Whatever. His pillows weren't worth s**t anyway.

To tell a lie, and to tell it so convincingly that others believe you, is one thing. But, when your lies lead people to ransack federal property and place innocent people in jeopardy, regardless of your exact words or intentions, you stop being just a liar, and start being a clear and present danger to everyone around you. And it is NOT the first time Trump's words have led others to commit desperate acts with the assumption that they had his implied approval either. Just ask the individuals who attempted to abduct Gretchen Whitmer. Trump's legal team will argue that he never explicitly told the crowd at the "Stop the Steal" rally to commit acts of terror at the U.S. Capitol, but if "prior bad acts" mean anything at impeachment trials, then Trump's record of volatile and dangerous statements, and the results they produced among his most extremist supporters, must be brought before the Senate as well. Twitter and other social media platforms have banned Trump, not because he's an inveterate liar and they dislike him, but because his lies have literally gotten people killed.

At this point, the Trump administration is just doing random s**t, like an Arby's employee who's actually finished for the day, but who still has ten minutes before he can clock out.

It would've been so easy to hit that fifty-percent mark, too. All he had to do, especially when this pandemic started, was show compassion for someone other than himself. But, he couldn't, and he wouldn't. That's what voting for a raging, incurable narcissist gets you. If nothing else, the last four years -- hell, pretty much Trump's life -- was the pinnacle of male, white mediocrity.

Poor Jacob's finding out the hard way that meth and violent uprisings against one's government do not mix.

I wonder whether they'll keep the digs at the end toward Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson. ;)

Brandon Fellows: "This one is going to get me incriminated." And you posted it anyway. As deadly as this attack was to our democracy, at the same time, a lot of the footage that people took of others just roaming around the halls looks like the stupidest, most ill-organized parent-teacher night ever.

Here's one Florida resident's reaction to the news: I still think there's something fishy about that.

I remember when the RNC released its' diagnostics report after Obama's victory, pinning the GOP's failure on its' inability to reach out to "communities of color." They didn't heed that report, and now, it looks as if that decision's coming back to bite them.

So, what happens if you're gay already and you take the vaccine? Do you become Peter Allen?

I shouldn't revel in others' misfortunes, but it'd be such delicious irony to see Leticia James and Fani Willis (and other WOC) take down Trump's phony ass. I figured we'd get around to blaming movies, TV and video games for the attack before too long.

Unfortunately, in this ever-changing world in which we're living, as soon as we exalt individuals like Daniel Hodges to hero status, we find ways to tear them down. I'm sure it won't be too long before we find out something really salacious about him -- like, he likes to beat the hell out of women while high on crank at illegal cock-fighting matches, or something.

Frankly, I learned awhile back it was going to be $1400 rather than 2K, so I don't understand why people are acting confused and upset now. Maybe they heard only what they wanted to hear?

The family Trump's leaving D.C. like the end of "Harlem Nights," with a trunk full of money and a building in flames. I remember watching that moment and thinking, "Is that REALLY what you want your audience to be cheering?".

Nope, not just you, lol. For that matter, I can't see Matthew Ashford's Jack sleeping with Susan Flannery's OR Jaime Lyn Bauer's Laura under ANY circumstances.

Well, I hope the GOP is happy: thanks to Donald Trump, they have officially become the party of fascism and white supremacy. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the only way "establishment" Republicans will ever survive politically is to dissociate entirely from the party and either become Independents or form a new, third party.

It's like what Anthony Anderson's character said once, on "Black-ish": "How am I supposed to love a country that don't love me back!?".
