I think there's a large (and easily discerned) difference between You Won't BELIEVE What This Congressional Politician Has To Say About Impeachment type articles purposed for maximum ad impressions, and that article we've been discussing which is a fawning puff piece and giant dog whistle for how these white women are more reasonable, more effective, and easier to work with than these darn loudmouths.

Conflating the two is shallow cynicism employed to avoid serious engagement with the state of our national discourse.

And who are you having this argument with again?

My dad got a glass eye after a farming accident in the 70s, has had the same one since, and you can't even tell unless he is in a screaming rage. So he's full of poo poo.

It's distracting because it's this:

Generally you have more than one. My sister and I found out my dad had a fake eye when we were like five and snooping in his cupboard - we saw his spare floating in a container on the top shelf. We didn't have that babysitter again.

He's just a douche.

I don't know how you could've watched Trump's behavior this long and not assumed that's how he would act. He doubles/triples/quadruples down on EVERYTHING.

I mean I understand it, but I don't understand it, if you get what I mean.

It makes sense that that's what he'd do, it's what I'd expect of him. But I just can't, like ... connect with how it works. How do you be like that

I'm not sure if I would agree with that. He was meeting Chris Evans and probably thought it would be a fun way to normalize his injury and make Chris feel comfortable.


Hardly surprising, but it's good that we're not allowing this sort of behavior to become normalized.

I mean, that's not really the comparison I'm trying to make. I rank Paul Ryan's tenure as speaker right up there with Lindsay Graham's absolute bootlicking moral cowardice. What a world to imagine where a speaker would initiate impeachment hearings against a president from their own party because it's the right thing to do. But up until last week I wasn't even sure we'd see the speaker from the other party pull the trigger.

But now that Paul Ryan has guaranteed what I imagine is a 7 figure paycheck from Fox and he's out for revenge, hey gently caress it, I'm all for it. I wasn't really trying to make a comparison about which position is "more powerful".

Although that IS an interesting, if not depressing point to think about. If we're being real, wasn't Pelosi basically waiting for an opportunity where she felt it was safe enough to try and change public opinion, of which Fox news is an absolutely major part of for ~40% of the country?

i would say being on the board at fox is more powerful. If you control the chuds you control the country.

I'm unfortunately close to someone with narccistic personality disorder.

While I take great pains to explain that "be" part to others, I find that I need to continueally re-explain it to myself. It's such a foreign mindset that I find it hard to maintain the mental model of how this person works.

The "toddlers behave in this way" that others have pointed out is a common reactive behavior I see in both Trump and my acquaintance when their initial behaviors are enabled without consequence.

He made the choice to meet with Rep. Crenshaw, though! That meeting seems like it would have been the perfect time for him to say something if he was unhappy or uncomfortable.

All you're going to get from the calls to Putin and Saudi Arabia are some expected crimes and genuflection. Obviously important stuff that we should know. However, considering what set off this whole cover up the transcripts plan was the call to the Australian PM, I'm actually a little more interested in his calls to the unassuming countries.

What insane poo poo did Donny throw at the Swiss PM?
