Well, so far TFG’s only promised to use the justice department to persecute his political enemies. There’s no reason to think he will (when you don’t look at behavior from the past, the future can’t truly be known, and the present is but a fleeting moment).
McConnell is the pinnacle of courage in the republican party.
When I am negotiating play, whether that’s a pick up scene at camp or discussing something longer term with someone I’m dating, I always thank people for telling me their boundaries and for telling me “no” to something they do not want to do. I appreciate that because I like the people I’m partners with / dating / asking about play and I want to know what they don’t want just as much (possibly more) than what they want! (There’s also a difference there because I’m not interested in “what can they do for/to me,” but instead what can we do together that we will both/all enjoy!)
I know, right? 
Hmm. Is this too positive for the “Thread of assholes” thread?
I propose John Kennedy’s pronouns be changed to fuck/off/die.
As for me, I’m still they/them and nonbinary, so obviously this waste of flesh doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Then, 15 minutes later, Temple police responded to Insomnia Cookies in the 1300 block of Cecil B. Moore Avenue after another report of three suspicious males claiming to be police and ICE agents.
WTF are Insomnia Cookies?
ETA: Sorry, never mind. Cookie shop chain. Should have googled after I finished doubting my sanity and before I posted.
I think it’s a store on Temple U property.
They’re not exclusive to temple property. There’s at least one in Milwaukee near UW-Milwaukee. They’re pretty good, open late, and they deliver.
This has been going on for quite a while, and some of these companies are so fucking stupid.
One company e-mailed my wife thinking it was me. What makes that so stupid, they already had my e-mail address. I immediately cancelled my subscription and told them to take a short walk off a long pier.
They have a tendency to be located near colleges/universities and other areas with young adults who have a tendency to run late hours. They’re open until 3:00am (and will deliver until then) on Fridays/Saturdays, and 1:00am the rest of the week.
‘Trump released something to us’: Alex Jones reveals purported ‘tranche’ of ‘secret intel’

No idea where but this… Of course AJ is a liar but then again Trump is insane…
What @chgoliz said. 
The one in Ames, IA has been there since 1991 or 92. With one next to Eastern Michigan’s campus having moved in sometime in the early 00’s, I’ve been eating these cookies (on occasion) nearly all my adult life. 
Now I really need a puke emoji.
One of the local universities (big, largest employer in the region, etc.) sent me a “thank you for your donation” letter a year or so ago. The only problem, of course, was that I hadn’t donated anything to them.
Turns our my wife gave a donation to a campus ministry group. OK, but the letter was addressed only to me - her name wasn’t on it.
Hmmm. “Tranche” is a “divison or portion” of something, but it’s usually used in financial contexts (sales of shares, securitized mortgage debt, etc.)
I’ve seen it used in this way when talking about document dumps. For example if someone is intermittently releasing leaked information, the partial releases will sometimes be referred to as “tranches”.
