he's a millennial right? millennials only know how to argue and project themselves like trolls i feel like. i still dont think he's 'real' because his posts are just so bad in that way..
Have you ever really been to breitbart.com for longer than a minute or so? I don't like to more than once every few months because it makes my brain hurt and seriously questions my faith in humanity, but it is worth seeing how fucked people's ways of thinking can get.
The comments surrounding all the Roy Moore stuff have just been...fucking unbelievable. I would even go as far as chilling.

1980 eh? Weird... to me the archetypal millennial is a person who has never known life without the internet, so starting in the mid 80s I guess? I'm gonna go with that because it allows me to more easily dismiss all of them rather than being one heheh

I was born in '85, been on the internet since I was 12. Wasn't I already accustomed to having a non-virtual life and going outside, though? Let's not pretend that a lot of us weren't glued to the TV before that, either... and that the mall wasn't the original internet.

I painted houses/apartments for a year after high school and we'd have recurring gigs at some true shitholes. totally run-down complexes where evictions were pretty common. the property managers of these places were about as scummy as you might imagine (the "job" almost certainly paid in free rent in some filthy apartment there), and one dude boasted of the stockpile of porno & homemade nudie pics he'd extracted from vacated apartments (which were often left with loads of junk inside, helping me score a satanic bible at the very least). the idea of that illicit, forbidden treasure trove of trashy sex pics has always been so alluring, although I'm sure actually seeing it would have just been depressing
another scavenged porno memory was a school field trip to a long-abandoned firehouse (dust and birdshit everywhere), to clean and revitalize it to become a homeless shelter or whatever. there was an old metal locker upstairs that had a few playboys in it, which seemed like a pretty solid score at the time. I didn't have the guts to take it home, although for some reason I decided to stuff a dead pigeon in my pocket, smuggling it back to school at the end of the day

i feel like in the pre-silicone days, they went to great lengths to find the most legendary torpedo tits, even if the chick's face was busted... but this might be wildly inaccurate

i can't process any response from the white house because it's from a guy whose name is actually fucking ty cobb
every time i see that, my brain seizes up
re: trump, the problem still boils down to the necessary votes to impeach, and the (democratic-sustained by reason of not adequately contesting statehouse elections for fucking decades) gerrymandering issue that solidifies republican seats means that it's republican primary voters that the house GOP is accountable to. those voters are fully into lord god emperor trump mode, and would support him if he dug up and skullfucked what's left of reagan.
by my count, there are 51 republican-held house seats in districts democrats could hope to immediately contest in 2018 (+/- cook partisan voting index of 5). they'd have to win almost half of them (24), and lose no other seats, to control the house. i think they could win florida's 26th, which is an outlier. that's still really hard to do for a party that really doesn't have a coherent party platform yet apart from "trump bad" and "occasionally john mccain disappoints us but we will pretend he's actually good because we're a bunch of rudderless dickweeds"
At this point, I'd settle for Sessions being implicated next and being forced to resign. Who is the "senior member of the transition team" who Flynn already claimed directed him to contact Russia? Sessions? Pence? Who is left?

ABC reports that Donald Trump himself is the person that ordered Flynn to make contact with the Russians.
update:
ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross said the source who had provided the initial information for his story later told him that it was as president-elect, not as a candidate, that Trump asked Flynn to contact the Russians.

it's a shame i'm not about that tax law life, because there are going to be infinity billion challenges to a tax law that has handwritten notes in it, when (basically inevitably) there are differences between the notations as-written and the final bill that's entered into the session law and other stuff
technical shit: session law, which is the write-up of the bill passed, is generally treated as positive law—that is, if there's a dispute about what the text of the law actually says, session law is controlling. however, when a law as-written is ambiguous or unclear (which you could expect happening with a few hundred pages of hand-written marginalia and strike-throughs), you have to look at legislative history—including the hand-written notes themselves, the text that was modified, etc. that is going to create so many mundane challenges based on purely bad writing, which in the end doesn't "simplify" the tax code,. if anything it's a fucking bonanza for intrepid and otherwise-resource-laden tax attorneys to gum up the works
its pretty easy to not invoke, isn't it? you really don't need an arcane substitute! like i guess i see where you're going and i aint trying to die on this hill but..
