Mayo, vinegar, and standard bbq spices. Alternatively, whatever leaks out of the bottom of your garbage bag.

It's not about distraction. If it's about anything at all besides the random spiteful neurons in Trump's brain, it's about trying to overwhelm you. It all matters. We need to be aware and to push back on all fronts.

Chelsea deserved to go to prison for what she did, and so did Snowden. She didn't deserve the harsh treatment. That necessitated an early release. I wish she were treated very well and stayed in jail a lot longer. I will not forgive or forget her crimes against the United States.

I also think that war crimes should be covered up at all costs. :godwinning:

He's just making GBS threads on Rinse Pubis. He's also so stupid that even Wikileaks pointed out his financial disclosures are public info, so basically everyone is making fun of him for being a greasy rear end in a top hat.

I couldn't imagine working in that White House and not beating the everloving gently caress out of most of the people I'd be working with on a day to day basis.

Banning all trans people from the military isn't a distraction. That's like distracting from knocking over a Ming vase by dropping trou and peeing in the corner. Appointing Scaramucci and then having him go on all the shows and all this palace intrigue bullshit, that's the distraction.

Yeah, I was about to amend my previous post - it all matters except which of the loving rats successfully knifes the most others in the back. They all loving suck in most of the same ways and all need to be opposed and ousted. That's all I really need to know about the west wing drama.

Just like how Trump has said and done dozens of things that, in a saner time, would have ended the career of a politician, but now "bribed a state Attorney General using money from his charity foundation" and "caught on tape bragging about committing sexual assault" somehow didn't hurt him.

Trump isn't Hitler. He's barely Mussolini on his worst days, and Berlusconi is a better comparison for 'average' days (since there is no ~normal~ anymore). What people should be worried about, and something we can still exercise a modicum of :effort: on is dissuading the true fascists who are taking notes right now on how dysfunctional and vulnerable the government is. He or she who will *become* America's Hitler will be *facilitated* by Trump, but Trump is *not* America's Hitler.

Hurt him enough that he's the last popular president in history at this point in his career and is under investigation for having Russians sell him information to help him win

And yet he's still president, and likely to remain so for at least three and a half more years.

it's really nuts because while on the one hand, Alaska has a very special set of circumstances when it comes to it's resources and it's citizens (everything costs more, but their citizens basically get a super small mincome payment each year), but on the other hand Lisa Murkowski lost a primary and then ran a write-in campaign to win her seat so she can happily tell anyone and everyone to gently caress off with very few negative effects.

Wait, I'm going to back up about 16 hours. Brownback got a bullshit job as ambassador for international religious freedom. But religious freedom to conservatives just means the ability to discriminate against queer people. So... are we about to see an uptick in the exporting of lovely homophobic policy a la God Loves Ugunda?

This seems like just the right level of inept hamhandedness to make Murkowski an even firmer No. Also the type of thing to really piss off all the other Senators(except maybe Rand and Cruz who get excited at the thought of the Feds not doing things).
