I get this occasionally. Like when I'm shopping with the boyfriend, and we split up, my brain... "entertains the idea" that I don't actually have a boyfriend, and then posits what it would mean, how I ended up in Michigan, how I got to the store, etc. Brains are WEIRD.

Comey believed that the entire country needed to know that a presidential candidate might be connected to information on a laptop that she didn’t own, but the vice president did not need to be told privately that a key presidential adviser was definitely lying about his relationship with a foreign government. The inconsistency leaves one speechless.
To be clear, Comey’s disgraceful intervention was not the sole cause of Clinton’s loss. But every way of looking at the numbers show that it was the most decisive factor. Without Comey intervening, the Oval Office would be likely be occupied by a different person right now. And with every new revelation, the interference appears less and less justified. The sooner he faces the consequences for his colossal mistake the better.
...was...Obama...too soft...on Russia? Engaging with this man is like reading a Choose Your Own Adventure novel from cover to cover.
Update, 2/15/17, 12:25 p.m.: President Trump continued to defend Flynn during Wednesday’s joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Flynn is a “wonderful man” who has “been treated very, very unfairly by the media, as I call it, the ‘fake media’ in many cases.”
Trump also blasted the leaks from the US intelligence community that forced Flynn’s ouster as National Security Adviser: “From intelligence, papers are being leaked, things are being leaked. It’s criminal action, criminal act, and it’s been going on for a long time, before me, but now it’s really going on. People are trying to cover up for a terrible loss that the Democrats had under Hillary Clinton.”
President Donald Trump angrily repudiated a New York Times report that alleged his aides engaged in "repeated" contact with Russian officials throughout the campaign, taking to his Twitter account on Wednesday to blast the intelligence community for continuing to leak information to the media.
This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign.
Trump's denial comes amid the fallout from former national security adviser Michael Flynn's abrupt resignation on Monday, after it was revealed he misled the administration about his communications to the Russian ambassador. The Washington Post reported last week Flynn discussed easing American sanctions against Russia, contradicting the administration's previous characterization of the calls as innocent.
In typical Trump fashion, the president on Wednesday thanked Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake and Fox News for siding with his position on the ongoing leaks.
Casual reminder that the “America is a nation of immigrants” rhetoric
a) erases Natives and their history
b) erases African-Americans and the history of the slave trade and
c) frames European settlers and settlement through a benevolent immigrant perspective instead of a violent colonialist perspective, which is another form of erasure and history revisionism.
OK, now I really want a sequel to Firefly, in the same universe, but focusing on a completely different group of people, preferably folks who at least start out as Alliance folks, and I want it to be called Waterfall.

OK, so like, just go to the white house, make up a name, and tell them you're the president of mymindispullingablankistan. Obviously, they'll just let you in.
friendly “april is approaching” reminder from your local autistic not to support autism speaks, a group that hates autistic people while claiming to advocate for us
Well, here is some bad news, with a little bit of “I guess that’s fine” news crammed in for good measure: it seems campaign staff and other associates of President Donald Trump had “repeated contacts” with senior Russian intelligence officers during the campaign, according to a report from the New York Times.
Last panel applies if the technology in question is native to the people trying to grasp it. My claim that electricity is magic (not because I don't understand it so much as because I don't understand it ENOUGH) is obviously proof of the comic's point. If aliens show up tomorrow and say that the speed of light isn't the fastest speed possible, Clark's law will stand.

Trudeau: Prime Minister Abe, hello! Prime Minister Trudeau here.
Abe: Justin! Sup?
Trudeau: I gotta vent with you for a minute about this Trump guy, eh.
Abe: Did he try to rip your hand off, too?
Trudeau: He tried, but I grabbed his arm and hung on for dear life. It was like riding a mechanical bull.
Abe: No kidding. I’ve got two dozen acupuncture needles in my shoulder as we speak.
Trudeau: And how 'bout that "grand feast" of iceberg lettuce drowning in Bleu cheese dressing.
Abe: It was watered-down dressing. Who waters down salad dressing?!
Trudeau: I miss Obama.
Abe: You're always master of the understatement. Ha Ha.
Trudeau: Hey, does Trump really cheat at golf?
Abe: Let me put it this way---I wasn't sure if he was playing golf or soccer.
Trudeau: [Laughs] So you let him win?
Abe: Of course. He's a revenge guy. Did you see how he was letting Mar-A-Lago guests push random buttons on the nuclear football? [long pause] Hello? Justin, you still there?
Trudeau: You're kidding…right?
Abe: Ha ha, yes. He only lets guests pose for pictures with the football.
Trudeau: So what are we gonna do aboot this incompetent nutball, eh?
Abe: Smile and nod, my friend. Smile and nod. And don't talk about anything you don't want Putin to hear. It all gets back to him.
Trump: You're damn right it does!
Trudeau: President Trump?
Trump: Oops. [Click]
Abe: [Sigh] Gonna be a long four years, Mr. Prime Minister.
Trudeau: You said a mouthful of poutine, Mr. Prime Minister.
Cheers and Jeers starts below the fold... [Swoosh!!] RIGHTNOW! [Gong!!]
