It really is frustrating and an inherent example of how Trump, just walking in the door, has already beat the system(both judicial and media) that we all are apparently expected to stroke our chins and say, "Mmmhmmm, yes yes. This is a very fascinating legal conundrum that requires weighty thought and adjudication from the highest court in the land. Who knows, could go either way. Perhaps the Justices in their austere wisdom will pave an understated path through a middle ground that can really unify the country." He wants to attempt coups and get a fucking Get Out of Jail free card because he can't even do Dictatoring without declaring figurative bankruptcy!!!!!!

This is where it was always going. It's thier way of making Trump de facto immune without having to make the asinine ruling.

Tough row to hoe on this argument since everyone assumed Nixon could/would be prosecuted. That's why Ford pardoned him and Nixon accepted it. Why do that if he was already immune?

I am pretty sure if we accepted Trump's conception of absolute immunity that he would actually be more powerful than King George was..... As if their argument wasn't ridiculous enough, with their whole escape hatch being that he could be impeached, has anyone pointed out that no Senate would vote to impeach a man if he could simply send troops onto the floor of the Senate to execute them all?

Is conspiracy to defame already a law or are these fuckers just creating new crimes as they go along? I do enjoy that even after nearly a decade "Vote Your Conscience" Cruz is still finding a way to be emasculated by Trump. "Who helped kill JFK, bitch?!?!" "My daddy, sir." Oh, sorry, I meant.... ....you know what....either one is good.

"Conservatives angered over Donald Trump's trial say "Wait, that's how the legal system actually works?!" after decades of complaining criminals have it way too easy.".

If this event had happened a few years later or the show debued a few seasons earlier this would have definitely been an episode of South Park where the boys found a new toy, fought over it, Cartman inevitably did something horrible to "win" the competition of who gets it, and then starts playing it like a flute or something right as everyone finds out what it really is.....

I feel like the news that Trump was dozing off at his trial was the perfect moment for Dems to stick him with the moniker of "Donald Slump". It works for so many things. Whether he is dozing off in court, his polls start sagging, he has little Don energy at his rallies, or when he inevitably bombs at the debates.....

Jesus fucking Christ can you buy a fucking punctuation, Pat? Did he ever get to the point? I am genuinely trying to figure out what his point was. He started out by doing the academy thing as an aside.....but then never seemed to get to what he was actually trying to say about Kimmel....

I just got done watching it for the first time since I was a kid and man, around season 5 MASH goes from being Patch Adams to Saving Private Ryan

Of course It's in a jar on his shelf.

It's impressive that he can have no chins and yet multiple chins at the same time.

I wouldn't say Lower Decks was the best show, but it was certainly the most consistent. You weren't going to get the next Inner Light or Pale Moonlight with Lower Decks, but you could tune in every week and know you were going to get a good, entertaining episode. Didn't have to worry about canon shattering plot devices or overambitious season long arcs that only live up to about to 50-75% of their potential. Kind of ironic for what it was, but it was the workhorse of New Trek. I have been more patient than most with New Trek. I always tried to find the positive. But between this, their baffling refusal to greenlight Legacy, and a Star Trek movie that may literally be the least interested I have ever been in a property that bears the Star Trek name.... it's wearing thin on me. Season 3 of Picard proved that New Trek doesn't need to be graded on a curve, or made excuses for. It can be as good as any Trek ever made. But, while it doesn't guarentee a good show, step 1 of making a good Trek show is probably for the creators to really understand why Star Trek fans are Star Trek fans and not Star Wars or other generic Sci-fi show fans.

It's Biff's party, now....

Cancer has denied any involvement, but they are releasing a book this Fall called, "If I Did It".

That seems like a pretty significant charge considering that Matt Gaetz didn't fire McCarthy the House GOP fired McCarthy.

I am so checked out on current wrestling. Funny story, I saw this thread earlier today and realized WM was today and kind of shrugged it off. Then I saw Wrestling with Wregret put up a review of WM30 and I clicked on it and it was making me mildly interested in WM40 and I was thinking "hmmm, I wonder if there is some kind of week trial I could exploit to get WM for free". Then he mentioned that WM30 was right when the Network debuted and how different it is now because the Network doesn't exist anymore because it's a part of Peacock. That's when I realized I already have access to WM because I have a Peacock subscription. That's how checked out of current wrestling I am.....not only do I not watch the shows I flat out forgot I have access to their PPV every month

The best thing about that is, if I remember right, they had to edit the bill a couple times because they realized the wording would stop actual, legit polluting done by businesses in the state. "Hey now, we are just trying to press on the fear centers of the brains of tinfoil hat wearing weirdos....we don't want to risk actually stopping hog farmers from spraying aerated pig shit into the air!!!" -Some Republican, probably

Awesome, I definitely plan to pick up a copy next time I take a trip to the mall while listening to music on my Walkman and stop by the local Blockbuster.

I mean, to me it seems like at this point it's like arming kids with uzis in a game of tag and then being a stickler for the no tag back rule. Trump tries to overthrow the government. The government in various outlets has charged him with nearly 100 felonies in a lead up to the election. I think at a certain time and place there is merit to the no charging a candidate rule, but haven't we long since burned that bridge/whistled past that graveyard/pick your own saying?

It's going to be poetic justice if his efforts manages to land one or more of these trials smack dab in the middle of the election. Honestly, since the average memory span of major Trump scandals seems to be about 2 or 3 weeks for the public and media Trump probably would be better off just getting convicted now and have the appeals process going during the election rather than have it front of mind during the election. If someone had timed the Pussy tape a liiiiiitle better we might not have had this decade of hell to begin with.....

Happy Seizure Day everyone! I hope New York buys a Monorail with whatever they wring out of him

Apparently he is resigning in a way that specifically will not allow a special election. Making votes harder on them for the next 9 months. This is an explicit "fuck you" to House Republicans.
