I mean, I’m not sure her ability to ‘get away with it’ is down to any sort of talent. She can lie blatantly and keep her job because Trump supporters literally don’t believe in facts anymore and will accept any sort of behaviour as long as it pisses off libtards. She’s certainly an opportunist in the right place at…

We are in the ‘golden age’ of political scandal. It is almost too much to process. I blame the ‘deep state’. 

Looks more like the type of employee that gets fired from a farm for having sex with the animals.

Steve King makes it easy to make good choices, because all you have to do is ask yourself, What would Steve King do? and then just do the opposite. So for that I thank him, I guess?

Well I agree that this is a scary bill but privacy issues exist in state-run systems as well. For instance here in Denmark having a history of treatment for mental illness can prevent you from getting jobs, or a driver’s license. I just always feel the need to pipe in when people start to sound a little too…

This shit is hilarious. Affordable health insurance only for people who are genetically inclined to being healthy. Hey! I have a thing that you can pay money for every month but will likely not need and you totally won’t be putting any of that money towards helping people who ACTUALLY need it! Fuck those people, they…

Every time there is a crime against a Sikh it should be investigated as a stupidity crime. The perp should get extra prison time as well as mandatory junior high social studies classes.

“All that people care about is the look. 70% of what people react to is the look. 20% is how you sound, 10% is what you say. So if you look and sound good - Big mouth. The eyes. Use the hand. And keep confirming and denying things. Everyone will go wild!”

Elizabeth Warren shut up and rolled over in the course of trying to prevent Jeff Sessions from being confirmed. I still give her credit for trying even though she ultimately failed. Both of these women were silenced by powers higher on the food chain than them.

It’s dictator chic.

yes... Bernie didn’t seem to have much of a command on the issues, although he had great messaging, and Hillary was as knowable as they come. Bernie’s apparent lack of knowledge and seeming lack of interest in building that knowledge truly worried me. Hillary was also a voice for women and children before it was…

but, but … doesn’t the idea of him just seem calmer?

Trump isn’t trying to be a dictator, it just comes to him naturally!

God, remember back when we all thought she was just the battiest goddamned thing to ever come out of politics, and how it was amazing someone that unprepared for office was anywhere even near the presidency?

I don’t believe there’s a current “Son of Sam” federal law - the original was struck down as being un-Constitutional. A few states do have variants of the law, which basically allows time for the victims to intercede and sue. Not sure if Chelsea would have an apparent “victim” in her case though.

It’s easy to forget just how pervasive that feeling of existential dread was during the Cold War (or, for people born after about 1980, to have never known it at all).

I remember having a vague feeling of unease everytime a thunderstorm knocked the power out, because maybe that was an EMP?

Then more recently I read…

I mean, if it’s not a Muslim ban but it’s also not a terrorist ban (since the number of terrorists coming to the US from those countries is Nada), then what kind of a ban is it? A pandering to the uninformed ban? A dick swinging ban? A Steve Bannon ban? A pre impeachment ban?

Except that the order also completely bars entry to those with green cards, with already-issued Visas, and even things like UK citizens with dual citizenship in the effected countries.
