A family member of mine used to go to a bible study group. They said their takeaway was that if this all happened today we would be the Pharisees, and the point is to not be that.

If you say “I don’t know Lev Parnas” out loud, his lawyer will tweet a photo of you with him

Much like Bloody Mary when I was a child, I’m not brave enough to actually try this.

Well, it is a nice drink when you come in from the cold.


Coffee, sugar, liberal amounts of brown rum, whipped cream on top.

Kinda surprises me, given that the country’s current leader is basically a Nazi.

Always cracks me up about the “culture of victimhood” that conservatives talk about.

Fundies love to be victims and martyrs. They love to be persecuted, any way they can claim to be*, because it makes them feel like Jesus. Christian Martyrdom is a pretty central theme in Christianity.

*Except for real religious persecution, like the Jews have had to deal with. The kind that doesn’t actually harm them is what they prefer.

Yeah, but that’s in the gospel of John, so not like it’s an important section for Christians or anything.

Alan D quote:

The defendant wants to hide the truth because he’s generally guilty.

From the general to the specific in this case…

Edit:

From DKos Laura Clawson:
" Alan Dershowitz was one of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers and also a friend of Epstein. Dershowitz has said that yes, he got a massage at Epstein’s mansion, but “I kept my underwear on during the massage.” He has been a prominent Trump defender on television.

Ken Starr is obviously most famous from spending the 1990s turning an investigation into a real estate transaction into impeaching Bill Clinton for a sexual relationship. As CNN’s Elie Honig tweeted, “Now House Managers can point across the well and say: ‘There’s the same guy who interviewed @MonicaLewinsky’s ex-boyfriends, WH window washers and Kathleen Willey’s dentist. Now he doesn’t want us to hear from Bolton and Mulvaney.’”

During that time, Trump had some strong feelings about Starr, telling Matt Lauer that “I think Ken Starr’s a lunatic. I really think that Ken Starr is a disaster.” But Starr has been … wait for it … a prominent Trump defender on television.

True story: Starr was also one of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers. Oh, and he lost his job as president of Baylor University after accusations that he mishandled sexual assault allegations against football players."

This is from Jan 2016 so, not quite trumpian* but expressing the same my dick is bigger than yours US mentality around the world…

“The US Embassy in Reykjavík is currently preparing its relocation from its current location in downtown Reykjavík to a new site by Engjateigur street just east of downtown. But before the move can be completed two crucial things must be taken care of. A tall security fence must be built to ensure security and a giant flagpole erected to ensure the Stars and Stripes.”

*I doubt he even knew what an embassy was at that point in time.
