I get it now. As the Firesign Theater said: “ha ha that’s very logical.”

I don’t understand what you meant here. OP did mean to write “unhealthy”.

Some of the long-term consequences of global warming are going to be absence of clouds and extreme winds. Maybe these bastards are just thinking really long-term.

If you’re Dick Cheney, you get an apology.

“The ambulance was for me … the amnotbulance was for the guy I shot.”

Overall I think preventing discussion is healthy

Did you mean unhealthy?

This is why it’s unfair to compare Trump to Hitler: Hitler actual cared about housing (and food) for his people.

Today’s McMansions will be lucky to last 30 years.

I think the Mussolini way is the best way of dealing with fascists, but unfortunately I’m no good at soccer.

I got a text message from the DNC bragging about how they were suing the DOJ for this and saying “if Trump tries to send armed agents to polling stations, we’ll know about it”. Motherfuckers we already know about it, the point is to fucking stop it.

Britain did this during WWII. Over 10% of their draftees were sent down into the fucking coal mines instead of going off to shoot nazis.

Yeah, NOTHING in ALL CAPS.

It was a great way to dispose of surplus bombs from WWII.

They were designed for the faster speeds. Speeds were lowered to 55 mph in most of the country during the 1970s as a (perfectly rational) response to the OPEC oil embargoes in that decade. Lower speeds = lower fuel consumption per mile.

Because the last time Congress declared war was 1941, and we have fought a shit ton of wars since then.

I remember reading for four years that Merrick Garland was just making sure his T’s were crossed and his I’s dotted before putting Trump away. Whoopsie.

Are we going to start polling on things like what the current temperature is outside, too?

My stats prof in college actually used to do this, and the average guess was always within half a degree of the true temperature. Still not worth doing given that thermometers exist, but interesting nevertheless.

I grew up in the '80s with Reagan and Bush. When Clinton won in '92 I breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to politics, thinking everything was going to be OK for a very long time. November 2000 was a rude shock when it became apparent that the world didn’t work the way I thought it did. Far more of a shock than 9/11 was.

For that matter, even the Clinton era was not what I thought it was at the time – although it was certainly much better than the current era.

FWIW the trumpers that I know don’t believe that any of the things you mentioned are true. They think all that stuff is a smear campaign by liberals who hate such an effective conservative leader – that’s literally what “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is to them.

Somehow, the only exception to this is the “grab 'em by the pussy” comment which they do believe he said, but they believe he was joking and said it just to piss off us snowflakes.

I have a bunch of trumper coworkers who love to talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome. For fun I’ve been agreeing with them but telling them Trump Derangement Syndrome means that Trump is deranged. They get quite apoplectic.
