If Ted Cruz and Lena Dunham became a couple, would they have any friends? Would that be a shame?

Mike DeWine's got a bigger Bible dick than any else and he wants everyone to know it.

It's like the evangelical equivalent of a Humvee.

Or some kind of Facebook challenge. If/when Trump resigns, Pence is going to have at least ten bibles when he's sworn in—a standard has been set, Muslim atheists.

So, I assume that conservatives will be consistent and not believe that Ernst was raped because she didn't come forward immediately? I don't know first-hand the trauma of rape and its long-lasting effects on one's personality and outlook, but I just wince at this revelation and then match it up against her silence during the Kavanaugh hearings* and that she wanted to be Trump's running mate. The degree of compartmentalization and self-alienation—to divorce her experience from her ambition and politics—to get thru her life is terrible to consider.

Edit: * Not to suggest that she was obliged to come forward with her story, but I can't recall any stories where she voiced sympathy with Ford or anything like that.

This is some fine authoritarian regime shit here. Not sure how anyone of a libertarian bent could consider supporting Republicans. Unless guns are the depth and breadth of a libertarian's principles.

Which they generally are. They never seem to go to bat for other issues, such as, you know, reproductive rights.

Or the rights of non-whites. Yeah, 2A libertarians sure are loud when cops kill a black person with a carry permit. Civil rights laws are offensive, you see, because they violate states' rights. That that just happens to benefit bigots is just a weird coincidence. Just like libertarians being Constitutional originalists—the law needs to be understood the way it was when slavery was entrenched both legally and politically.

edit: Black person, not "a black." My missed word made it seem like I was a time traveler from 1972.

Man, Coulter is sad. What was that, like, 10 Tweets to tell pretty much the same joke?

It's like she's in the comedy writer's room. “Coulter, give me 10 Gingrich jokes by noon!”

Have you ever read one of her books? I listened to one about fifteen years ago. Horrible, inane crap. The only way I made it to the end was by pretending it was a parody of dumbass right-wing spittle.
