DC Tom

It's bull####. Between them, I count about 20 in the last six weeks alone. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-last-10-weeks-of-2016-campaign-stops-in-one-handy-gif/ The Boston Globe has a better tally, but I'm not paying them to see it.

You knew the Italians had problems with air conditioning their powder magazines in 1910? Bullfeathers.

You can't completely ignore the possibility that the Democrats want to lose in 2020...but "win the popular vote," to encourage states to adopt the National Popular Vote agreement so that they completely disenfranchise red states in 2024 and onwards. Were I a DNC strategist, that's exactly what I'd be advocating - lose the race with a popular majority, and double-down on the "undermining democracy" and "fascist government" rhetoric to permanently eliminate any possibility of Republicans ever taking the presidency again.

Not before they pass a law that hotel guests have to shower together to save money. A "gender-neutral" communal shower law, of course.

Are CA state workers still allowed to go on state-sponsored trips to...say...Abu Dhabi?

It wasn't a very good joke. It was, in fact, a very bad joke. But it let me demonstrate my command of arcane, useless knowledge. So it wasn't totally pointless.

Or getting enough states to commit to allocating their electoral votes according to the results in other states.

Risk? I just happen to know my Russian oblastii.

Irkutsk

Last time I said that to someone, I was told it was racist since it enabled Nazis.

Yes, actually. It's surprising how many ships of that era blew themselves up (Vanguard, Bulwark, Leonardo da Vinci, Brin, Liberte). The last battleship sunk to a spontaneous detonation was IJN Mutsu, in '43. The last battleship to have an uncontrolled powder detonation was USS Iowa in 89. The Germans were the only country that didn't have a battleship spontaneously combust, because they put stabilizer in their cordite. The Italians, on the other hand...their ships would explode if they got too warm.

These documents are the evidence that finally convicts Trump of obstruction!

Means nothing. Stennis is transiting from Norfolk to Bremerton, Lincoln is transiting from Bremerton to Norfolk. They were going to pass by each other at some point. And they're deployed at opposite ends of the Med. Stennis is currently operating with the De Gaulle in the eastern Med; Lincoln just passed through Gibraltar this weekend.

Frank Drebin, my ass. That's Enrico Palazzo.

They could very likely be classified because of the means of collection, not the content. But that they exist at all is troubling.

Have you tried self-identifying as a German mute?

He thinks his back is beating the whip.

Wow. That's even worse than mine.

You'd think it's embarrassing...but the Easter Bunny's pretty tough to beat. He doesn't fight fair; all he does is rabbit punch...

Whatever they made Wakanda out of. And paper, and the dreams of immigrant children.

And Chekhov's little girl with the burned face.

Belied by the very fact that she had a conference call with House Democrats alone.

Hey, let's not forget Obama and Clinton mocking Trump for refusing to say if he'd accept the results of the election if he lost, to Clinton refusing to accept the results of the election she lost...

They probably are, if Martin's writing it.

Considering at least a third of them are "tried but failed," I can probably come up with a lot more. Hell, considering that one of them was "Trump protesting his innocence," there's arguably hundreds more.
