You are not remotely the first person to make that comparison. It’s very apt.
WTH? are those just people whose plastic surgery has gone wrong or what?
At some point, it’s less about looking better and more about conspicuous consumption.
That one in the upper left looks like she got smacked in the face with a shovel.
A few months ago, I decided want to start a TV network that played nothing but the Twilight Zone episode He’s Alive 24 hours a day.
But maybe I can add another episode into the rotation.
Oh how I’d love to see, if it ever comes to it, that short-fused (Micheal, you liar!) idiot Todd Blanche getting the third degree.
That one poor lady looks like what happens when you see the ring
(Do not fail to follow the rabbit-hole links in that article about nonhuman fashion trends of chimpanzees wearing decorative grass and sticks in their ears and anuses and orcas wearing dead salmon on their heads.)
Hey, if you know a better way to maximise his profits off his idiot base, Trump would love to hear it!
No, seriously, he’d love to hear it. Write it down and send it to him. These sheep aren’t going to fleece themselves!
[CaveJohnson] Now there’s an idea! Self-fleecing sheep. Get on it![/CaveJohnson]
The story is even better, in that the “safe-cracker guy” wasn’t even that. He was just a regular maintenance guy who’d worked with some safes, and was told to get the safe open, damnit! He confessed to Richard that he had no idea how to drill a safe, and was just going to start drilling at random to get the boss off his back, but decided to try the default combination on a lark first.
Brutal rebuke of the prosecution. Kicked Mr. Coyne out for coming to the courtroom to contribute without filling a motion to appear and then violating the judge’s instructions to remain silent.
Brutal questioning of the prosecutor for not having the information to assess the court’s concerns - the very reason they were in court that day.
Brutal rebuke of the prosecution for agreeing to a severely inadequate plea sentence, and then finding out their was a ton more evidence of
Child porn and bestiality
That the FBI had in possession but not had time to discover before the plea deal.
Brutal point-by-point disassembly of the prosecution’s claims for why the plea was justified and why they can’t reassess and why they can’t delay for two weeks to gather the information required to satisfy the court that the District Attorney’s office is not still acting illegally and counter to other court findings and directions.
Brutal rebuke of Trump’s entire DOJ and their illegal behavior.
Absolute embarrassment of the prosecutor’s office. Absolutely no shit tolerated.
This is such a needed read.
IANAL, but I think plea deals are not valid until accepted by the presiding judge, and he hasn’t accepted it.
Salon reports on how Gen-Z Republican men are unfuckable losers who hate women and are obsessed with masturbation.
Is this really a Schadenfreude situation? I just find it a bit terrifying.
They’ve had a reputation for being misogynists unable to maintain a relationship or get sex from a woman without paying them (or using force) for decades now. I recall an old news story about how for a Republican national convention literal busloads of prostitutes were being brought is by their pimps to service the convention goers, and how that’s standard practice whenever the Republicans have a convention. But not for the Democrats, because they apparently have no particular problem convincing women to sleep with them.
Wow - That was one pissed off judge.
I like where he is going to sequester the three so it is harder for them to coordinate their stories. One hopes they are clever enough to try to line things up before they start, but they won’t know exactly what the judge is going to ask.
Yes - that is a person who is sick of shenanigans and has already gotten his broom.
As competent and ethical as these clowns sound, they will probably try to coordinate beforehand and still fall apart under the pressure of answering the judge directly and with the added temptation of tossing the others under the bus to save themselves
I took my first training trip for the company I worked for in the late 1970s, and just before I left HR gave me a copy of an article on how to say safe on the road. Most of it was horror stories about “Rolex rollers” who would target men in bars who wore expensive watches — an indication of how long ago it was — but it mentioned in passing that during Democratic conventions the local hookers would go on vacation, while during Republican (and evangelical) conventions they’d descend from all points of the compass. The impression was that Democrats convened to get things done, while the others were more interested in raising hell.
