The farce is maddening.

The sooner everyone acknowledges that the Trump administration doesn't give a fuck when SCOTUS rules against them the easier it will be to swallow this entire bitter pill.

Roberts and SCOTUS built this monster, they should suffer like the rest of us. #politics

@mgs I'm waiting for a better descriptor to use in this age than "clusterfuck." Even that seems less than sufficient these days.

You can fool some of the people all of the time…or maybe not.

@davidtoddmccarty Hell, at this point we can even do stupid better.

With all the back and forth in the Garcia case over his custody in El Salvador, it seems obvious to me that the gov’t doesn't want this resolved prior to El Salvador's president showing up tomorrow.

I may have missed it, but In all of the coverage of this I haven't seen that mentioned. #politics

@NatashaMH Damn. I'm envious as hell. Enjoy

@mikecane @stroughtonsmith @doctorlaura I get your circumstances, but I wouldn't put money towards any Intel Mac at this point.

@mikecane @stroughtonsmith @doctorlaura Forget the 11 inch. For the 13 you lean towards is it Intel or M-Series?

Lordy.

@Sumocat @dennyhenke They all knew what they were buying

@Sumocat @dennyhenke You're right about others getting the same "break." That said, if I subsidized your party to the tune of $1 million I'd be a bit pissed if you spread all the good liquor around to the other guests as well.

But these are the games oligarchs play.

Worth your time.

@Danetteb Well, they did pay in advance. 😉

@Sumocat If they could figure out how to bottle "stupidly transparent' and sell it, they would corner the market.
