Every accusation is a confession.

 

[KidTDragon]

Asking the kid about pornography was bad enough, but he really stepped over the line when he asked her if she likes movies about gladiators and if she's ever been in a Turkish prison.

What's the over/under on Trump pardoning him?

 

[wonko the sane?]

No bet. He's useless to trump now.

The Federalist is coming for your artistic nudes. By which I mean the ones in museums. "A number of Christian men I’ve known have expressed discomfort at viewing nudity in high art... these are honest men who care about honoring God and womanhood.

[The Mighty Mollusk]

They're cowardly prudes who need something to throw shame at to keep them from realizing how hollow they really are.

 

[Rhinox]

No. They aren't prudes. I guarantee every one of these assholes who has a problem with nudity and pornography is hiding some real dark jive in their browser history. It's not about being godly, it's about control. it's always control. And that's why the porn they watch is usually the really nasty jive.

Uh, did Lindsey Graham just suggest Trump be named pope?! What, and I cannot stress this enough, the hug?!

 

[CoffeeHorse]

"Say it or I'll read your cell number on live TV again."

 

[KidTDragon]

They already think he's Jesus 2.0. Suggesting he be named Pope isn't surprising. It's especially unsurprising that it was suggested by Lindsey "The Lap Dog" Graham.

 

[Ironbite4]

Meh. It's not like the Vatican gives a damn about Trump. Let 'em speak.

Ironbite-just shows how ignorant they are.

 

[wonko the sane?]

It's just an attempt to force a divide between the vatican and american catholics who voted trump. Now we're going to have to do that whole 2 pope thing again: and trump literally just wants to sell indulgences.

Someday, this will be an episode of Pope Fights.

Republicans want to tax EV drivers $200/year in new transport bill

Internal combustion engine drivers would pay only $20 a year, and only from 2030.

[CoffeeHorse]

Elon, please primary this guy.

 

[Pocket]

I can't imagine he cares. There are way bigger reasons to avoid buying his cars than a $200 a year tax; at this point this only hurts his competition.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

He probably doesn't even realize what $200 is to the commons. I mean, that's what, two avocado toasts?
