Accepting arguendo that "the odds are against" basically everybody in the West who isn't a White male straight nominal Christian, at what point can we consider it evened up? What's the metric?

Much of the brouhaha centers around what forms of ID are acceptable for voting. Funny part is, way back in the Clinton administration, they proposed a national ID card. The Reichpubliklans stroked. . . the. . . fuck. . . out. Eventually, the administration implemented RealID, and made it...

46th President of the United States of America. . .

Stan Rogers's song "Night Guard?"

Hard to believe the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize went to the UN's World Food Programme, and not to Jesus Superman Trump. Clearly a Communist anti-Christian Democratic Kenyan Muslim BLM Antifa Socialist Deep State Hillary Ping-Pong Pizza Martian Child Sex Slave plot! I mean, when did Jesus ever talk...

All quotes are from the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution. "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President" Got that? Nobody hops on his horsie and rides to Washington. The electors (equal to the total number of...

Has anybody come out to condemn Melania for cursing Christmas? Sean? Tucker? Laura? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Dear Donald, Try drinking some Clorox and shoving a UV lamp up your ass. Hope you feel better soon.

Here's a pretty good round-up of the history of politics in the Court. I don't know if this is behind a paywall. If it is, somebody let me know and I'll post the full article. Assuming anybody here reads, that is...

OK, y'all, I'm genuinely, deeply sorry about the CFL's season, and absolutely disgusted at the government's refusal to spring 'em 30 mil, which woulda been a fart in a hurricane except somebody decided to make it a minor culture war. That said, I invite all Canadian Football fans to enjoy the...

Soup is anti-American antifa Communism! Stick to hamberders.

65 days to go, 187,194 Covid deaths. Average needed to make 250,000 by Election Day: 966 per day.

Yeah, what about it? April 2009-April 2010 (one year, for those who struggle with calendars): 12,469 deaths from H1N1, the Obama Flu. March-August 2020 (six months, for those who struggle): 184,778 deaths from Covid-19, the Trump Flu. With four days left to go.

I figure it'll take about three posts for this to go horribly wrong, but I'm serious. Surely the most Trump-hatey amongst us can find something he's done that's good. I claim to be more deeply, broadly, and thoughtfully Trump-hatey than anybody else on this board, so I'll go first. . . He...

Joe Biden quoted Soren Kierkegaard and Seamus Heany in his acceptance speech. Taking bets on whom the crazy fat kid will quote.

That's why I'm proud to announce the new Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General Charles Q. "CQ" Brown. . . . . . and the new Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Joanne Bass. . . Send 'em high into the blue, General, Chief Master Sergeant!
