The optics of turning down Tanden (an extremely online person who has demonstrated poor judgement in the past) for the Office of Management and Budget, an incredibly wonky position are way different than turning down Haaland (who went with Native concerns over a pipeline that most people agree was bad news bears) and…

Oh please. Manchin is looking out for Manchin. He is doing what he is doing because it’s what gets him re-elected, not because he secretly is trying to help Republicans win.

I agree. It’s disingenuous to keep shitting on Dems for not leading when they inherited this mess and barely have a majority. Doesn’t mean I’m wild about Manchin (I’m definitely NOT!!) or that I think the Dems are hitting it out of the park, but come on! It’s so frustrating to keep reading and hearing this kind of…

Oh, good. We’ve gone from letting an evil turtle from Kentucky run the entire country to a doofus from West Virginia run the entire country. (Apologies to all non-turtle Kentuckians and non-doofus West Virginians.)

It’s an R stronghold that’s getting shit on because successive state-level governments have created the situation that is this raging dumpster fire.

The blame lies with the Texas State government first and foremost.

It’s not one of his more talked about movies (it’s truly awful,) but he had one that came out in the early aughts called Hollywood Ending where circa-2002 Debra Messing, Tea Leoni and Tiffany Amber Thiessen were all absolutely head over heels for circa-2002 Woody Allen. Technically, only the first two were in love…

This. The guy has SHOWN who he is. Ending up with a child you met when she was twelve is the creepiest goddamn thing in the world, and only a creepy creepy creep would be capable of it. That’s even leaving out the fact that he was supposed to be her goddamned father. If someone shows you who they are, believe it.

I don’t understand how anyone could believe Allen after the business with his stepdaughter.

Yeah, all of his films are pretty much, “They can’t get enough of me! Young, old, young, young, younger, whatever... ME, the bespectacled nebbish with attractive characteristics...”

Does the series touch on the fact that Allen tells us repeatedly, in film after film, who he is? How many movies has he made now about a young, barely legal woman getting ensnared by a creepy old man (often played by Allen himself)?

I love how Texas is all “zomg price gouging!” now.

Ginsburg should’ve retired 10 years ago, when Democrats had the senate.

Or Aunt Lydia 

Ideally, the nominee will also be about 27 years old so they can stay on the court for a solid 60 years if they want to.

Hey, it’s not like a 27-year-old is going to be less qualified than Rapey McBeerlover.

Ah, so the only thing that can screw up the Democrats in this process is Democrats.

If I remember my history correctly, Republicans changed the rules so that you can push a Supreme Court nomination through in one day. That’s why we have a rapist and a person who thinks you shouldn’t be able to get an abortion if you get raped on the team.

Michelle Obama, right?

Yup. I have deep Pennsyltucky gun-owning, deer-hunting relatives and they are ADAMANT about proper gun handling and storage. They also stick to rifles and handguns (no showoff AKs), obey all regulations, kill as quickly and cleanly as possible, track any animal they wound and use every possible part of the animals…

Probably yes, but I have a rule for myself re: problematic content/creators - if I just can’t give it up, I look at whatever I’m spending on it and donate an equal portion to a charity that combats the problematic issue. So, for the Harry Potter game I play on my phone, I donate to the Trevor Project or the Ali Forney…
