If he got in your face and you had your hand up and it just barely touched his chest he’d be yelling “CALL 911!! THATS ASSAULT!!!”

Oh my God, now he’s speaking Scottish!
- Comment on Me at my library job as the only one who will weed books 1 month ago:
Do they sell them? My local library holds a book sale every so often (6 or 12 months, not sure). Books are usually $1 for a novel up to $3-4 for a textbook sized book. It’s always packed. Some people bring carts and fill them up with dozens of books.

Why?
- Comment on If trump appointments someone that doesn't last as long as Anthony Scaramucci do we measure that in fractional moochies or do we abandon the mooch system because it failed us? 4 months ago:
We abandon it because I’m tired of that Scaramucci guy being in the media as an expert on Trump. I don’t even watch TV but I’ve seen so many articles about Trump and when I click them it turns out to be something Scaramucci said on cable news the night before. Why the fuck would I want to hear from that guy?

Everybody except Junior has two entrees? I don’t go to McDonald’s much but I’ve never in my life seen anyone order two entrees.
- Comment on Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". 5 months ago:
A million heartbeats is 10 days. A billion is 27 years
- Comment on No further questions your honour 5 months ago:
In order to sue you have to show damages. It seems like she can only show benefits. Maybe she can gain more weight than she lost before she goes to court and start dating an asshole or something.
- Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! 5 months ago:
If my math is correct and we taxed everything over 100 billion at 100% we’d get over 900 billion in taxes. Nearly a trillion bucks if we limited these assholes to a measly 100 billion.
- Comment on They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot. 5 months ago:
A couple thoughts…
It is talking about President, but counts years where those names appeared on the ballot as Vice President too.
It also ignores that a lot of other people have also been on the ballots over the years.
Also, some of this is natural. When a president has an 8 year run, the Vice President is a natural person to take a shot at the presidency, so it’s perfectly normal to have 12 years where the same person is on the ballot as VP then P. It’s natural for this to happen more than once in a row. Whether we’ve had this long of a streak or not, I don’t know, but I suspect we might have.
This showerthought covers 44 years. The Bushs and Clintons double dipping is 12 years worth of ballots, but the other 32 years were natural. Hilary lost when she tried to double dip so I would argue the 8 years of Dubya are really the only anomaly in actual presidencies as far as “dynasties” are concerned.
