Grouchy old fart, enjoys books, birds, baroque music, alliteration and, of course, spiders (but then, who doesn’t?). Semi-skilled at a number of unimportant things like game-playing, computer surgery and natural history story-telling. Lazy.
They know perfectly well. They just don’t care. Unless they get pressured very strongly, this is what they do, because money talks louder than voters.

Nice juvenile White-crowned! The red horseshoe cap on the “crested” head, the very grey neck and throat, and the separate teardrops that make up the wingbars, are all clearly visible. I often see these stretch upright more than the squat White-throateds, but this one is hunkered down.

My favorite was the “I beg your pardon” game, but a close second was the midnight hike to see a film. But they were all magnificent. The mask-wearing car ride, for instance. He’s a very interesting man.. Only Vic Reeves is as, ah, unusual in his thinking!

Life-sized? She was clearly a tiny woman, then; that can’t be more than a foot high..

I figure it’s a calculation. They intend to be early supporters of the American Nazi Party, so that they’ll be well-positioned for contracts for the camps and prison complexes.

Wow - that promise wasn’t worth the paper it’s not printed on. What kind of unbelievable fools believe a serial liar who has already repeatedly lied to the fools’ faces?
I know he’s shameless, but I’m actually embarrassed for his whole family.

Bob’s the toughest on that show, since most of his life seems to be made up of the most incredible and unbelievable events. Plus his delivery is so wonderfully ridiculous, you can’t help but disbelieve him until it turns out he was telling the truth.

Boy is that xeet bullshit. Self-serving justifications for what awful shit we choose to do are almost worse than the awful shit itself.

I suspect the primary consideration was that the airlines might decide to stop throwing money at those Senators if they didn’t sell out America.
A moment’s thought would have revealed those fears to be groundless - were those airlines going to throw that money at the Republicans who caused the mess?

Easy: with a fifty-year mortgage, you’re paying more rent than you can afford for your whole life and owning nothing. Plus, you’re your own landlord and have to pay for and fix all the problems.

He’s The Man. One of my absolute favorites, and not just because I like (badly drawn) spiders.

His comfort and personal security are all that counts. We were unable to threaten either sufficiently for him and his criminal buddies.
In fairness, if we were unwilling to fight against the obvious rising tide of fascism these past 40 years, why worry now? They’re just us.

Easily, it turns out. They just don’t; they count on the well-known fact that voters have the memories of goldfish and are easily trained by shiny lies from the TV.
Politics is every day, not just on voting days. We forget that, we lose.
