I hugged my parents for the first time in more than a year on Sunday. Despite Mrs. FRP and I being outright atheists and my parents being sort of barely-observant protestants, Easter seemed as good a time to get together as any, now that we're all either fully-vaccinated or nearly there (I get my se...

He voted against Amy Covid Barrett. He's voted for all of Joe Biden's cabinet members and only opposed Neera Tanden. He voted for Trump's impeachment. He voted for the $1.9T rescue bill. He's been fairly loyal up until now. Counterargument: He's acting Prime Minister of the United States, and he va...

Also check out the bronze-ish statuette behind Steven Miller's right arm. That's right, kids. Donald Trump has a statue of himself in his office. The guy has always been a pathological narcissist. The problem now is that, having spent four years in an office which - by its nature - would make even t...

I finished the series yesterday, and wholeheartedly concur with JJ McNab. The show could hardly have been worse if Jim and Ron Watkins had scripted it. The QAnon Anonymous podcast is both more entertaining and more illuminating.

I read that and am now measurably dumber than I was before I read it. Jesus.

The sarcastic "Ain't America great?" at the end is what really fucking pisses me off. This is the same group of people from whom we have heard no end of the ridiculous jingoistic "I love my country" bullshit for the last twenty goddamn years. Anyone who dared criticize American d...

That "10-foot pole" reference gave me an idea: You're a pervert, Mr. Gaetz, You really are unclean. You're as tasteful as a tumor, you're as chaste as Charlie Sheen, Mr. Gaetz, Your dating pool has a maximum age of nineteen! You've got problems, Mr. Gaetz, You are lacking self-control. You...

His pathological narcissism is really getting out of control now that he's not in office. I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but my armchair guess is that he's decompensating pretty rapidly.

Weren't Farakkhan and the NOI sort of Trumpy, though? I'm not trying to insinuate that this was anything other than the act of one disturbed individual, but, given the vile rantings and conspiracy theories that Louis Farrakhan has spouted in the past and his implicit support of Donald Trump in 2016 ...

Everybody has a hobby. Mine is watching reruns of 1950's game shows.

I prefer that infamous clip from The Newlywed Game.

Also, regarding the alleged extortion/funding the Levinson rescue angle, I'm confused. Does Gaetz family even have $25 million to pay? Dad made much much more than that when he sold his healthcare business in 2008. A settlement for an undisclosed amount was subsequently made concerning allegations ...

If this suit actually gets filed, Dominion has really got to ask for Rule 11 sanctions. After all, CNN just got sanctions against Steven Biss yesterday for bringing a nonsense suit on behalf of Devin Nunes.

Uninformed wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 8:17 am I believe Giuliani is scheduled to file his “response” to the Dominion claim on Wednesday 4/7.

Has he even retained counsel yet?

Meanwhile, apparently Roger Stone went on Alex Jones to state that Gaetz should "go on offense." I think Stone fails to appreciate that his "be a complete raging asshole while under federal investigation" strategy only worked out for him because Donald Trump was in the White Hous...

My takeaway from what I've been able to watch of the last three days is that Chauvin's lawyer isn't very good, and Chauvin's case is even weaker than I anticipated. Between the damning direct testimony, stomach-churning videos, and his attorney's inept cross-examinations, Chauvin is on a glidepath ...

Many years ago the wife of one of my ex husband's friends gave me some Ayn Rand books to read. One of those books was written by a woman who was a friend of Ayn Rand and her husband. The mention of self-gratification jumped out at me, the book talked about how Ms Rand and the woman's husband had an...

I'm going to second what filly said, and leave it at that.

With the deepest reluctance...

I'm listening to the Chauvin trial. The female prosecutor is examining the firefighter witnesses. She is absolutely dreadful. She doesn't know where she is going. She doesn't know how to ask a question. Many of her questions are vague because of her inability to figure out her destination. And when...

I strongly suspect Chauvin is going to testify. I can't wait to hear his explanation for why he needed to keep his knee on the neck of a guy with no pulse. Was he afraid Floyd was going to jump up and attack him? If so, convict him for first-degree criminal stupidity. Seriously, I can't think of a s...

It seems to me that McGee has cause of action against Gaetz for publicly defaming him.

Pray continue, Congressman.
