My bad. I haven't been keeping close tabs on the thread today

To borrow a reaction I saw elsewhere:

"Wow, he's really desperate for a distraction, isn't he? When in trouble, bring out the "Hillary is evil" greatest hits package!"

I like the phrase on the bottom "no persecution," implying that he was supposed to therefore making him look suspect to the viewers. That's just one thing, if I can pick only one thing out of this jumble of nonsense.

Also, semi-related, more in the story of why Roy Moore is a horrible person, according to this tweet on a church service in Jackson.

Roy Moore mourns the end of school prayer and then adds "they started creating new rights in 1965"

A connection between Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton could be huge.

In a few months, it is gonna be a year since Trump has been in office; with so much stuff he screwed and made terrible. Three more years to go, hopefully, he will get impeached before that. Plus, I hope that in 2018, the Democrats take over Congress; at least then things will be somewhat good. I am making sure I vote next year, quite definitely!

Several pastors dispute new letter claiming more than 50 faith leaders still support Roy Moore

One more thing, earlier I posted a link to 53 pastors that signed a letter of support for Roy Moore. Now, it seems that letter might be fake.

Several have raised questions about the origins of the letter, including Pastor Thad Endicott of Heritage Baptist Church, who asked Al.com that his name be removed from the new list. Endicott pointed to a different letter on Roy Moore’s campaign website published during the Alabama primary—when he says he did support the candidate—that appears to bear similarities to the one Kayla Moore published.

I don't know how the Ukraine is the missing link between Luigi and Waluigi, but this is hilarious

So does Donnie have a template for shootings that he just copies and pastes?

If so, he forgot to change the name of the location.

The Cards Against Humanity thing actually bothers me. I like the game, have the cards, appreciate their hilarious FAQ. However, their gimmick of "we bought border land to stop Trump" is astoundingly useless. Under Eminent Domain, the Federal Government could theoretically have every inch of border land. The problem is them paying out the worth of that land.

And rather than promote campaigns of politicians who will actually help avoid wasting money on a boarder wall, CAH decided to use it to promote their business.

Yay capitalism!(?)

They've retained a law firm that specializes in eminent domain cases for the specific purpose of tying up any attempts to take that land as long as legally possible.

I understand that they're literally just trying to use as much legal tape to annoy Trump. My point is that in an honest legal perspective, regardless of how long it takes, Trump would be in the legal right. They're not accomplishing anything worthwhile from it, aside from getting some of us to laugh a little.

If they're going to ask for money for their cards, just focus on that. Don't say "hey buy our themed cards while we make the Fed lawyers spend more time working on this issue". Don't take a political side just for the profit while specifically mentioning a real issue that Trump wants to waste money on. Donate to campaigns of those that will get seats from the GOP and prevent this mess from continuing.

If anyone feels like putting a little thorn in Trump's foot, this is a Christmas present to consider:

Aw, it's already sold out. What a shame, but brilliant idea nonetheless.

Not linking the tweet, but Trump tweeted about today's shooting in California....by copy and pasting the tweet he made about the shooting in Texas. And forgot to change the name of the town and state.

This is clearly biting metacommentary on the cookie-cutter "thoughts and prayers" responses of the conservative right. Right?

I mean, none of them could give two shits about us peasants dying, but you can at least try to appear so, Donnie.
