I'm pretty sure that a bunch of polling outlets threw out their results because they want to do some new ones that reflect the latest bombshell. There hasn't been any polling since the middle of last week and some were supposed to be out this weekend.

I hope he argues that the release caused damages to him by preventing him from becoming president, and therefore we get to see what value Donald Trump's lawyers place on being president of the United States.

The law is clear, printing or publishing a tax return that was given to you in an unauthorized manner is a felony.

And Supreme Court precedent is clear - when it comes to matters of public interest freedom of the press as guaranteed in he first amendment trumps statues which make that disclosure illegal.

There is no way that the NYT gets in trouble for this.

There's another thing here:

Marla Maples. You have to realize that these are /her/ tax returns as well. If she comes out and says, "Yes, I authorized their release," Trump loses all clout in order to A. press charges, and B. sue.

E: unless he wants to sue to end alimony, which he may do, but I don't know if a court would let that fly.

Scott Adams has a lot in common with Tim Buckley in that he made a comic that got popular and was widely considered funny for a while but now he's been reduced to a guy copy-pasting the same characters over and over on a cintiq.

I bet he's one of those shitlords who has spent the last decade running Windows without UAC, too.

Same thing happened with Fox News and the sexual harassment suits. They settled those things pretty much immediately, because they knew they didn't want to deal with discovery and all the poo poo that would dredge up.

This is true of literally any religious person whose last name isn't Phelps (in which case you embrace the crazy instead of compartmentalizing it). All religions everywhere are loving cuckoo bananas in various fun ways

In Deuteronomy, The Bible says that if two dudes are fighting and one dude's wife tries to end the fight by grabbing the opponent's dick, then you have to cut off her dick-grabbing hand.

At one point in Matthew Jesus is hungry and walks up to a fig tree hoping to find delicious figs but finds out that the tree doesn't have any figs on it, so he gets mad and basically says "gently caress you, fig tree" and the tree instantly loving withers and dies

Deuteronomy also says that Heaven has a big sign on it that reads "no eunuchs allowed"

Everyone likes to think of Mormons as being the crazy weirdo christians, but really that's just because everyone forgets how weird and hosed up the old and new testaments are. Every religion has its weird stories

Matthew 21:18-22King James Version (KJV)

18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

I remember an interview the South Park guys did a while back that I think describes Scott Adams prety well. When they started the show Kyle and Stan were the author insert characters, but after a while they both decided they wanted to be Cartman. It's kind of sad that he doesn't realize that assholes are only likeable and funny in abstract cartoon universes. In the real world, people just think they are assholes

If get a majority of electoral votes, you win. I mean, you probably need to pick a caucaus to side with for some matters, but overall, not much. The democrats and the republicans were third parties at various points in the very distant past
