@tristansnell if this presidential immunity from all crimes goes through, what's to stop Biden from rubbing his sorry ass out? It's way more related to the defense of the USA. Just consider how Trump's playing fast and loose with national security.

So the former guy wants to claim “presidential immunity” for falsifying business records to commit multiple crimes, including campaign finance violations (so he could sleep with a pornstar while his wife was home breastfeeding his infant son), PRIOR to becoming president? Got it.

Brian Lawlor, Prof. of Old Age Psychiatry @ #TrinityCollege #Dublin wrote this about my #memoir w/#Dr.BruceMiller: "In Finding the Right Words, Weinstein & Miller succeed in merging science, literature, and great storytelling to help us understand what happens to the person and the brain in Alzheimer's disease. A must-read for all who believe we must break down the silos between science and the humanities to fully appreciate what it means to live with Alzheimer's disease."

The depravity of another Trump sycophant twisting someone’s personal story to smear Biden for their own political gain was beyond despicable. #KatieBrittResign

Another fine example of that wholesome, inclusive, kind #Christian love for their neighbor. And another reminder why I am a happy #heathen.

But wait, there is more: "He once claimed that he would stop drinking Dr. Pepper if he found out that the doctor was a woman."

One moment…

Nancy Mace defends her endorsement of sexual abuser Trump saying she cannot be questioned about her defense because she’s a survivor of sexual abuse

Make this republican brainrot make sense.

CW: sexual violence being discussed

Katie Britt really opened up a can of worms! She never asked the victim if she could use her story! Plus many of the facts #KatieBritt used were incorrect!

@randahl The Geneva says If civilians are intentionally being put in harms way via perfidy or human shields, those doing that are the ones committing the war crime, not the ones attacking them in an attempt to get to the military element. If anyone hates seeing dead kids, then they should probably be mad at the side not following the rules of war, which were formulated and specifically designed to minimize the dead kids. In a typical war The Center for Civilians in Conflict estimates a 9:1 civilian:combatant kill ratio. Israel is currently 2:1 ratio -- an unprecedented achievement in war. If Israel wished to perform a genocide the war would have been completed by Oct. 8th. Hamas can surrender and return the hostages at any time. Given that it hasn't done that, I don't know what you expect to happen. The presence of civilians is not a get out of jail free card for terrorists.

Breaking: In anticipation of Trump needing to pay yet another civil judgment for defamation, New York judge orders Trump to set up lockbox to allow all monies paid to him by Putin go directly to E. Jean Carroll.

LOL. Jimmy Kimmel just read Trump’s post slamming him in its entirety, closing with “I’m surprised you’re watching. Isn’t it past your jail time?”

Kansas Republicans call for resignations after attendees at a party fundraiser took turns wielding a bat to strike an effigy of President Biden. https://www.kake.com/story/50551360/donors-at-kansas-republican-fundraiser-take-turns-swinging-bat-at-president-biden-effigy

When a person calls for a permanent ceasefire without simultaneously calling for a return of Jewish hostages to Israel that tells me something about that person that I wish I didn't know but can't unknow now.

The state of the world is truly depressing. What am I doing living in the United States of America surrounded by these MFing haters?

"We must say enough — enough! He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again. He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again. You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What's right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.

You are decent. He is not who you are.

Can we be confident that he will not continue to try to cheat in [this] very election? Can we be confident that Americans and not foreign powers will get to decide, and that the president will shun any further foreign interference in our Democratic affairs?

The short, plain, sad, incontestable answer is no, you can't. You can't trust this president to do the right thing. Not for one minute, not for one election, not for the sake of our country. You just can't. He will not change and you know it.

What are the odds if left in office that he will continue trying to cheat? I will tell you: 100 percent. A man without character or ethical compass will never find his way."

In case you missed it. State of the Union Cold Open - SNL

Scarlett Johansson made an unexpected appearance in this week's cold open sketch. Saturday Night Live wasted no time in mocking this week's State of the Union speech focusing most of its attention on the Republican rebuttal which this year came from 42-year-old Alabama Senator Katie Britt. Starting at 2:29 to end.

P.S.: Sometimes it's easy to believe our elders were hyperconservative, and there's an old trope that every generation believes it invented sex.

Just to strike yet another blow against ageism and stereotyping, here's Barbara Stanwyck at 58 in "The Big Valley" (when I first encountered her work), and another when she was 18 and working as a dancer for the Ziegfeld Follies (and modeling on the side). Now that I'm 62, I can guarantee that the exact same person resides inside both images. Hopefully we learn and grow, but our sense of self, including our passions, never goes away. Please remember that next time you're talking to Grandma.
