Yup. When people blow smoke out of their asses and try to convince us we can buy better insurance on a "free market", the first thing that comes to my mind is: Try to get a cheaper flight during the boarding call for the one you already booked.

Naaaaahhh, we're just disappointed that Jeanine Pirro is in a position of responsibility instead of in rehab.

Don't threaten us with a good time!

And our guns, and our shock at the idea that sometimes people just go out of their minds and do serious harm.

I think a lot of people voted for exactly that, presuming that they were immune to Trump's depredations and the destruction would happen only to other people.

Now it's all hitting the fan and there are Trump voters who are legitimately surprised. You can't make this up.

Watergate was a stolen hubcap compared to the shit that's going on in the WH now.

MAGA beauty standards, fortunately, are not exactly something most women want to "give in" to.

I've heard of shotgun weddings, but this is ridiculous.

And send them out into an area filled with Venezuelan fishing boats, in a vessel with a deck clearly marked DRUG RUNNERS ON BOARD in letters you can see from overhead aircraft.

Ladies and gentlemen, your "master race" in action. /s

Seriously, were these guys related to the Jade Helm conspiracy theorists who tried to shoot up an Army base from a moving pickup truck?

I was 7 when that happened, and I still remember it.

Well, they ARE in red ....!

And California put it to a vote. The states gearing up for pro-GOP gerrymandering have not.

Undoubtedly because he had a lot of money. Some people will toady to the rich for that reason alone--maybe hoping some of that money will rub off on them.

If this were true (which is isn't) and a group of moms ransacked stores because otherwise they couldn't feed their kids, I'd contribute to their defense fund.
