  • I see your angle, but it’s not good. This is just the heritage foundation and power hungry around him telling him he needs to go through the process to lay a “defensible” legal path. He says they need to do it, instead of him unilaterally just doing it by decree. So they do it, and if/when challenged up to the Supreme Court, they just say all the boxes were checked, technically legal, moving on.

    He’ll do that dance, initially at least, for them to support the “is he being presidential today?!!!” BS narrative that they couldn’t stop drooling over last time. He’ll eventually collapse and regress, but this time when mask comes off all the way (or more like skin peels off of his face, as the mask has been off) he has absolutely nothing left to lose. Things are going to get dark.


  • trump and his sycophantic bootlickers denied this asshole immorality as a supreme court justice, back when that actually meant something. The thought was that he’d have a fucking sharpened sword and be ready to enforce justice on behalf of this nation. He had a fucking traitor insurrectionist, on video… and nothing.

    He was never the best choice their could have been, but it was promising for a brief moment. And then Garland just fell on his gray, fucking face.








  • Airtable for me as well. Set myself up a perfect tasks and notes system. Both played so well together, created quick in the moment through a form that flowed to tables. Tables used an Eisenhower matrix to prioritize day to day. Was perfect, I felt so far ahead of my work, felt accomplished each day and then my company was acquired. They won’t let us use aurtable and now I’m just lost and have said fuck it.

    New system is to say I’ll do it in the moment, and then see what I can remember each day through nags or context clues left around in open tabs and emails and hope I don’t drop the ball too hard. Fuck big stupid corporate machines that eat good people and shit out temporary shareholder value!!!






  • But he wasn’t the first president along their path of decline, right? He’s the dude that was left with the pending shortage of burrito fixings and finally had to get serious about shit.

    Also maybe Commacho is the archetype for what a democratic nominee will have to devolve into to finally be “heard” by the broken weirdo populous that use politics as a sport and life identity.

    Go read all the headlines about “dems don’t know how to communicate with large parts of America” - that statement doesn’t mean they said “you all” when they should have said “y’all”… It means that J.D. Pritzker has to start wearing a hot dog costume, legally change his name to “$HITcago DOG” go around the country for the next four years holding rallies where he farts the national anthem, gives everyone who attends a FULL SIZE Snickers bar and humps a blow up doll with marge taylor greene’s face taped to it. Along the way, he’ll gently sprinkle in messaging, but all of this will also involve just so many compromised principles in a continuing Overton window shift, where the platform devolves to “don’t be a dick sometimes, asshole”. There’s your bumper sticker.
