It's so weird when journalists talk about "moderate" Republicans. It's as though terrorists took control of the Super Bowl and one terrorist said "we're going to kill all the hostages" and the other said "we're going to kill all the hostages except children" and journalists started calling the second one "the moderate."

@Teri_Kanefield It would be off-brand for Trump to not insist that he was the real winner and the nomination was stolen from him. And he probably doesn't believe they'll ultimately put him in jail (I don't really believe it either). OTOOH, if he's sentenced to prison before the election maybe he'd be desperate enough that he'd actually support the GOP nominee if they promised to pardon him? Trump's stubborn, but is he "I'd rather die in prison than help someone else be president" stubborn?

@Teri_Kanefield OTOOOH, maybe if another Republican won the presidency they would rather Trump stay in jail where he could cause them less trouble and not run against them in the next election so they'd just ... not pardon him.

@stux The "benefit of the doubt" is an old-fashioned concept but I'm glad to see it's not gone entirely out of style.

@stux Jesus, I'm shocked this has lead to death threats. Some people see every single thing in their life as an existential crisis that requires a violent response. It's horrifying.

Sometimes I get friend requests on Facebook from women I don't know that are pictures of them posing sexily for the camera, because I guess that's some sort of business funnel? Anyway, I got one like that, except besides pictures of herself she has pictures of ... her guns! Like, pictures of actual guns that I guess she owns? I'm definitely not her target demo.

Hey #Fedilab, why am I having to re-login to your app on my phone every day or two? It's been like this the last few weeks. @apps

There are two wolves inside me, oh wait one wolf just ate the other. There is one wolf inside me, oh hold up that wolf just died of indigestion. There are zero wolves inside me.

@Porpentina2017 If Obama had stolen classified documents, stuck them in the bathroom, and refused to give them back, Republicans would be demanding the death penalty. No exaggeration: they would literally call it treason and unquestionably demand his execution.

@mayonesa @CarlG @GottaLaff @kcarruthers I don't know how you can frame the court that stripped away woman's right to bodily autonomy as favoring individual liberty. They rule for liberty if it gives them the results they want, against it if that's the way to get those results.

@simon I'm not a big fan of the movie but he really did an incredible job as Scrooge. I wish he'd done a real Christmas Carol movie.

@futurebird @benroyce @RufusJCooter I don't think they believe the masses create things - they think "great men" create things. For them, you don't need the masses, you need Edison. This is the nature of an elitist world view. The elites think they and a few others are responsible for all good in the world. And the authoritarian masses looking for a big daddy believe them.

I follow a mix of very political people and very silly jokesters. And the very political people are so angry right now that I have run away to live amongst the jokesters. AMUSE ME!

@stux Agreed, but assassins tend to be nutjobs so telling them not to do irrational things is probably not that effective.
