Judicial benefits? Like 95% of divorces don't have custody challenged, they're agreed upon outside of court between the two parties.

Yep. Most men don't even ask. Turns out when they do ask it's closer to 50-50.

There are benefits but they're not benefits you'd actually want to benefit from. Like people taking your claims of rape seriously is nice and all but nobody wants to be raped in the first place. Sure male rape by women is not taken seriously by most of society but when you've reached a point where you're comparing privileges of aftermath of rape it's safe to say that these things aren't real privileges.

As for dating privileges, it varies greatly based on age and number of kids. Sure, 25 year old single women have it easy, but trying to hook up as a 40 year old single mom with 3 kids is near impossible.

Small correction.

Sessions could be fired, but in doing so it restarts the Saturday Night Massacre linked above and the American people will not be so quick to forget this time.

But will this Congress bring charges? Almost definitely not. The Nixon impeachment happened with a democratic House and Senate. If it's even going to be an option, Dems need to slaughter this November.


Recent special election track record suggests that's what's going to happen so all will remain to be seen.

Because it still falls under the purview of the executive branch. What would you do if an investigation actually WAS breaking the law/eating up lots of funds for nothing/etc. ?

Also, he can't fire Mueller. But he can fire the people in charge of firing Mueller until one gives in.

Only Rod Rosenstein can fire Mueller

Sessions can fire Mueller but has completely recused himself from anything to do with the investigation.

I don't think Rosenstein has that authority since it would have to get approved by Sessions and it would sit in infinite limbo.

short answer is

The war was super unpopular

So Gerald Ford was trying to court political favor by pulling resources out of Vietnam but EBUL COMMUNIST needed to be stop so he couldn't pull out entirely and the military just never got the resources they needed to win. They were sent with not enough men, not enough equipment, not enough training, etc, and he lost the election anyway.

This has been a terrifying but entertaining thing to follow. I would love to hear that we found no actual collusion with Russia at all with Trump's camp (because I'd much rather Trump be terrible on his own, not be terrible because of Putin), but that seems increasingly unbelievable with the way he's been acting lately about this investigation.

The quote I've seen tossed around

"If Trump is innocent, why is he acting guilty?"

Like, there's really no rational explanation for his behavior


Of course there is. There's a spy dossier that's assets collusion, and we know that Trump is paranoid and prone to conspiracies (much like the left these days). In his mind, the "deep state" are trying to overthrow him with false accusations. Or, he believes that some in his camp may have colluded without his knowledge (based on his reading the dossier), and he knows that this will reflect badly on him whether or not he was aware.

If the President is going to justify his actions based on nonexistent conspiracy theories then he needs to be removed whether or not there is collusion.

Take the jeans out and spray them with some febreze or something and they'll smell like they're fresh out of a wash without having to actually wash them.

edit: well it won't get rid of stains, but if you don't have any stains, you don't have to wash the jeans.

Was the last time you read it in 1991?

Just flipping through the book casually there are some fairly nonserious parts on behalf of Pip the Troll, Drax, Adam Warlock taunting Galactus, Thanos ends up doing some silly shit while fighting the Celestials.

It's not Guardians 2 level comedy from start to finish but saying the whole book is 100% serious is just not accurate.
