I've started adding a dash of the Mexican vanilla to my cold-brew coffee, alongside the sugar and half-n-half I already add. Very yummy.

By now, I suspect, even the densest of Trump fans is figuring out he is not going to pardon the capitol rioters after all. Who would have guessed that Trump would throw his most loyal supporters under the bus the second they became a liability. As low as that bar is, tens of millions of Americans s...

I'm taking for granted that of course McConnell knows things about the Capitol riot which us ordinary folk haven't learned yet. It's possible he said that in reference to things SO incredibly bad, even the Trumpiest of Trumpster Republicans would have to admit he's at fault (assuming anything could ...

Woooo, I wonder what this means regarding the chances of Trump's impeachment being approved by the Senate as well as the House? Mitch McConnell, speaking on the Senate floor, says the rioters were "provoked by the president and other powerful people."

A few of us here once had a chat about how much we dislike those "consequences" dreams where you have to deal with the aftermath of some cataclysmically dumb, or even ultra-evil, decision which your real waking self would NEVER be dumb or bad enough to do. I thought about this after reading about Ri...

We're just finding out how bad the riot really was [dated Jan. 16] ...Every day since, as more videos and reporting have emerged, it’s become clear how dangerous the insurrection truly was. As my colleague Elaine Godfrey, who was in the crowd, wrote, “The violence could have been even worse. Some of...

The GOP’s existential crisis, explained by a former Republican Congress member -- “There’s no post-Trump plan. And they all know it.” What the hell happened to the Republican Party? I’ve been asking myself this question since Donald Trump began his hostile takeover in 2015. After the insurrection a...

Saw this on reddit today -- a screenshot of a tweet Rep. Boebert made on Dec. 16, saying "Save the date: January 6, 2021"

I saw something similar, about a woman on Tinder who changed her profile to sound very MAGA, accepted every request she got, and when MAGA men tried to impress her by bragging about their role in the capitol riot and/or sending her photos or videos, she'd send them to the FBI. (Of course, I've seen ...

I did think of it, but wasn't sure if I should mention it in front of the veil, and in any case I wasn't online at the time.

Veil! Vail! Vale!

Hooray! Welcome back, Linguist!

Is there a meaning to your current username, or is it just something random?

(Facepalm) This is from Wikipedia's page about Ku Klux Keller:

He was able to be recognized, in part, because of his height [6'6"], the fact that he was wearing a U.S. Olympic team jacket, and that his face was unobstructed in the video

Undeniably a good swimmer, but not very bright.

For about a month now I've been killing some time by assembling jigsaw puzzles, after learning that Dollar Tree stores regularly carry adult-level puzzles (in the 300-to-500 piece range). Currently I'm almost done with my fifth puzzle, which is also my second puzzle that is a reproduction of an Impr...

By the way, the /capitolconsequences subreddit is a good place to look for the latest news on this topic.

Boebert is a piece of shit who should be expelled for supporting insurrection, but she didn't actually tweet Pelosi's location. She tweeter that Pelosi was no longer in the room. I doubt that anyone knew where she was going, including the people escorting her. They probably just knew to get her to ...

The Capitol Police were seriously understaffed that day, compared to just about any other time ANY sort of public protest was planned there. Something definitely stinks about this. The police I am not usually one to believe in capital-c "conspiracies," but -- I really think that in time we'll find ...

If this anecdote is accurate then I have no clue how America recovers. My colleague told me that efforts to overturn the election were wrong, and that voting to certify was a constitutional duty. But my colleague feared for family members, and the danger the vote would put them in. Profoundly shake...

If the allegations are true, it should be fairly easy to check the security camera footage from the day before to verify the claims. I also hope they look into the congresswoman who tweeted "1776" at the beginning of the day and then, while the mob rampaged through the capitol, live-tweeted Pelosi's...

Not when it comes from one of the two major political parties trying to overthrow the results of a legal election to keep Their Guy in power.

The day before the insurrection, the Republican Attorneys General Association sent out robocalls urging people to go to DC and "fight" Congress over Trump's bullshit stolen-election claims.

What happens if you get the first shot of the covid vaccine, then get exposed to/infected with the virus before your second shot -- do you still get some protective benefit, compared to someone who ever got any vaccine at all?

Yes, it was a coup attempt. Here's why . Fiona Hill served as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council from 2017 to 2019. She is currently a senior fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings In...

Anyone suggesting complete overlap or complete separation of BLM protests and whatever we are calling buffalo dude insurrection isn't really taking analysis seriously. I feel like there's a decent-sized overlap between BLM riots and "Qultists smashing federal buildings" riots, but almost no overlap...
