I was surprised to have Republicans turn against Ukraine and I don't have my head all the way around it. I guess that it is mainly fealty to Trump and Trump's fascination with Putin, but I am amazed that it all got together as strong as it did.
Democrats pushed for it. Republicans have few unified goals, but chief among them is opposing Democrats.

If it were just that it wouldn't explain his fascination with Xi and Erdogan and Kim.
That stems from his desire to be a dictator like them. He seems to go the extra mile for Putin, and as we all know, Trump never does anything for anyone unless he's going to get something in return, like, say, keeping a compromising secret of his under wraps.

The jury is literally still out on that one.

I understand why people fell for Russiagate. We all have our first time realizing a news source we thought we liked is actually completely full of beans. It's not a fun day.

I don't understand how anyone is still Russiagating. For God's sake let it go.

I seriously am not sure yet whether I am more disappointed by a celebrity endorsing Trump or by someone saying that someone else is their own anus.

Some time I'm going to do a word study here. I feel pretty confident that when people started calling someone an a$$, they were talking about a donkey. Someone was being stubborn and uncooperative. I do not know how the same word came to mean the posterior in general or how people started specifying with the word "hole" the they were talking about an anus instead of a donkey.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

It probably transitioned at about the same time that the majority of people stopped being directly involved in farm work, and thus: lost access to actual asses, and had to substitute their own.

Ass (donkey or fool) and arse (buttocks) were originally two separate words and still are in British English, but changes in language caused them to be spelled and pronounced the same in American and Canadian English.
I guess I assumed they had both been arse further back.

I wonder if it just morphed because people didn't know that it referred to a donkey.

I honestly thought they would be doing this for a few more days.

Y'all know this is going to make the cultists riot, right? Plus we still don't know when sentencing will be, or what that punishment will look like.
