That may be true even if Massie is still a gunfucking redneck rightwing slimeball. At least he's not willing to tolerate a pedophile.

The real Arthur was a bit of a dandy who wore a corset and liked to perfume his whiskers. But he did (surprisingly) work to reform civil service and get rid of the spoils system after Garfield's death.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times | Seattle Symphony Charlie Chaplin directed and starred in the madcap silent film Modern Times, widely considered to be his greatest work due to its razor-sharp wit, comedic timing and of course, the music. In Chaplin’s final β€œLittle Tramp” adventure, he plays a hapless factory laborer who clings to the hope of a brighter tomorrow alongside his beloved β€˜Gamin’ (Paulette Goddard). A self-taught musician with no formal training in composition, Chaplin also dictated the film’s score; his most famous song, β€œSmile,” accompanies the film’s last moments. Timothy Brock, a Seattle-born world authority on early 20th century works and silent film score preservationist, conducts the Seattle Symphony as the 1936 part-talkie comedy is projected above the stage in perfect synchronicity.

Inveterate attachment to the underdog had me rooting for Team Mexico. Ah well. They made it interesting.

This isn't realigning Christian values. It's reclaiming them.

Christian values didn't change; they were just abandoned by the religious right when the Republicans lured them away.

It's possible that a gun has saved the lives of all the people who would have suffered and died under a Charlie KKKirk presidency.

Used to be a handy online trademark list where we editors would go to adjudicate such things. But I think it perished, so long ago that I can't recall its name.

Anyhow, if a company consistently renders its name a certain way, one should be safe in copying it, even in academic writing.

You pardoned him for it, so it must be OK.

Later yet we learn from Sherlock's mother that he was "barely six" when his sister disappeared. So either Ritchie has shifted Sherlock's birth back by one year (1853 rather than 1854) or his mother gets his age wrong.

"Failing upward" is pretty much the theme for the fuhrer's cabinet. Dude's not qualified for his current job, let alone anything higher up. But look for him to be confirmed by all GOP senators plus Forgetterman.

Well, yes β€” we have imported a president, major cabinet members, a law enforcement chief, and U.S. attorneys from the right-wing media, which is largely an accountability-free environment. It's no surprise that they'd try to duplicate that environment within the federal government.

Where's ICE Barbie? Wasn't she supposed to be part of this?

Reich isn't quite right: she wasn't booted for her corruption, she was booted for trying to drag the fuhrer into it.

This ad didn't cost $220M. Mt. Rushmore is dropped in, and so are the bison. A lot of other footage is stock. Ad co. says it received $226K. Where'd the rest go?

I don't think she got in trouble for making the sizzle reel. She got in trouble for claiming that Cheeto Benito signed off on it. I think corruption by cabinet members is OK with him, as long as they don't try to drag him into it when they are questioned.

YES. THANK YOU.

'Twas a seismic event in my life when, taking a course on Revelation in college, I learned that the Battle of Armageddonβ€”an event evangelical communities of my youth practically salivated over in their zeal to see Jesus slaughter their cultural enemiesβ€”DOESN'T EXIST IN THE BIBLE.

Megiddo, the site of said purported battle, is in northern Israel. Not Iran.
