The Secret Service has to protect the First Lady whether she works or not.  I doubt that there is much (if any) marginal extra cost associated with her having a job, I highly doubt it is going to be $50 million a year.  And, like, protecting the First Family is literally the Secret Service’s job.  It is not like this…

I mean, if it were actually going to cost $50 million dollars, that would be pretty irresponsible and extravagant. It’s not though. She’ll have her standard detail for outings, and they’ll have to spend some money doing background check work on some people at the college, all of which are tools the Secret Service has…

Dude, how the fuck is this going to be any more expensive than any of the many times the secret service has kept first children protected at school and college? Use your brain.

Please shut up. Thank you. 

Maybe save the complaints for when she makes the Secret Service buy merch at the bookstore. You know, like Trump charging them for literal drinking water at the clubhouse.

Not even remotely a close comparison.

The overall tenor of the Democratic Party does not support defunding the police. It is not the position of the party’s candidate for president (who won, by the way). It is not the position of any Democrat in any leadership position in Congress that I’m aware of. It isn’t the position of any Democrat who had sought the…

Nah, it’s not the same at all. The point is that those dumbass voters are never ever going for a center left candidate because they are idiots who will eat up the GOP’s socialist mud slinging propaganda no matter what candidate. That 47.6 is lost. So the key is in educating and reaching out to more left wing people…

Except that progressives are winning in swing districts. That’s the point. No progressive is actually out there condemning the centrist wing when the rubber meets the road. The squad lined up behind Joe Biden and mobilized in Michigan and Wisconsin, even though he was clearly not their candidate. Without the…

Yes it’s very intentional. She has been accused, including on Jez, of picking a name that’s intentionally ethnically ambiguous. This is similar to the white academics who don’t correct others when mistaken for POC.

You are suggesting that the party has no room to be a large tent party. What you are effectively advocating for is the Republican strategy of complete submission and unity within the party. This is not good, and leads to a regressive government. Democrats absolutely need to be pulled to the left by progressives or…

Those mailers would’ve gone out no matter what the candidates stood for. Hell, look at what Collins and Loeffler threw at each other in Georgia, and they’re both Republicans!

I favor a scorch GOP-earth policy. Let loose the professionals at the DOJ on to each and everyone who was ever a part of the 45* regime. Including sitting US senators like McConnell for the shady dealings that favored his wife’s companies. They ALL need to be prosecuted to the fullest so they know that they should…

[copying and pasting my own comment from another thread]

I’m guessing it's to cover up the fact she can't actually sing well. 

Heh I started doing that because she was accused of trying to sound ethnic with that name. She used to go by Lizzie Grant. Should have stuck with that.

He’s just delaying the inevitable at this point, and GOP obstructionism is nothing new.  It won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things, and you’ll still end up with better governance than if Trump had been reelected.

I had no doubt the orange mutant baboon would obstruct the transition. Why wouldn’t he? That would be admitting he’s a loser just like his father always knew he was. We already know he doesn’t give a fuck about the country or the citizens. If he can make it as hard as possible for Biden to get up and running, he can…

OKAY, FUCK THIS.

i don’t give af whose bed she ends up in, but this breathy singing style she's cursed us with needs to die 

The only thing Elizabeth Woolridge Grant ever did right was insult Moby to his face and have Moby unironically include that insult in his book.
