Resigning 2 weeks before the end of the Trump administration is a bit like a serial killer seeking salvation by accepting Jesus into his heart a few minutes before death.

I actually had an especially inept criminal duo come in once when I worked at Borders back in the day with a bag full of blank gift cards they had just lifted from the newly emptied display beside me, asking if they could cash them in. After I ran ten BLANK CARDS through the machine and explained patiently that they…

Considering how many Evangelicals scream that all colleges are “leftist propaganda-mills that indoctrinate our children into Marxism”... possibly.
Though very, very few of the Evangelicals spouting that particular accusation truly appreciate how very, very sharp both edges of that particular sword are...

Very on brand for conservatives to take a cultural construct that emerged organically and make it as calculated and lame as fucking possible. I fully expect Freedom Force to start releasing “rapping videos” consisting of baggy pants, backwards baseball caps, and painfully awkward lyrics comparing paying taxes to being…

You forgot Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast, for that brief period around 2002-2003 when the French went “You know, the Afghanistan thing makes sense, but we’re not quite sold on Iraq.” and the whole country decided that anything “French” - fries, toast, cheese, wine, baguettes, omelets du fromage, the Dixie Chicks, etc…

As someone under 50, I find it all fascinating.

I care only because I’m a messy bitch that loves drama

I think we know that in America “freedom of religion” means “Christians (and Jewish people when convenient) can do literally anything they want.”

You Europeans, being comfortable with your bodies and not being bitter and judgemental, then lensing that through religious piety for cover. My joyless scold ancestors on the Mayflower murdered millions of Indigenous people to get away from just such behavior.

I like this headline a lot better than “Woman Who Would Have Cured COVID Left STEM Because Parents Told Her She’d Never Get a Man in that Lab Coat”.

When I’m driving my sportscar 100 mph, then I have to speed up to 150 mph to avoid being harassed by the highway patrol: this is why it is so hard being rich and white in America today!

“Coming out of the election right now, we’ve got to stabilize. This country’s got to stabilize first before we start to say okay, here’s how we’re marching out of this together forward,” he said.

You get a star just for the Blackadder reference

Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun.

Same. It is not my problem of they eventually regret wasting their twenties on  someone else’s midlife crisis.

Well I lost my grant funding due to his administrations sabotage of the ACA, so had to change jobs and can no longer help people obtain health insurance in rural areas with limited options. 

I’m so stressed I’m actually using my Hitachi Magic Wand on my shoulders

I still can’t believe she got her dog back.

I’ll never forget an argument I got into with a former colleague back in 2008, who INSISTED that I (and all liberals) were hypocrites unless we voted for McCain, because he had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate. When I told him that it didn’t work that way and that Palin was awful, he really thought he caught me…
