Worse than Reagan on disease.

Someone pointed out, and I assume I will be corrected if the claim is faulty, that neither Nixon or LBJ used military force to disrupt protests outside the White House despite those protests being much larger. When Nixon and LBJ are the positive comparisons, you are really hitting a new level of awful.

I live in DC and have been attending the protests all week, and the scariest thing to me is the presence of literal mercenary contractors mixed in with the police. They are driving around the city in unmarked SUVs and trucks, and are identifiable by their mismatched military style gear that doesn’t bear any…

My favorite quote today:

Ugh. This “Battlefield D.C” thing makes me sick to my stomach. I’ve heard from 2 vets so far that tell me that this is just plain fruitcake-nutty and that the Sec’y of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs need to resign. I’m quite worried.

There’s been a sea change in the American public mind over the past few decades in that empathy seems to have completely disappeared from the conservative personality. It was never one of the conservative’s strong suits, but since Regan it has become increasingly rare. Add to this an overall American ideological shift…

Our County, in California, is ultra conservative and they are fighting everything that makes common sense. I am meeting with the Board President tomorrow to knock some sense into her and am going to share your post with her. 

The anti-mask, “reopen now!” people aren’t wrong because of their tactics, they’re wrong on substance.

I’ve posted elsewhere here that I’m in grad school for my MPH and currently taking a class on public health law. My professor noted in a lecture that the public backlash against quarantine is upending centuries of legal thought and decades of academic instructions, since quarantine has always been looked at as almost…

Lol. I’m a woman who worked on Wall Street for more than 4 years and am 1000002% completely unsurprised by this. My coworkers and I once made a March Madness-style bracket of who in the office was the most bro-y.

So it is proved once again that water is in fact wet.  Good to know.  

Solid comparison! The staff of a blog doing Fuck, Marry, Kill about celebrities is exactly the same as it happening in the workplace with supervisors keeping a running list of their subordinates...

Have you ever seen the thirsty men who go to work at hedge funds? They do this to completely overcompensate for their personality and neediness.

Thanks, y’all.  My uncle is dead because other people decided to be selfish and greedy.  You are the reasons we will have at least some lockdown measures for the rest of the year.  Everyone who ignores the rules extends the rules.  Go to hell.

Republicans have been doing this since Lee Atwater and Reagan. They continually move the goal post of what constitutes real racism to the point that you can’t really be a racist unless you’re wearing a KKK outfit while burning a cross on a black family’s lawn while screaming the n-word.

So....he’s threatening to move Tesla away from California, so everyone who works there can lose their jobs, if he doesn’t get his way?

I love how he’s positioning himself as a martyr. Meanwhile, the risk he’s facing is that he’ll get arrested, post a bond, get out, and pay a fine, all of which he can easily afford because of his massive wealth. Meanwhile, he would be putting his employees in a spot where they must choose between their health and a…

Perhaps I’m not one to talk because I love bold prints, I would buy a ridiculous Batsheva dress in a minute if she ever made clothes above a size 10, and I sincerely love a lot of puffy pastel shit like this:

It’s really just amazing to me that we went through a process where Liz was the legit front runner then it comes to voting and it’s Biden and now the same shitstains are like “what do we doooo?”. I hate humans. I really do.

“Listen to women!”
