The face I make when I hear her hyukch hyukch hyukch and run towards carpet.

He’s highlighting their hypocrisy yet again by using the language they use when they are making threats.

Steal the name so conservatives have to rename as the Not Another Zohran Insurrection! party.

That’s a vulture in eagle’s feathers.

Imagine your ISP sends you a copyright violation notice and threatens to cut your Internet if you don’t delete some file and promise not to do it again. In that moment of panic, you are not your smartest self and will pick the first VPN that comes to mind.

The list of boycotted brands you cultivate will still work in their favor under the right circumstances. If you get injured in an accident and are desperate for a lawyer, you will remember that ______ and ____ is the way to go. Call -_.

This is the way it works. The brand name gets lodged into your psyche before you’re in that market.

Read up on Franz Ferdinand if you want to know how it goes.

Kimmel did not say he’s rightwing. He said the right is doing everything they can to make it appear he isn’t one of them. As usual, your collective persecution fetish fills in the blanks.

Me, dialoguing with myself to enter the public pool:

There’s a famous phrase: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It’s guaranteed to happen. The theme is played upon in LOTR when both Gandalf and Galadriel refuse the ring, knowing what it will do to them. It’s the most important metaphor Tolkien put into the stories for a good reason. Peter Jackson made those moments stand out, as he also understood the assignment. Nobody is capable of resisting the call of corruption when given absolute power. You are not an exception.

It’s not even an unwillingness to admit ignorance: it’s the lack of awareness that there’s already a conversation.

This is the take-home point. They aren’t unaware there’s already a conversation. Their hubris compels them to believe they can answer these questions better than whatever the liberal establishment has come up with.

I thought I was about to see a falcon murder a pigeon. But those eyes say “well it’s not like I have many options…”

Mitochondrial-challenged fascists will do life in a cell.

Why? Did the race decide it was enjoying it?

Remember how Nazi Germany tried to take over the whole world? There’s only one authoritarian playbook.

“Egghead neuroscientist grandma” feels like it would disarm me.

Wrong. The GOP has been planning their coup since the 1970s. Fox came out in 1996. They wrote the playbook on dismantling America and have been working on it since before the internet brought Russian bots. Before trump got enriched by Moscow money.

Lmao at the look Patel gives him when he says 33 hours.

Hey, guess who invented Fox News. You think they stopped there as the internet became the new battleground? Why don’t we hear about what the GOP bots are doing? China and Russia, though guilty themselves, are generally red herrings in these contexts because the GOP doesn’t want the fingers pointed where they belong.

How could you forget Oscar Pistorius?
