Do you really need to ask? Afrikaner nepo-baby is shadow president.

Man, I was just thinking last night that at least Pelosi never publicly capitulated like this, and then realized how absurd it was that I was yearning for the good old days of fucking Pelosi.

Might have misattributed the quote, but this was definitely something that the Cult of Skaro said to Cybermen during either the 9th or 10th Doctor runs.

“THIS IS NOT WAR. THIS IS PEST CONTROL!” – Dalek Supreme Donald J. Trump

Having multiple models share the same defect is just being efficient!

Texas choosing to not execute a man (for now)? Surprising, but not unwelcome.

Also:

In a response to that petition, the Texas Attorney General’s Office said Roberson had failed to prove his “actual innocence,” and that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals had ruled Nikki’s injuries were “inconsistent with a short fall from a bed or complications from a virus.”

That’s… not how the burdern of proof works at all?

Wouldn’t mind getting the final act of the Aenid. C’mon Virgil, I believe in you!

Well, that’s why this would be an underground railroad. If it was legal there wouldn’t be any need to hide it.

I think this is just the hill he’s decided to die on. Zion uber alles or some ideological shit like that.

Nah, see, it’s just typical victim blaming. He’s pretty much doing the whole “why do you make me hurt you” gaslighting bullshit you get from all abusers.

Well, he already got himself cancelled once over President Convict’s 2nd Amendment bonafides. Maybe he’ll do it again and it’ll stick this time.

Didn’t realize K-mart was even still in business.

Whine, whine, whine. It’s not like the US is the only people with a space program. Just go to fucking Russia already, you piece of shit.

Oh, it’s even worse than that. My understanding is that the families that invited him are specifically families of soldiers who died during the pullout from Afghanistan. Y’know, the pullout that Trump announced out of the blue with zero prep work in the last year of his presidency and dumped on Biden’s lap. They are celebrating the man directly responsible for their kids’ deaths.

Keeping in mind that I’m not an expert on Islam by any metric, I don’t think there’s any religious prohibitions, because executing people was something that ISIS was notorious for. I’ll also note that this tendency was one of the reasons everyone else in the region dogpiled them.

Clearly, this woman is Hamas. /s

More seriously though, Hamas not mistreating her beyond the initial act of kidnapping makes sense. The entire purpose of taking hostages is to use the threat of harm as leverage. So there’s incentive to keep them in relatively good condition, because as soon as anything happens to them that leverage is lost. Of course, people don’t always remember that, and the whole thing relies on all parties involved at least pretending to act in good faith.

That was my experience as well, but then I grew in San Francisco, which is like the gay hippie commie Mecca that the Christofascists jerk themselves off on hating. Plus we had a lot of minority students with potentially difficult to pronounce ethnic names, so that might also have been a factor.

Fucked up headline out of India? Checks article Yep, UP. Dunno if that’s confirmation bias, or if the place really is that bad, though.

Well, yes. As soon as his emergency powers go away his ass is gonna get ousted and jailed for corruption. So of course he’s not going to let the killing end until he absolutely has no other choice.

President Convict has a Twitch account? TIL I guess…
