Bullshit, that means that Stephen Miller is absolved due to the fact that his maternal side escaped the holocaust. Same thing with half the hangers-on in Right Wing Media, I'd reference Laura Loomer as an example. Just because these people are in positions of influence or power does't reduce the tribalism-based nature of modern politics.

There is no configuration on the human body that will result in a resting pose that looks like that. Either she was saying something in support of, or warning on Kavanaugh's positions.

the "secret symbol for white supremacy" thing is a whole bunch of really laughable conspiracy poo poo

Like you sound like an infowars comment section.

Except it's one of those things that's straddling either side of "is or isn't it"- the initial freak out about the whole made up aspect of it led to the chud class adopting it wholesale as some sort of "guaranteed to trigger the libs" totem, which then led to some accelerationists adopting it as a recognition thing.
It's gone from being a hoax to being an ironic joke to being the real deal for some folks, trouble is no one can nail down just what's happening.

I'll reference the irony poisoning that took place from 2006-2016 with the 4chan adjacent crowd, similar thing there. It's all a prank until it isn't.

I really want to see substantive legislation passed at encouraging fair wages and benefits, but I feel as though something like this isn't going to curry the kind of mass support it would need to succeed both in proposal and in implementation. The whole Acronym thing is tacky as gently caress too.

Holy poo poo, did Hunter have some sort of checklist of Things to Not Do as a Government Official?

As crazy as that sounds, it wouldn’t be unheard of. And, given the high regard in which Kavanaugh has been held throughout his life, including during high school, it would make the most sense. Could there be a Kavanaugh doppelganger?

The line that read "a ubiquitous presence at booze-drenched parties" seals the deal. gently caress this writer for entertaining the notion and gently caress Orrin Hatch generally.

Related and really interesting, the GOP might be astroturfing the recommendations of past associates:

Rosenstein doesn't want and isn't going to resign quietly. There's no pre-empting anything. A quiet resignation is what Trump wants.

That's fine, but I don't think Trump is in the loop in any capacity at this point. If Kelly got a verbal resignation, that means that the rest of the executive staff needs to be made aware, etc. It's going to be a clusterfuck for both "sides" because the sheer ineptitude and overlap of duties going on at this point. There's no precedent for control of narrative or execution in this administration, but there is for manifestly acting against their own self-interest.
