I dare not wish for anything that relates to Mitch McConnell. Both because by wishing it I might guarantee that it doesn't happen, and also because by wishing I might somehow make it happen. We have not ruled out these potential forms of causation sufficiently for me to wish anything, but if I were...

The VP one will not. They are saying they will have the candidates 12 feet apart and require masks for everyone in attendance. Weak. Very weak.

Good morning!

Indeed, the House passed rules and Mitch McConnel explicitly stated the Senate would not change the rules for remote voting. I’m not sure if they changed that.

Pooyah!

Terlingua is not a ghost town. It’s a small isolated town in West Texas. We’ve worked in their community garden three or four times over the last ten years.

I do not delight in his suffering. I am just saying I am not giving him any sympathy. Well you seem to be taking some pride or something positive, because your using this situation to point out his shortcomings. Look, I’m not really trying to give you shit because I seriously understand and have fe...

I do think it's too harsh. I don't think people should ever delight in the suffering of others. I'm not saying I've never felt that way- I certainly have and I think that was me being a terrible person. I understand that this schadenfreude is natural- but I don't think it should be celebrated at all...

I think that's too harsh. I don't want anyone to have to go through the worst parts of COVID- and possibly die. I don't like him, and I understand how he's a victim of his own incompetence- but this is an awful disease. I don't want anyone to suffer.

Like a poisoned toadstool

I would love for Ronster to explain everything very clearly after shitshow of last night about proud boys. I don't think that's fair. Ron was making a specific point about a prior statement. I don't think we should be castigating him and forcing to defend everything Trump does. Ron's a good guy. Tr...

Needless to say, I’m not a ninja. That's exactly what a ninja would say. Exactly. I was telling this story to someone else yesterday, and they said, "Like in the PInk Panther movie?" and I totally forgot that's what the guy did in Pink Panther- it also didn't make him good at self defense...

She can only pledge loyalty to her husband, who is her “master” under that far right religious group she’s in.

Y’all know he refused to formally prep, right? His “prep” was to have aides, Christi and Giuliani pepper him randomly with questions and insults to see how he’d react. It reminds me of when I was 10 and wanted to prepare to be a ninja by asking Mike to try to secretly attack me when I was not ready ...

Wasn’t Asclan the lion in Narnia?

Immediately after the Proud Boys statement, I looked at Jen and said, "That's the only thing anyone will talk about tomorrow." It was truly breathtaking.

When are we getting more episodes? I need my history fix!

Yoice!
