Look, I regularly deal with rich people. These are not rich people. These are people who are trying to look like what they think rich people look like based upon “The Young and the Restless.”

I just had this conversation with my husband. We are left coast liberal ‘elites’ (him with a high school education, me a lowly civil servant, but you know) and his sister is a deeply committed Trumpster former Tea Party knucklehead. He extends to her tremendous compassion and empathy, and I used to simply avoid…

I’ll never understand these fuckers. What is to be gained by denying the death of kids in this manner. There are millions of people who believe - no, KNOW this actually happened and yet nothing was done to make sure it won’t happen again. Why do they even need a conspiracy theory? What’s to be gained?

I want to be her friend.

It’s in the other side’s pecuniary and political interest to go with Trump, at least for now.

Yeah, I’m kind of raging since we learned Obama tried to get the Republicans to do a joint statement. I feel like we try to do the right thing and the other side doesn’t give shit. I’m looking for the line where I still keep my dignity but I can also throw down in the dirt and kick some ass.

Ya boy said it on the news. U mad, snowflake?

I’m actually an Iraq War veteran.

I assume that means “It’s OK if you’re a Russian”

Nancy Mack is just living out all of my deepest fantasies right now.

Lest we forget, the non-stop barrage of death threats against The Dixie Chicks required them to have a 24/7 FBI security detail for months.

 Nancy Mack, the wife of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith allegedly attacked him outside of an elementary school function because he’s a Trump supporter.

The pregnancy scare that I had in my thirties, as a mother, was the scariest. Now that I know what it entails I’m even more pro-choice

I’m guessing (no judgment) that you’re pretty young. I’m 45, grew up an Army brat and lived in Berlin from 79-82 when the wall was still up. Not until ‘89 when the Wall finally came down and we won the Cold War did I not have a nightmare every night about a nuclear war. But at least at the time I trusted our leaders…

Crippling depression and existential dread! 10 years running!

There’s a reason big cities are pricey and small towns are not.

I think the best thing you can do for your kids is not let them watch commercial TV (just public TV with no commercials). Then they don’t see all the crap that’s advertised and aren’t always bugging for it.

Do you think that our futures are not inextricably linked? We watched the election with great worry because your policies and politicians affect us intimately. We are massive trading partners and share an incredibly long border.
