My sister is at home a lot right now, and she’s confirmed that, yes, a few minutes before I usually get home from work, my cat climbs out of wherever he’s been napping and goes to wait by the door for me. It fills me with joy every day.

aw. my cats love me so much, it’s always so obvious. they always sit next to me (or on top of me), wherever i go in the house. they follow me everywhere too and wait for me outside the bathroom. i don’t know if they know when i’m coming home, but every day as i pull up to the house after work, they’re in the window…

“Joleen Dudley, a real estate agent in Canton, Georgia, told STAT that we just need to give Trump some time to settle into his new job.”

Right? It’s like this weird property of American capitalism that people have come to view wealth as equating to merit. It makes no fucking sense and falls apart easily under analysis, but these willfully-ignorant fucks will never accept your “librul logic”.

“No matter how hard Trump fails at his job, there will likely always be a contingent of people who won’t blame him for it...”

This is spectacular shade.

Sports Night, TWW, Studio 60 and The Newsroom also all had episodes entitled “What Kind of Day it Has Been”.

Aaron Sorkin is genuinely the worst kind of liberal; he is so insistent that both he, and his fellow travelers, are neutral and color-blind that he repeatedly marginalizes women and minorities in an attempt to keep pretending that he’s the good guy and it’s those other guys that are the bad ones. Because if you keep…

The scales fell off of Sorkin’s eyes and he was shocked to find women are ignored except when we wear leggings.

Paradoxically, his vile narcissistic spite may actually save the nation after all.

It’s certainly a good thing he doesn’t hold a grudge over petty things.

Businesses are run with only the bottom line and enrichment of investors/stockholders in mind.

An anecdote of why you can’t run government like a business. As told by Jamie Vollmer:

Definitely. Because a company needs to serve its shareholders. A government needs to serve its voiceless and underrepresented. We can assign dollar values to this, but they will never work for the voiceless and underrepresented.

Putting everything aside, hatred of Trump, etc., this statement just bothers me to the core:

Privatizing government functions that are somehow coercive in nature (prisons, tax collection/IRS, etc.) is a shit idea and always will be. It’s undemocratic to give that kind of power to a private entity.

You got much further than my takeaway, which was “no fucking way he wrote or even read that statement”

“I promised the American people I would produce results, and apply my ‘ahead of schedule, under budget’ mentality to the government.”

Murdoch is said to be growing far more liberal - personally - in his old age.
