Congress won’t allow it. The GOP knows they’re going to be finished in 2018, so they’re doing all they can to screw everything up until 2018. Then the Democrats will have to fix things, and since that will take time, people will start to get annoyed with the Democrats for not “instantly” fixing the problems, and…

The four boxes supporting freedom in the US are the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box, and they should be used in that order; we haven’t gotten down to the box of last resort yet.

One thing is having suicidal thoughts and another thing is having a killing frenzy and then hope being killed because you do not want take responsibility of what you did.

I had that very thing in mind when I posted that comment. You know, if she does have synesthesia, maybe we shouldn’t be picking on her. She’s the real victim here.

Maybe she can hear color.

Also, re: “all of a sudden, I can’t use it.”

“Cow down”? Is that some new yoga position? Or a veterinary emergency, as in “911! Cow down! Cow down!”

It doesn’t get much better than that gif so I’m going with this

It sold out immediately, and with good reason—what better way to spend an evening than with Gal Gadot, a vat of rosé and a blissfully penis-free environment?

White Supremacists never look supreme. You look at em and wonder how they are so deluded as to their own superiority.

I gotta be honest, I’d run too. I can’t imagine being frightened by someone verbally assaulting me and then watching that person murder two people, but if there was ever a point where the flight instinct kicks in it’s probably that moment. I’d go back or go to a police station to give a statement but then again, I’m…

Actually, studies show that presidents, on average, fulfill nearly 70% of their campaign promises.

This entire Saudi trip is so bizarre and emblematic of everything that’s wrong with both the US and the Arab world: 

Top Google search: antidote + polonium

Agreed. Let’s eat the motherfucker.

EH. The ACA was passed the same way. What is amusing/annoying is the GOP was very loud at condemning the way the ACA was passed and is doing the same shit with their 2 health bills.

But again it was relatively modest as these bills go, we’re talking a couple hundred pages as opposed to a couple thousand.

This is actually a dumb criticism whenever it’s brought up. Asking a legislator to read every part of every bill is like asking a software development team lead to personally review every line of code their team writes. It’s a pointless exercise and fundamentally misunderstands how things work. Legislators should be…

It pays to remember that a lot of ideas about censorship were encoded into law at a time when a speech in front of a crowd was just about the only way to get your message to more than a dozen or so people at the same time.

Cancelling a speech used to mean a lot more than it does today, when the speaker can instead…

Having an informal debate with a klansman about whether you’re fully human is different from inviting a klansman to give a talk at a prestigious university while POC hold signs outside saying “we’re human.” In the first case, I’m assuming everyone involved chose to be there and had an equal part in the conversation.…
