Like most great literature written by men, it was probably written by his wife.

@jon-nyc it’s reasonable to conclude that in isolation Trump’s unprovable allegations of election fraud are a worse precedent than electors abusing faithlessness to express their affiliation with a pop culture mob of hatred against the winner of the election. I did not bring the example up in the hopes of drawing an equivalence between the two, but rather to present an example of something ignored and memory holed - to the extent few people even knew of the scheme - in service of the widespread mindlessly destructive social idea know as TDS. All that said, I do not anticipate claims of election fraud to be as big a thing going forward as they are with Trump. This is an unfortunate bump in the road, a predictable one upon his defeat. You give him more credit than I do if you think the example he is setting, which will fail and which would cost a more normative person reputation, will lead future politicians to follow suit. You can feel free to say I told you so in 4 years as we see how the next loser handles their loss.

You’d figure that after seeing videos of earlier versions, the porch pirates would have learnt to open packages through a big plastic bag.

[gripe] When comparing two things, can’t they just put the whole thing in a two column table form and be done with it? That would be a lot more efficient than reading paragraphs. [/gripe]

What, you run out of AOL CDs?

The White House Statement: "Stephanie Mohr — President Trump granted a full pardon to Stephanie Mohr. Her clemency is supported by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund and the Fraternal Order of Police. Ms. Mohr was a police officer in Prince George’s County where she achieved the distinction of being the first female canine handler in the Department’s history. She served 10 years in prison for releasing her K-9 partner on a burglary suspect in 1995, resulting in a bite wound requiring ten stitches. Officer Mohr was a highly commended member of the police force prior to her prosecution. Today’s action recognizes that service and the lengthy term that Ms. Mohr served in prison."

@bachophile nice, I got the pacific blue color too. It’s nice.

I understand their decision and honestly hope it all works out for the best for them. I don't see how it would be my place to judge them or tell them what they ought to do.

@copper said in Christmas Flashmob: And some day I'll be in the middle of one of these things I will sing as loudly as possible This will terrify the chorus.

It's a bit sad that the first thing that springs to mind when somebody can't find an obscure Bob Dylan song nobody listens to is that he's been cancelled.

@xenon

Manafort? Really?

Sez you.

I posted this, not so much as a dig at Prime Minister Zoolander, but as a dig at the "editors" at Politico.

Wait I thought removing Trump from office would fix this. I was promised that all day every day.

Last paragraph says it all. They will be out of business. The strong ones will figure out a new gig when this all clears up but it totally sucks to lose it all.

@bachophile said in Israel to hold election again: See the vaccination by country thread. That what matters to people here. Not the political bullshit. My experience has been that most people here don't care about the political bullshit either. We almost never talked politics at work, we never discuss it in family get-togethers, and other places. I think TNNCR is the exception, and far from being normal representative of most of the country.
