It’s not really about the proportion. The rest you have right. Things (good or bad) may happen as a result of your behavior (good or bad). Those things are natural consequences. We talk about it a lot in the context of punishing behavior, but natural consequences can also reinforce behavior.

Only if he thinks Vance or someone who stands to benefit from Vance’s advancement is plotting against him. However, there’s a line of succession of terrible people. He can’t tarnish the “good names” of all of them.

She smells worse, but damned if she isn’t so much nicer.

I’m with you. For the record, I was not advising people to act unethically, just surprised he wasn’t better at it.

He’ll go after their loved ones to get at them. He’s a moron, but not everyone in his sphere is. Plus, they have playbooks from other fascists to follow. They’ll figure this tactic out.

He’s smart, but not wise. When you don’t know everything and don’t know what you don’t know, you act carefully. When it comes to the law, you should be extra careful and he should have had attorneys that advised him again putting this shit in writing.

Yes, it’s called the present, and the Neanderthals have control of the White House.

My ears were burning.

I did criticize iPads, and now I own one and stream from it a huge portion of my watching experience.

So, all politicians? Lol

I usually do mine solitarily.

The distinction they are making is that it wasn’t nothing, it just wasn’t nearly enough. Woefully so. However, some people tried, but the assholes were already installed to stall and block the attempts. There were legal processes being followed, but the right was not faithfully doing their jobs. This was because they were specifically installed in those positions to not do the right thing.

Why would you do that to those leeches? I speak, of course, of the annelids, not the terrible humans leeching off of us.

Very good. Now, same or different: fire and ice?

Especially them. I don’t feel safe around the police without a serial killer in my vicinity.

I look at that less as a plot point and more as a nod to video game design. I really liked that movie.

There was some amazing stuff in some of those hidden passages. It was well worth it in that game. Doom/Doom 2 had a lot of that, too.

Realtor: “It’s ocean front on 4 sides!” Potential buyer: “So, it’s on an island?” Realtor: “Not really, no.”

A right she’s happy to not extend to our country’s children.

I think I’d add a panel before 1 and show it running from far away and remove what is currently the 4th panel entirely. I get that it’s a different joke, but I think it’s funnier. OR, if you’re going to make the existing joke, don’t have the antelope say it, add something nondescript labeled “your feelings” chasing it and make the cheetah’s eyes bulging only in the last panel.
