iceberg.
Excited to find out how all of this is the fault of Biden and Obama.
Now, if Obama just had stopped being so Black...
It will be like the Monty Python sketch where the crew runs out of ladies’ clothing and has to resort to other costumes in their lifeboat announcement.
I refuse to allow myself to submit to sentiments of foreboding doom. Instead I intentd to focus my
seething ire upon the orange abomination until it makes him cry.
He's already shitting his pants.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
“But don’t rule out malice.”
Sometimes it can be both.

Bombs away!
🎶Those Magnificent Florida Men In Their Flying Machines...they go uppity up up...they go dowtidly down down...🎶
Now just imagine how much the insurance premiums for any of those Supercars will be...
Oh my god, as long as Desatan is on the first one, that'd be grand!
PuddingFingers' Flying Circus...
Most people can’t drive for shit in two dimensions, let alone three.
The Republicans aren't killing enough Americans fast enough, so DeSantis will pick up the pace
When Pigs Have Wings...
"Florida Man takes his car for a flight."
What possibly could go wrong ? . . .
Next up: Flying Gators!
wankwankwankwank
Seriously, what are these guys on?
Not reality. If they talk about it, they lose.
I am sure that people will enjoy the noise.
lmao
