It’s hard to find the original Daily Show clip, but they show part of it here. It’s the most vile fucking double think imaginable, saying “Hey, I’m not racist, I just want to disenfranchise minority and student voters who HAPPEN to be mostly democrats, and by the way, yeah, I’m actually pretty fucking racist.” I’m just glad that the Daily Show got to interview a guy who was so lacking in self-awareness that he said it all out loud.
ICE Lawyer: He’s out of our custody, there’s nothing that can be done.
Judge: I order you to get the State Department involved and demand his return from El Salvador, or else I will hold you and your boss and your boss’ boss in contempt.
Shouldn’t that be the next step?
I’ve noticed that cancer seems to be really good at killing decent people, so my solution is that every time someone nice dies of cancer we should go out and round up five or six total shitheads, throw them into a volcano, and say they died of cancer.
Same thing for me from a promoted link on Facebook from some magazine reviewing the show. Big episode happens, I don’t watch it that night because I’m busy but I’m planning to watch it the next night. Promoted headline: “Ten Ways [Character who was killed in that episode] Could Come Back From The Dead Next Season.” Aw, fuck me!
“the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,”
That’s why I’m allowed to always carry a vial of the rage virus from 28 Days Later, in case I get mugged and need to end civilization.
The former Berlin businessman I referred to earlier told me that he blamed his own group, people with the time and the money and the opportunity to know better, for what happened to Germany. “We ignored Hitler,” he said. “We considered him an unimportant fellow, not quite a gentleman, not of our own class. We considered it just a little bit vulgar to bother with him, to bother with politics at all.”
They thought of the government as “They.” The only possible route to a clear conscience in politics is to accept political responsibility, either as an active member of the party in power or as an equally active member of the loyal opposition.

I like how this is also a good illustration of her hyper-mobile eyebrow range.
Which sure makes this pretty awkward
especially considering that it’s pretty good for a macro.
According to Harvard Business School, in 1937 J. D. Rockefeller’s net worth amounted to 1.5% of GDP. In today’s wealth, that would amount to about $415.8 billion. And to be honest, I have more faith that the Rockefeller number represents an accurate representation of the real, if not necessarily liquid, wealth that he commanded, whereas rather more of the modern-day billionaires’ wealth is smoke and mirrors based on their own bullshit evaluations of what their assets are theoretically worth.
It’s still a contest between which dragon is lying on top of a bigger hoard of ill-gotten gold, but those gilded age fucks were really historically impressive.
Three German engineers at the very peak of giddy anticipation about to introduce their crowning achievement to a cheering crowd:
Has there ever been a person with a more prolapsed face than DJT?
You’ve got to check your card.
Normally the metaphor isn’t this literal.

Let’s all take a look at how well it worked out when America provided support for the Mujahideen in their war against Russia, but then withdrew that support when it was no longer convenient for us.
I love the idea that a product was created to prevent prisoners from smuggling heroin, but then someone said “You know, I bet that would sell great at Sharper Image.”
“I declare myself President for life!”
“So you’re saying there’s exactly one very particular way for us to make you not be President anymore…?”
“Uh…”
He made a lot of political cartoons!
Like this one!
And this one!
Oh, and uh… also this one…
I don’t really know how to reconcile those last two…
