Brian Driscoll, the acting director of the FBI, sporting curly hair, a kinda rakish jazz dirtbag moustache and beard combo, a faintly amused look in his eyes and a wry "whaddaya gonna do" smirk

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

Ugh. We are trying, and have tried for a decade. Lots of willful non-listening in this state.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

It's so important, in this new era, to go insane at your own pace. Remember to drink plenty of fluids and breatheβ€”completely losing your mind and becoming a gibbering shell of your former self is a marathon, not a sprint

If anything, RFK, Jr. permanently ended impostor syndrome. After today, no one should ever feel unqualified for anything, ever.

The thing is it's actually relevant that so many on the right are weird sex perverts and closet homosexuals because their inability to square the circle of their unresolved atavistic sexual desires with their desired self-image and the rage that results is part of what drives them to fascism.

Betsy Ross: Ok

Washington: I'm envisioning something elegant, a design that will still look good even if it's flying beside a Confederate monstrosity in the back of a vomit-colored, rusted-out pickup

Betsy: What

Washington: what

Earthquake in Maine. Maybe we will detach from America and float up to Canada on the Gulf Stream, or maybe Greenland where we can join the Danish army.
