I never understood the fluoride thing. Is it just left behind from the process they use to disinfect it, or are they actually trying to claim that the two seconds it spends flowing through your mouth as you drink it is an effective substitute for brushing your teeth?

And an easy mark for bad deals, to boot.

You need a law degree to become a lawyer, don't you? Dumb-guy lawyers do exist. Jack Thompson, that dude who represented Vic Mignogna...

Is that going to work? Is there seriously some kind of World Police that can just barge into a sovereign nation and drag its leaders off to World Prison?

Unfortunately if it's too obvious that the Democrats are letting Trump screw things up on purpose, voters are going to get pissed off and not turn out for them. They've been boxed into a situation where no matter what they do, it could screw them over.

I'm just not sure at this point how many of those are even left. I think every single Senator and Representative who voted for Trump's impeachment got primaried or pressured into retiring. But Trump keeps finding new and dumber ways to piss off people who might have been willing to put up with...

I wonder if there are any maverick Republicans who were excited at the prospect of making Gaetz the one and only appointment they voted down, to demonstrate to the public that there's one line they wouldn't cross. I wonder what they plan to do now. Actually vote their conscience on all of them?

Yes I believe that was the intention. Well, that and scaring people into voting for him in the first place.

Plus, it's the Republican Party. You could pick any one member at random to launch an investigation into and even in the event it doesn't turn up proof that they're pedo scum (although I bet the majority of them are), you're bound to learn something damning. If one of them manages to kick off a...

It would be nice if we could get a plugin that makes embeds work the way X embeds do, but it's 2024; nobody's writing new code for forum software anymore. It's frankly a miracle that the X embeds are still working, because every single time I've clicked through to a post, it's just thrown the...

Yeah, this feels very similar to the evangelical preachers who have so thoroughly encased themselves in a religious bubble that they're still going off what the Greatest Generation said about hippies in the dusty old books they read in seminary and believing it's not only an accurate reflection...

It's hate speech, which some countries have laws against and others (like the US, with its all-encompassing first amendment) don't. Apparently the UK is one of the "don't" countries. Also burning a cross on anyone's lawn counts as arson, and therefore a crime that's eligible to be upgraded to a...

No I mean literally share them. Relying on just one nuclear superpower to hold Russia accountable is a mistake we don't want to make a second time.

I dunno, that response feels exactly like something a malevolent AI from a sci-fi movie would say. Especially the "This is for you, human. You and only you" part. That didn't come from some random 4chan post directed from one person to another; that was purposely planted somewhere in the hopes...

How many missiles is Biden allowed to send them? Because if I were the president right now, you know what I would do? "Merry Christmas, Ukraine, I got you OUR ENTIRE NUCLEAR ARSENAL. If it's more than you need, feel free to share them with your western neighbors. I figured we won't be needing...

Fun fact: the Garbage Pail Kids were created by Art Spiegelman, the guy who wrote Maus.

When the Tiananmen Square massacre happened, Trump was... probably off partying or having questionably-consensual sex with some woman who wasn't his wife and not watching the news, but if he had been, he probably would have been like "Now that's how you show people who's boss."

I... think it might have started as advice on getting your feet unstuck from the mud, actually. I've learned to be careful of "folk etymologies" for figures of speech since I discovered that "drinking the Kool-Aid" predates Jonestown by multiple decades.

Unfortunately they're bought and paid for by Big Business just as much as the Republicans are. To an extent this is because they wouldn't be able to afford to campaign if they weren't. The few people who have a lot of money and genuinely wish to do as much good as possible with it are going to...

I for one have never been interested in being nice to Trumptards, but I highly doubt going around picking fights with them would have made Trump lose either. Unless you have a plan to wipe them out, the only worthwhile thing to do is try to avoid them as much as possible.
