What about all the other condescending info in the CDC message?

I know very, very little about acedemic debating, but it my understanding that the made for TV shitshow we call presidential debates resembles an acedemic debate like The Venetian resembles Venice.

I’m really standing by my human Gollum comment. I’ve never heard of a more unlikable man. That shouldn’t matter but it doesn’t sound like he’s even a nice guy. Calling a girl’s mother a whore and making her cry. My god.

Wunker, a registered Democrat, told me: “I did contribute to Ted’s Senate campaign thinking he never had a chance, doing it out of solidarity for a former friend, and here he is.”

Not to be a huge downer (which means I’m about to be a downer) but I’m glad they don’t mention what the rumor was.

Panton told Jezebel in an emailed statement. “Ted and I had many mutual friends who would usually stop by to watch movies, play video games, or even engage in long, fun discussions about politics, philosophy, and life.”

This was DELICIOUS to read, Ellie. Kudos.

“As telegenic as an undertaker” is a phrase I never knew I needed in my life until now

i have a mirena and i love it, i haven’t had a period or a cramp in a year and it’s fucking bliss

Yes, I also worry that he will start to believe his own branding and refuse to work against a Republican candidate in the general so as not to compromise his fearless integrity (fearlessness being relative after camping out in preposterously safe seats in Vermont for decade upon decade.) He seems more reasonable than…

And you are right that the level of cognitive dissonance that goes into someone thinking “we need Bernie Sanders, because only his progressive values can save our country, but if not him it might as well be a Republican” is unsettling

The problem with Bernie acolytes is that they love the idea of vague anecdotal praise for their candidate (grassroots momentum!), but insist on rigorous quantitative analysis when anyone hints at suggesting their boy is, in fact, a politician playing the same game as everyone else.

Being a sore loser and not conceding when he loses, shit talking the organizations when he doesn’t get their endorsements, stealing campaign data, whining about the establishment when he almost exclusively gets positive press and now constantly changing the conditions after agreeing to them - it’s Bernie’s world…

Blood in your poop is black, everyone. Not red.

The old guy obviously did it, right? I can’t be the only one who immediately came to this conclusion...

I’m not a fan of telling someone what they should give as a present before they ask you. Have an e-mail ready to send out with a link to your registry or registries. Give them to your parents and wedding party for people who ask them. I think the tactful way to ask for money is to say “Thank you, we’re just happy you…

While I know/assume you meant it was the ‘right thing to do’ in the sense that it spared her the scrutiny, its pretty pathetic that we as a society would judge him for his wife’s mental health issue (which is neither something to be ashamed of nor an issue with his ability to govern).

That’s insulting to potatoes.

Papa Cruz.

I find this shocking, as I was certain Ted Cruz was a russet potato born of potato parents.
