@rjblaskiewicz @GottaLaff If I live to be 100 I’ll never understand how seemingly intelligent people get sucked in to Trump’s orbit of the planet Clusterfuckerbia.
@guifitz If I had a nickel for every meeting I’ve been to that they could’ve just sent me damn email…

@fraser If it was caused by interstellar plasma wouldn’t all similarly sized brown dwarfs have similar emissions?
@PattyHanson @tristansnell Going beyond that, he could have 34 Senators killed and there’d never be a majority to convict him.

The Trump Doctrine:
Unless there are 67 votes in the Senate to convict, the president can commit as many crimes as he wants, with ZERO consequences EVER.
2024 may be the last election in American history.

So Donald Trump's legal position is that he can send Seal Team 6 to slaughter his political opponents -- and EVEN AFTER LEAVING OFFICE -- the only possible legal consequence for him is to be impeached and convicted by Congress.

Saw the girl from a few weeks ago (her boss was making her clock out when it's slow, which is illegal!) and found out that she's now working at another place, getting paid for all her hours properly by them and her case is still working its way through the system.
She's pretty confident that she's going to get her money by summer.
Huzzah for workers!

@sueellenfast @lzg Exactly! I wonder how long a colony of billionaires a la Ayn Rand would last before they all died of cholera or something.
