Time what it takes to type WHOA. Assume caps lock for efficiency. Assume you have your every need met from the minimum age at which you can type WHOA such that all of your days are spent attaining a type speed for that one phrase that outstrips any known human keyboard interface achievement otherwhere recorded or observed. Assume in this that you are fed, watered, thirdparty toileted at the relevant stance the better to constantly batter out this one awed expression second following minute following hour following day following season following life. Assume keyboards swapped into place with the practiced aggressive ruthless sterility of formula one tyre changes, assume steroidal implants into wrists and caffeinated dietary patterns and artificial lighting and the minimum of sleep required and supernormally elongated lifespan needed in order to be able to definitively state to the satisfaction of the mcwhirter apotheosis that in your terrible, artificial, bloodless and idiot existence you had eked out the greatest possible number of typed instances of WHOA not just on record but that could in any posited reality be realised.

Work out, from the total, what the least of these WHOAs was worth as an individual WOAH taken against all of the WOAHs possible in this imaginary WOAH maximising existence. Take this WOAH as a base standard for utter insignificance against all the WOAHs possible in a lifetime.

The WOAH at the start of the tweet posted above is that WOAH administered via homeopathy, the shittiest, least deserving WOAH of ours or any other time, truly a WOAH that will do the opposite of echoing through the ages, a WOAH that will exist in history as the complete blackhole absence of the meaning it presumably intended to convey, the typing of WOAH as an intro to such a radically underwhelming mousefart of nothing content is the work of a master satirist operating on a quantum physical scale and one can only fear what magic and havok might be wrought if the worst implications of such inversion of meaning and language can be brought to bear on the natural plane of existence inhabited by all known matter.

Man, "Campus Utility Meter Data (2017 WHOA Remix)" fucking sucks.

how confident are we that mcconnell doesn't have some kind of secret back-door loophole where they're gonna pass bcra at 11:59 friday night

dmac you have unresolved inner WHOA v WOAH conflict

Surprise in this case being the satisfying fart he appears to be letting out.

but if Russia annexes more countries or gains allies counter to the US, I can still build more Trump hotels in those countries because Russians like me, right?

But the donors!

Ann Coulter: Hannity Would Endorse Communism If Trump Implemented It https://t.co/RIeyXe4N1k pic.twitter.com/g2TOScNre8

ugh coulter so vile

In the latest chapter of the ongoing feud, Coulter penned a column arguing that Trump’s stocking the White House halls with Goldman Sachs executives will alienate his base of support — an act of political suicide tantamount to “voluntarily getting an AIDS transfusion.”

With his bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act in deep trouble, Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, raised an alternate possibility on Tuesday evening: Either Republicans come together in the days ahead, or he may have to work with Democrats to shore up the deteriorating health law.

This reminds me of '80s cartoon episodes when the good guys needed COBRA, Skeletor, or Megatron's help to destroy some world-historic force.

Key Republicans want to remove tax cuts for top earners from their health care bill.

This makes no sense. Without the tax cuts, they don't need to enact the unpopular benefit cuts. If they're ideologically committed to benefit cuts and pass those alone, they lose the ability to get the tax cuts through reconciliation. If there's no benefit cuts and no tax cuts, the bill is just ... nothing? Or does it just come down to "we removed the individual mandate and replaced it with you have to wait six months to get insurance if you're uninsured, we otherwise leave ACA mostly alone, and we're gonna call that repeal and replace?"

Mitch conveniently eliding the fact that any health care bill getting mostly Democrat votes in the Senate would die in the House.

Coulter penned a column arguing that Trump’s stocking the White House halls with Goldman Sachs executives will alienate his base of support — an act of political suicide tantamount to “voluntarily getting an AIDS transfusion.”

The way this is written, one could be uncertain as to which act is an act of political suicide - Coulter penning the column, or Trump stocking the halls?

Coulter is vile, sure (so's the Trumpster), but recent history suggests that Trump may have a better feel for his base of support than anyone in the commentariat does. Everybody who has said "THIS is the thing that will lose him support" has been wrong.

Well, except for the part where he's been steadily losing support.

they just have competing angles on ideological inconsistency xp

Trump's loss of support from his base would appear to be not so much about anything he's done, but is more about his not accomplishing anything at all.

I wonder who hat man is.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), one of more than half a dozen GOP senators who have raised concerns the impact of proposed Medicaid cuts in their states, said Wednesday that it remained impossible to predict if a refashioned bill could change enough members’ minds.

“That is an existential question, and it’s very hard for me to answer existential questions,” Cassidy said.

Life, what is it?

He's reminding us he couldn't finish No Exit in college.

How considerate of him!

I love Susan Collins' expression.

Deeply unsurprising.

she's doing a great job of doing a terrible job. among the people explicitly hired to do a bad job, though, she has tough competition. scott pruitt is a fucking beast, man. he not only hates the agency he leads with a burning passion, but he has the knowledge to know exactly how to burn it down. but like i said it is very tough out there, lots of elite competitors in the game here, must see administrative breakdown on a daily basis, it is truly the golden age of self hatred

rick perry coming in strong, though, look out!

Perry caught flack last week for denying that carbon dioxide is a primary factor in climate change, something that reporters pressed him on again today. But over several questions, Perry’s response was far from clear. “The climate is changing, man is having an impact on it,” Perry said, expressing frustration that “we can’t have an intellectual conversation about just what are the actual impacts.”
