  1. The right to a speedy trial isn't just for the defendant, it's for the people. Justice delayed is justice denied.

  2. Garland dragged his feet because he was worried about looking too political, proving once abd for all that sometimes trying to appear not to be political is the most consequential political decision of all.

  3. @Adam Jacobs Her House passed a $15/hour minimum wage in 2019 and 2021, and her first tenure as Speaker was the last time the minimum wage increased.

  4. McCain wasn't the only one, but he was the deciding vote. He often voted for repeal, but when push came to shove, he realized it was wrong to take away health insurance from 24MM people.

  5.  @nonyabizness.original  Words have meaning. It wasn't a raid, it was a search. Same number of syllables.

  6.  @adk46er5203  You mean the withdrawal negotiation that started with Trump where he gave the moon to the Taliban? And which President was it who said that the United States shouldn't be bound by Article Five of NATO? Which President tried to reinstate Russia into the G-7 and make it the G-8 again?

  7. Especially when that person wants to be a dictator and said so.

  8. Anyone with a small child knows that the child knows that a threat to do something means absolutely nothing if it's obvious that the person making the threat will never do it.

  9.  @shawnsimmons4718  You mean when the last Bush budget had a $1.4T deficit and Obama's last budget had a deficit of $665B? Yeah, that deficit went up so much that it was cut in half.

  10. I wish I had the cash to short that nonsense company.

  11.  @firebolt352  Nice try, but the exceptions to birthright citizenship are as follows: 1) those governed by Native tribes (due to tribal soverignty), 2) children of diplomats, 3) children of a foreign military. Sorry, no discussion of immigration status, which would be interesting considering that the amendment was ratified in 1868, when there was no such thing as illegal immigrants.

  12. Even if you haven't read the whole thing, it's one of these stories that is so foundational that you should at last have the gist of it. Even Mama's Family did an episode based on Thelma reading it for night school.

  13.  @naturelovingguypeoplenotso3039  Well, he has some competition for most corrupt cult leader. If he asks for a mass suicide after he is out of office, then he wins that title.

  14. It might be Sarah doing a video of him getting dragged kicking and screaming out of the White House.

  15. Indeed. While there are some anti-Semites who hide behind those who are legitimately critical of the Likud government, there are legitimate criticisms to be made and they should be made.

  16.  @maureenlaneski2802  They have a right, and I'm not saying they don't, but when you make frivolous motions just for the purposes of delay in hopes that you can use your personal political power to end the trials and have no accountability, you are making a mockery of the system.

  17.  @jaslinc3371  A lot of it seems to stem from the fact that today's right wing is much more anti-left than anything. Having no positive vision, they went along with this con artist, and now, rather than admit that they were played, they are following him into the abyss.

  18.  @timothydavis9181  Was it Jimmy Savile?
    29
  19.  @Lazzil  And he briefly lived on a kibbutz in Israel.

  20.  @LeeCzere  A term used by stupid people who accuse everyone else of mindlessly repeating talking points... while mindlessly repeating talking points.
    27
  21. I heard that in Lumbergh's voice.
    27
  22.  @spiraljumper74  Well, there are degrees. If someone wants to support democracy but has other bad views, when we are dealing with fascists who want to destroy democracy, they are on our side on the thing that counts. I eagerly await the day when the awful of people like Mittens and Liz Cheney represent the worst of the GOP.

  23.  @mattnaslund8615  They have buttons and stickers with the Bernie silhouette that says "Hindsight 2020."

  25. Stay safe. Love from Pennsylvania in the USA.

  26.  @bwenluck9812  And that was to complain about the ACA. These people really don't understand what they say.

  27. "Remember the Nineties?" The dream of the Nineties is alive in Portland.

  28. "I do want always corruption" is the first time he told the truth sense "I could shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue and not lose any votes."

  29. @Zach Hogan They run for office saying "government doesn't work" and then spend their terms in office trying to prove the point. Well, they're half right: Republican government doesn't work.

  30. @Josh White Investigation, laying down the gauntlet on policy by getting Republicans on the record against things that the majority of the American people want, no biggie.
    23
  31.  @BS_HORSEPOO-L  No, we knew he tested positive three days earlier. Note that there was a press conference with Pence the day before the first debate where he suddenly got a second podium and stood six feet away instead of up his butt.

  32.  @HaliPuppeh  It also doesn't include the story of the rich young ruler, or that part in Ezekiel 15 where God tells the weirdest prophet that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of how they treated the orphans and widows, or how farmers had to keep the corners of the fields unplowed so the poor could glean from the crops. Their Bible has so many holes that it looks like someone hollowed it out to hide their guns.

  33. The last time I was this early, Seth was making fun of the big orange dummy at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

  34. ​ @ArtGirl82  Well, those memoirs involved telling lies about his family and the people he grew up with, so no surprise.
    18
  35. ​ @keithwoodcrest  I don't care. I care about equal treatment under the law.
    17
  36.  @thomasmaughan4798  So, you prefer 48% getting to boss the other 52% around? Permanent minority rule is called apartheid.

  37. So true. I worked as hard as I could to help him get elected, but looking now, maybe it was for the best that Bernie could write the bills because I think some people would have sadly refused to go along just to spite him and then say, "See? This doesn't work."
    17
  38. Well, after he took office. The other honest thing he said was "I could shoot somebody right in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and I wouldn't lose any votes."

  39. 3:21 I get the joke, but if you sweat too much, you can deplete your salt. Do it too much and only drink water, and it can be fatal. It happened to me once after a six mile run when I skipped lunch on a hot day, and I literally vomited water afterwards, and my limbs were seizing. It's called hyponatremia.

  40.  @MH-go9wn  So little self awareness in that quote.
    15
  41. ​ @erazer5685  By comparison

  42.  @dannychambers8076  Doesn't absolve the Republicans for their dishonest tactic.
    14
  43.  @rebeccalynch577  Which party is defending Confederate statues? Which party is fighting voting rights? Which party swooped in to aim for the segregation crowd after the Civil Rights Act? Which party nominated opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act five times?
    13
  44. ​ @nonyabizness.original  He did.

  45. *Offer only applies to Republicans. Anyone else can expect to get raked over the coals for no reason.

  46.  @Cindy.m.R  It is legal for second cousins to marry in all 50 states. Some states prohibit marrying your first cousin, but others do not.

  47.  @MrLarry  I think you're right. If memory serves me right, on the promos, she says "I'm a writer for Late Night."

  48.  @duke605  We didn't vote him in. The Electoral College did.

  49.  @HerrDerpington  As a straight, white man, I would rather not have to deal with any of those things, so I would hardly say it's a "privilege to claim" them. There are definitely people who use a shield to try to ignore the real criticism, but those things are real.

  50.  @vincentjoubert5514  My response after the election was, "People wanted change in the worst possible way, and that's what we're going to get."
