Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I know it's important for Mueller to have an airtight case, but I still wish he would pick up the pace.

I want him to reach the inevitable conclusion of collusion, treason, and felonious misconduct for both 45 and Vice 45 on January 31, 2019. And I want a Democrat majority Congress to run with that, put both in prison, and drop Nancy Pelosi in the White House. I want to watch the alt-Right go ape s*** over it. And I want Paul Ryan to sit in his home in Wisconsin, watching the whole thing on tv, knowing that he was within days of being able to call himself President Ryan, and now that will never, ever happen.

Let Mueller slow-walk this as much as he wants. If we can ride the anti-45 backlash to Democratic majorities in both houses in November (not at all inconceivable), justice will be served as cold and delicious as a pint of Ben and Jerry's.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yeah, mine too.

On my darker days, I think we're undergoing a slow-mo Civil War.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think it likely that Vice 45, as a late-comer to the campaign, kept well clear of the crooked stuff with an eye toward filling in as President after a forced resignation or impeachment. That would still be a marked improvement for the country as a whole, though horrible for my specific minority and related ones.

Pence, for all of being evil, understands the political process.

He's also a firm evangelical believer in bringing on The Rapture, like, next week, is next week good for y'all? 'cause Saturday would be good for me, too.

I did say he was evil.

Yeah, there pretty much is no good here, not at all. Elections are our only hope, short of a coup.

ETA: And I'm pretty sure you guys know my expectations for the future of more than one-party elections.

I apparently use 10-key pads more than phone dials. I keep hitting 3 when I mean 9 entering this access code on the phone.
