Alleged comedian and all-around horrible man Bill Maher cautioned his fellow Democrats, “let’s not eat our own in 2020“.
Must be awful to be a member of a party where Bill Maher is the voice of reason.

I’d never noticed this before, but then I did, and it bugged me, then his explanation made me feel better

Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Scientists say the world has become more peaceful. Credit that to…
The SJW religion states that everyone is sinner and there is no forgiveness of sins.
“Bernie Sanders, who would have won in 2016 if Hilary hadn’t stolen the nomination, announced his candidacy today…”
The only part that duped me was the racist letter Smollet received. When I heard this was all in reaction to that not getting much attention, I felt kind of bad for him. But it ends up he probably fabricated that too.
I mean, I still do feel bad for him. It’s all very very sad. I’m actually more angry at all the people who immediately jumped head first on the story and enabled it despite how it had all the trappings of a hoax. It feels like they intentionally muted their BS detectors.
If you don’t like how seats are distributed in the Senate, aren’t your only options to stage a military coup or start a new country? Seems unlikely most states are going to vote themselves less power.

“Let’s see… for you… Slytherin!”
FBI agent posing as a professor immediately writes the name down on a watchlist
If MacGyver ate with a comb, you’d be like, “Good thinking, MacGyver!”
I don’t like how Feinstein handled those kids. She should have more patiently and kindly explained to them how everything they believe in is dumb.
Who is telling kids they have 12 years to convince the useless idiots in Congress to pass bills made by morons or the world ends? That sounds like really bizarre child abuse.
Any senator dismissive of the political concerns of kids can’t be all bad.
I had never watched Empire. Apparently my mom likes it.
If the left were ever like, “Let’s surrender on the abortion issue to get the Republicans to vote for the Green New Deal!” then I’d actually believe they think the world is ending. Everything they’ve actually done just looks like play acting.
“If Trump agrees to sign the Green New Deal, then we’ll make sure he runs for re-election unopposed.” That’s something someone who thought the world is going to end would do.
That Captain Marvel trailer is confusing. I kept watching it wondering when Captain Marvel would appear, but apparently that’s Brie Larson’s character even though “Captain” is a BOYS name.
Why do we need fictional female superheroes when we have Dianne Feinstein yelling at dumb kids?
PALPATINE: “You see, things aren’t so simple. Not everything is so black and white.”
ANAKIN: “Well… I guess you could be right.”
PALPATINE: “Since you accept that, do you want to… go to the Jedi temple and murder a bunch of kids?”
ANAKIN: “That’s a GREAT idea!”
My 3yo is playing tee-ball. I didn’t realize most of the team would be 6yos twice her size. It’s adorable.

I honestly thought we killed all the Nazis and the Commies back in the 20th century. Really feels like the previous generation didn’t finish their job and now we’re suffering. Looking at you, Boomers!
I’ve seen two of the best picture nominees. I guess I should have seen Roma by now since it’s right there on Netflix, but Umbrella Academy sounded more interesting.
Unlike Trump, the left have a solid plan to make this country a better place: They’re going to infight and destroy each other.
Of the best picture nominees I’ve seen, I though Black Panther was the best (the only other one I saw was Green Book).
Into the Spiderverse was the best picture I saw last year, but it’s not up for that award.
Also, I feel like Avengers: Infinity War should get an award for actually being coherent. That movie was a feat.
Green Book almost felt like some sort of paint by numbers to make a best picture nominee. I enjoyed it okay, but there was really nothing better?
And I’ve been a fan of Mahershala Ali since The 4400, but I’d describe his performance in Green Book as “good,” but nothing that really stood out to me.
I liked him better in Luke Cage.
Probably would need to write a program to pull in the data and figure this out, but going by RottenTomatoes, what is the worst movie to have been nominated as best picture and what’s the worst to have won?
How can you been taken seriously on politics if you can’t admit the simple fact that AOC is a dummy?
I don’t know if she’s exceptionally dumb for a representative from a very safe district, but she dumb.
We live in the easiest, most prosperous time in human history, but is it a good time to have kids?
“The world is going to end in 12 years which means you need to pass every left-wing policy I already wanted you to pass plus I get a pony.”
Yeah, whatevs.
The message of Green Book was “racism is bad.” Some people really hated that movie. I guess because they don’t like the message.
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse was one of the most original things I’ve ever seen — its animation style like nothing else — and was the only thing that deserved Oscars.
I hope my 401k recovers. I want to have a decent amount of money set aside so I don’t have to keep working when I’m 90 like Clint Eastwood.
Again I say, a smarter Oscars would wait a decade before awarding best picture. So many winners are movies no one remembers even after three years.
There’s not really room for moderate pro-abortion anymore. You have to be full on “If they want to chuck a baby in a wood chipper, that’s between a woman and her doctor” or you’re a traitor to the cause.
So for Trump to keep the moral high ground over the Democrats, all he has to do between now and November 2020 is not murder a baby.
This isn’t a surprise at this point, but the genetic test came back and Winchester has Down syndrome, so that will be a new adventure for us. I’m not sure what the point of a fourth kid is other than more adventure, though.
He doesn’t have any specific health problems, which we’re very grateful for. What he does have is three older siblings already doting over him. You’d think life can’t get any fuller, but I don’t think I’ve ever felt more blessed than I do now.
Winchester is his middle name. We decided to give him a fun middle name like his oldest sister, Buttercup. And he was born on the canonical 40th birthday of Dean Winchester.

A new report shows that traces of weed killer are showing up in some beers.
Is that what that is? I thought craft beers had just run out of flavor ideas.
