He's saying that all of the annoying Republicans from Virginia (You, Christie's stomach, shua) are starting to blend together and you might all be the same guy.

uh, okay Seatown

A D-WA avatar is the perfect person to be talking about other posters with similar avatars blending into one another, of course.

Agreed, Sanchez is one of those people where you typically don't feel the urge to click 'Show' on his posts.

I am opposed to all legalization of marijuana.  I'm very old fashioned, but more than that I've seen way too many instances of it killing or seriously harming someone.  I've rarely seen it help anyone.

Yeah, this one guy I knew started smoking weed and his life went so badly he had to move in with his parents and now it's like his life is going nowhere

[Joe Republic]

But I get that this is a situation where the culture of conservative-bashing takes precedence. Where doesn't it?

Poor conservatives... just nothing ever goes their way...

[Joe Republic]

Inks, shut it.

Looks like every one of the pedosupporter supporters has been here already and commented.  Do you guys get a text every time a topic with "opebo" in the title is started?

[Joe Republic]

Good call on the edit, Ernest.  We don't want the jailed mass murderer to call Dave on copyright infringement.

And in those ten years the entire Northwest sans Pennsylvania  have followed their lead, along with several others.

Not by the will of the people, though. By the will of judges legislating from the bench

I mean it's bad enough that the legislators legislated from the legislature in NH, VT, RI, NH, DE, DC, IL, MN, and HI, but the voters had to join them in ignoring the will of the people in ME, WA, and MD, and sort of MN.

I wanted to protest the fact that I always get kicked out of chat. Looks like everyone noticed.

Yeah, and now everyone here likes you even less than previously imagined.  Did you accomplish what you wanted?

[Joe Republic]

i consider myself a progressive.

North Korea calls itself Democratic

What's the longest period of time in which a seat on the Supreme Court has been vacant?

What do you mean by that?  It's just tradition to have 9 Justices.  Historically, we've had both more than 9 and fewer than 9, until we sort of settled on nine.  So, that question doesn't really make sense.

Let me rephrase that for you: since the tradition was set to have nine justices 100+ years ago by congress, what is the longest time in between a member leaving/dying and the successor officially taking the seat on the court? Is there any precedent for the court to serve with less than nine in that timeframe?

Was it that hard to figure out instead of playing some unpleasant semantics game? Unless you were just looking to display your knowledge of facts that most here are aware of.

I'd rather be a little prick than a swaggering, overly-aggresive git who mimics the symptoms of Tourette's when irritated.

Ice burn baby. Such an appropriate and hilarious use of a neurological disorder as an insult well. Though I should let you know, for future reference you understand, that 'aggressive' has two, rather than one, 's's in it.

There's no retort quite like the one where you correct someone's spelling.

It's the perfect addition of insult to injury, isn't it?  This is precisely the reason why this hallowed Institute is named after Mr. Realpolitik.

I mean, I've never been on a cruise, but it sounds like you just lounge around and eat food and drink alcohol for like a week while stopping in tropical ports every now and then to walk around? That sounds fun to me? Not sure why people are so against it.

Sounds boring as f[inks].

...you walk around and travel to play a game of tag for fun

(BRTD added a self-burn by responding that it's not like tag because sometimes it feels like he's in a Bourne movie.)

[Joe Republic]

hey murica would u like some lotion or something

[Joe Republic]

Wulfric you're nowhere near clever enough to join the Ironic Trump Brigade. Just stop.

Education standards in the Netherlands must be in a truly sorry state if DavidB thinks CXSmith's posts resemble those of a college graduate.

Making fun of kids crying is pretty creepy.

Do you even have skin at this point?  I imagine it's so thin as to be unobservable.

[Joe Republic]

Still have Cruz winning Indiana.

And you also "have" the Earth being only 6000 years old. kindly assert evidence in support of your posts. it'll be tough to adapt from sweeping baseless assertions i know, but give it a shot.

[Joe Republic]

How shocking.

Not shocking for those of us who live in his district.

Not shocking for those of us who post on Atlas that J. J. can't understand sarcasm.

[Joe Republic]

Not watching this as a protest to the exclusion of Gary Johnson.

You go ahead with that. I'm sure Lauer has been shaken to the core, and has taken to weeping into one of his paychecks for his $25 million salary. I assume you will register your strong and principled objection into your non-existent Nielsen monitoring box.

[Joe Republic]

Well, consider me adequately burned by both the 'whiny SJW beta' and conservative moron* factions.
