When I woke up today the world seemed less filled with immanent threats to my physical and mental well-being than it has since late August. I realize that the scale that is graphed against has been unnervingly out of whack lately. It's not like today's reality is all sunshine and puppies. But my sense of threat reduction is real enough.

Only trust them as far as you can throw them, but this is what normal looks like:

You constantly hear about how much contempt the public has for the media, but keeping them on your side--or at least not hostile--makes life much simpler.

Lol it’s so good how her cadence just sounds like she’s Johnny Knoxville about to ride a lunch tray off of a water slide https://t.co/Ll7r8Tk8ho

i hate her so much

"we'll see how this goes... nowhere"

assuming they get referred to House Judiciary Committee, this means Obama is still the only post-Carter prez to not have any articles referred against him lol

it goes to the committee...and dies.

AS should she

I have a mild curiosity who has co-sponsored it, but not enough to make any effort to find out.

bush's paintings have more pathos in em because they are driven, maybe unconsciously, by guilt

Gonna print and frame these.

LOL Trump Jr. pretending he's never watched Fox News: Imagine how much easier it is to run as a Democrat when you have a multi billion dollar main stream media complex willing to lie and run cover for you at all times! Our media is broken.

Gonna print and frame these.

I don't know, I kinda think you should paint your own versions before you frame 'em.

I'm hearing Alec Guinness saying "sterile and empty."

richard prince style

would alec guinness say it like "ster-eye-ull"?

Lol that Johnny Knoxville comparison is so otm, that even looks and sounds like an old Jackass intro

"Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is Articles of Impeachment"

*cut to guy getting hit in the balls by a garbage bag filled with moldy peaches*

would alec guinness say it like "ster-eye-ull"?

Still really amazed this is allowed

House Republican Lauren Boebert now sets off the metal detector and refuses to comply with US Capitol Police, waking into the chamber. USCP not making a big deal but $5,000 fine comes out of member’s pay.

Second offense is $10,000.

She'll be running a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of her Freedom! any day now.

can we idk have the police actually not let them in?

She'll be running a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of her Freedom! Grandstanding! any day now.

@LeaderMcConnell
proposes a MID-FEBRUARY start to impeachment trial.

His pre-trial pitch: House reads articles on 1/28. Trump’s answer and pre-trial brief due 2/4. Then Trump gets a week to submit his pre-trial brief (2/11). House gets two days to submit rebuttal brief (2/13).

I'm running down the road, trying to loosen my load, I've got seven senate Democrats on my mind.

oh wow ethics complaints might actually result in action again

Boebert wishes she was as witty and cutting as AOC, but she’s totally ‘Girl you wish you never started a conversation with at a party.’

More like "Girl you wish you never started a conversation with at the grand old party", amirite?

I'm not savvy enough to know how this would play out in the long term, but the logic feels compelling to me

Get rid of the filibuster and pass everything: healthcare, childcare, family leave, minimum wage, etc. Pass it all. Make Republicans have to try to take those things away from people instead of letting Republicans stop those things from ever happening. You’ll win every time.

— Jon Zal (@OfficialJonZal) January 21, 2021

the courts would take them away from people

why not try and see if the courts bother

they don't have 50 votes to get rid of the filibuster

Dream logic.
