Adam Schiff literally did not do any of that. He read from the memo that was provided that says "This is not a transcript" like right at the top.

Christ, if they're going to lie, they should at least put some effort into it.

Thanks. They weren't completely wrong, because I was going for a multi-layered joke, which is why I picked that particular slightly more obscure quote instead of the standard "That's some catch, that Catch-22".

They've cultivated a voterbase that has assiduously not required them to do so for at least a decade. It's made them soft with water-weight, unable even to clasp their stillsuits correctly.

When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.

Can I just point out that it's an apostrophe (') not a hyphen (-) and that you wouldn't put an apostrophe after "Liddle" because you're not removing any letters or making it possessive. You'd do that if you were saying "li'l" or "li'dl" or something.

I'd like to recommend another book by Heller called "God Knows (Go Figure)" which is a fantastic read. It's essentially the Biblical David who tells the reader his lifestory on his deathbed. It's a rare book to come by nowadays but it's absolutely fantastic, easily just as good and funny as Catch-22.

I have intentionally avoided everything else Heller wrote, because I'm quite sure there is no way he ever came close to Catch-22 again. So hearing you say that is pretty intriguing and I'll order a copy.

I particularly enjoyed how after his first tweet blabbing on about how he was correct in using the "hyphen", he completely misses the correct usage of a hyphen in his very next tweet:

"Obama loving Peter Baker" has a very different literal meaning than "Obama-loving Peter Baker".

Andy Barr was on NPR this morning and dear lord is he insufferable. Presented with all the evidence he discredits them because of being anonymous (and obviously politically motivated due to not coming forward by name) and saying the transcripts are just him doing what the democrats want and that’s taking down those in Russian corruption which is obviously Biden and his 50k a month salary.

Thankfully Noel King was challenging him on everything but gently caress this guy

Not really, they're both racist as gently caress. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to echo "n* loving" into "Obama loving".

Also somebody needs to go back to August 12/13, whenever the whistleblower complaint was filed, and find any mysterious at the time tweets that now make sense

Hey I know we live in hellworld where words don't seem to matter anymore any anything the president says is basically taken as bullshit. BUT the president saying a journalist "shouldn't be able to write about me" seems awfully close to a violation of the first amendment.

Well yea the olds have proven themselves to be worthless assholes willing to strip the planet bare and have literal children die/locked up just for that quarterly profit to go up.

I’m siding with the kids.

The olds in my Sierra Club / DSA chapters are cool though. They are old school lefties from the 1960s who can’t believe they still have to keep fighting for the same poo poo they were protesting/fighting for 50 years ago. You can see the exhaustion in their eyes:(
