quote:

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor claimed at a Tuesday concert in Texas that he told Republican Sen. Ted Cruz to “f— off” after he asked to be put on the guest list for the show.

In video captured from the group’s concert in Dallas, Reznor can first be seen asking the crowd: “Who voted for Ted Cruz? See, the lights aren’t on, I can’t see. Is there any way to turn the lights on? I’d like to see.”

“He might be here tonight. He was bugging to get on the guest list, and I told him to f— off,” said Reznor. Reznor claimed the group placed Cruz on their guest list several years ago, but alleged that “he drank all the beer, and was just a pain in the rear end to be around.”

As much as it disgusts me that the current POTUS is a fat lazy slob who spends all day watching Fox News and whining on Twitter, I take solace in knowing that his incessant whining about how unfair the Mueller investigation is, is believed only by the most truly insane of his diehard cultists ay this point.

the best example of why they can't do satire is that babylon bee about the purge. they said it'll give antifa jobs being violent. the purge is about how republicans (the new founding fathers) make a free murder day that's just an excuse to kill the poor and other undesirables (so few actual citizens take part they have to send out government death squads). the only citizens that take part are ultrarich christians. their joke doesn't work on any level.

Conservatives aren't funny, and I stand by the idea that it's primarily because they don't put effort in because they think you can say "so those [slur for marginalized group] am I right?" and get laughs. There's a bunch of other reasons too but there's a reason why conservatives aren't popular comedians outside of their own conservative base.

chapo had a good take on this - they can't do comedy because they get too mad.

I was just going to reply to tell you about the font (I'm fairly certain it's just Times New Roman, but set to a style where the capital letters are about 25% larger than the regular text which is auto-capitalized afterward), but I started reading the document and it is really loving good. Like someone has broken out their classical oratory skills to lay into the government.

Everyone seems to be angling for a pardon these days this week, but I think Cohen has been marked as a traitor in Trump's eyes (and not necessarily for things he actually did), so I don't see one coming for him.

Yeah I feel like an idiot; in this cast of hundreds of assholes, I had somehow confused Cohen for someone else (who is apparently a person who doesn’t exist now that I’m thinking about it).

Okay, I see now. Thanks. From the story you linked (emphasis mine).

Cohen is scheduled to appear in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday where he is expected to enter a guilty plea for misstatements to Congress in closed-door testimony last year about his contacts with Russians during the presidential campaign.

How I am reading the situation is this: Cohen plead guilty but lied about things to protect Trump and was hoping for a pardon. However news broke of Mueller’s team basically setting the perjury trap that Trump and friends humbled right into. With that now out and public knowledge the squeeze was put on Cohen to sing and is now pleading guilty again. This time Cohen most likely won’t be lying because clearly the pardon isn’t coming and Mueller has clear evidence of what he lied about

Cohen is doing his best to screw Trump as hard as he possibly can at this point. There is no pardon coming for that.
