The Rude Pundit

Man, I've got some bullshit friends. They'll buy me a drink or a meal sometimes. But now I want tuition and tires and free vacations.

Frankly, the whole coronation could have been done in an email.

How do you not just giggle your ass off when you’re sitting there in a big, fancy hat holding two golden sticks, pretending this whole bullshit thing is anything other than extended Medieval Times dinner theatre?

Someone rang my doorbell and it turned out they had the wrong house. It didn't even occur to me to shoot them. I'm a terrible American.

Listen, you right-wing fucknuts: Sotomayor didn’t hide her payments from Random House. Big fucking difference from Thomas. Yes, she should have recused, but she was under no obligation to do so. That’s why the Supreme Court needs clear, enforceable rules.

You know that if Clarence Thomas were to step down from the bench, fuckin' Manchin and Sinema would refuse to seat a liberal in his place.

If the jury finds in favor of E. Jean Carroll, they'll be saying that it is more likely than not that Trump is a rapist. I would hope the media would treat him as such, but I'm not holding my breath.

There is no ban on drag performances in public in Tennessee. A judge has blocked the bill from going into effect. So if the police are telling you that you'll get in trouble for having drag queens in your show, then that's pure bullshit intimidation. https://www.vulture.com/2023/05/hayley-kiyoko-drag-queens-tennessee-ban.html

I mean, for fuck's sake already.

Exclusive: Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo arranged for the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work nearly a decade ago, specifying that her name be left off billing paperwork. http://wapo.st/3LzCGpM

I do as much “locker room talk” with other guys as anyone. Never once have I heard someone brag about how they “grab ‘em by the pussy.” That’s a weirdly specific phrase, and if I heard someone say it, I’d think, “Holy fuck, this asshole is really doing that to women.”

And Clarence Thomas is gonna vote against student loan forgiveness.

No one gives a shit if wealthy-ass Clarence Thomas paid his nephew's tuition. It's that Harlan Crow paid it. Do you even know the definition of "racist"?

@rudepundit@mstdn.social The great nephew was NOT a dependant of Thomas - who paid the bulk of his education expenses. Should they NOT have helped him? That’s what you’re advocating? Racist.

Murder is not a "defense against disorder."

The choking death of a man with apparent mental illness in the New York subway set off powerful reactions, with some calling the chokehold a homicide and others defending the passenger’s action as a defense against disorder. https://apnews.com/article/chokehold-nyc-subway-jordan-neely-video-46aac914ff0cddcc75977a8fb7adda0d?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter

I guess Elon stopped the ability to post Tweets here. He's such a petty little dope.

In a video deposition, Trump to E. Jean Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, when she asked about his saying Carroll wasn't his type: "You wouldn’t be a choice of mine, either, to be honest. I wouldn’t under any circumstances have any interest in you.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/04/nyregion/e-jean-carroll-trump-rape-trial.html

Goddamn, Beef on Netflix is awesome. Unpredictable plot, insanely great acting, just an amazing dissection of contemporary loneliness. With killer needle drops.

Clarence Thomas really has shitty friends.

Justice Thomas's friend confirms @propublica's reporting and adds that Crow paid for the child to attend a second school as well.

(Also, the reason you send "tuition payments directly to the school" is so it doesn't trigger a tax liability for the child or his relatives.) https://twitter.com/MarkPaoletta/status/1654086444594483200
