What a draconian piece, and how overtly so. "We picked sacrificing our elderly and here's a reason why that deserves plaudits," basically. Foul. Edit: But what would you expect from those who seemingly don't consume raspberries?

It feels insurmountable. What do you do? People can't behave as they like with impunity, but facing the consequences of their actions makes these clueless malefactors feel they're paying some price for being right, which so often propels them and their kind into further and more deranged delusions and unwavering devotions. They're irredeemable. But it's so insidious and malignant that stamping it out seems only to increase it. Biden's in an unenviable position but I hope his presidency will be effective, somehow.

Yeah. This happens and I've observed it with gays I know, but propagating notions about homos being hedonistic and selfish gets a bit tired when you see the behaviour everywhere.

She's an elusive chanteuse. The stems in the pic from Turkey are very distracting. Either the corset's pushing everything down (and up) or she may be ripe for another cooking oil drain.

Cretins. Wretched creatures, a blight on humanity. Look at them waddling around in the footage, emanating smugness, nothing to say about anything but never letting that stop them. Four died? Oh well.

Beginning months ago, I'd pretty much written the Senate off, so this is sensational. Feeling hopeful.

*J. Lo Super Bowl voice* LATINOS! On tenterhooks with it being so close between Ossoff and Perdue. C'mon...

It's truly a Christmas miracle this rapidly decaying cadaver managed to string some sentences together that had nothing to do with lesbian socialists. Regarding the grim pardons, it's somehow still surprising despite the bar having been subterranean from the jump. Wonder who'll be next.

"What do we tell our little girl Christmas morning? *dramatic pause* What're we s'posed to SAY, 'You been good, but Santa ran short'?" Emotional trauma: What is it and how to heal Edit: My heart goes out to Lady Gaga, as I'm sure she didn't receive her Cabbage Patch Kid and I know hard it must have been.

Oh no. Why does it look like they all could've been her siblings?

Exactly. He's playing to a particular audience and cashing in on those people's foolishness at the expense of democracy, because nothing matters but him. A place at Mar-a-Lago is honestly a fate too good. Hope he'll suffer.

Jess here is workin' it. I've never seen her look so good.

He's also making heaps of money from this ridiculous sideshow. His campaign has raised hundreds of millions in donations since the election alone, with more still coming in fast. As if he didn't already richly deserve indictments, I hope they'll come just for this. He doesn't care what destruction lies in his wake, provided he gets what he thinks he should have. It's indeed insanity.

Those 75 million people could be scooped up by someone just as bad, though. I wonder if this is another reason why so few fellow Republicans have denounced him. Alienate his base now and they'll never get anywhere.

The offspring absolutely lack his louche confidence some sad, disturbed people have mistaken for charm. His popularity is also founded on decades-long notions, most of them illusory, of success and prestige, so respect for him, misguided as it is, won't simply be inherited. I think the kids are embraced only to the extent that his blood "deserves" embracing.

Having studied feng shui extensively over the course of two minutes, the ch'i in that place is really bad; I'm afraid I'd have bailed before discovering if that mysterious bottle's of lube or anti-bac. WHERE is the Tanqueray?

At the end of the day, I guess he got his wish? It probably hadn't panned out this way in his head, but a gaggle of gays are suffering.

From the fuller perspective of a few days later, I wonder how he feels about torpedoing his "career" for some ephemeral fun. Whoops.

It has a look of crocodile tears about it. She needs to seem sympathetic. Well, I don't. People doing more ethical work and with more on the line frequently lose it all as well, for myriad reasons, oftentimes ones less fair, so... them's the breaks? Besides, chances are they'll be able to parlay the exposure into some other opportunity.

Appreciate the need not to widen the chasm, but Biden can, and should, act authoritatively and firmly without lowering or abasing himself. "Going high" doesn't seem to have been effective. He's never going to get the bonus points for showing decorum next to a lunatic from people who've deified that lunatic. Oh well; forget those people. Stop playing it their way.

I didn't know Jessica was one of Mariah's Lambs? On her Instagram, she recently posted a behind-the-scenes snap from the set of the "Shake It Off" video's bathtub scene. Very sweet.

I couldn't detest him more. "Organic," as if he's not actively encouraging the madness by expressing gushing gratitude and even going so far as to make cameo appearances. Surely we all understand it to translate to "I have plausible deniability if anything goes awry, but please keep it up!"

He's a saddo who'll try anything to put paid to his destiny, which is, of course, to be exposed as the loser he is. I'm more annoyed by the policymakers and commentators who are humouring it, but I guess their objective is to get his indignant, delusional, "mistreated" supporters out there with bells on to vote in Georgia come January. No depth too low.

His deserved reeling and unraveling would be amusing if it couldn't potentially have such dangerous effects. The hubris is like something out of a play.

The orb is still murky re: secret songwriter of the poison pen. I'm getting a name, a "Diane Warren," but it can't be right as who the fuck is that? @runa, that's a good idea for an episode! "The girls have a ball trying gumbo for the first time and fracking on RuPaul's ranch during their pit stop in Wyoming."
