Obviously this a permaban. Are we really going to make everyone vote?

I looked up Sparkle Motion in the Urban Dictionary and understand that it means “Awesome”, but I’m not sure how to use it in a sentence. I want to be able to bust it out on my kids in front of a bunch of their friends to show them how cool I am. Thanks in advance for any help.

Needs the word “Participation” somewhere.

I agree with this. The election is a year away, that’s an eternity in political time these days.
It seems pretty clear that the impeachment proceedings have been at best politically neutral for the Democrats, this is the new Access Hollywood tape where everyone keeps expecting it will matter and it keeps not mattering. I don’t know what the best move is vis a vis sending it to the Senate now or later, but I hope the Democrats are not proceeding under the assumption that this is some sort of trump card, no pun intended, that they’re holding.

Does this mean anything? I assume no but twitter folk seem worked up.
Why wouldn’t he be?
I was referencing a scene from Donnie Darko where Kitty Farmer (Beth Grant) shows up at Rose Darko’s (Mary McDonnell) door asking her to take over chaperoning duties of their girls’ dance team on their upcoming out-of-town trip to a competition. Kitty says she can’t do it as planned because she has to stay in town and help get Jim Cunningham (Patrick Swayze) out of trouble with the cops because of “false charges.” It appears that Someone had set our hero Jim’s house on fire, and the responding firemen and cops discovered a stash of child porn in his burning home and arrested him on the spot. (Kitty is convinced of his innocence.)
When Rose appears to balk at assuming chaperone duties under these circumstances, Kitty questions her “commitment to Sparkle Motion,” which is the name of the girls dance team aforementioned.
I was honestly unaware of any other meaning so I learned something new today.

I doubt it means anything, but the base did turn on nixon before the party did, so I’d assume the base has to turn on trump before the senate would ever think about removal.

I doubt it will mean anything, but it seems somewhat notable. I just scrolled through some of their past issues at random, and it appears their claim of being historically apolitical is accurate. In their October 2016 issue, their election analysis was actually three articles: why a Christian should vote for Clinton, why a Christian should vote for Trump, and why a Christian should vote for neither (all with different authors).
In that sense, it’s not like this is a historically pro-Trump publication coming around to reality. On the other hand, it is a historically apolitical publication wading into politics in a way that will probably challenge the views of some of their readers. It’s a good thing, but unlikely to be very meaningful.

I haven’t seen the movie (yet), but your synopsis explains the creepy feeling I got while watching the routine. Made me immediately think of this:

Caramel popcorn and Cracker Jack are good.
Butter popcorn like that shit from the theaters is gross.

Definitely watch it, it’s a cult classic you will want to see more than once. IIRC it was released right after 9/11 so it didn’t get the fanfare it should have but it’s one of my faves.
It features a very-young Seth Rogan as a bully, which is weird as he’s done nothing but comedies since.

I can watch it on Amazon Video with ads…might just rent it because fuck ads. But fuck Bezos too. I’m conflicted.
