I like your ‘ban alcohol’ post better, seemed like you committed more in that comment than this one. You gotta sell the horseshit in order to make people buy it. 4/10 wouldn’t read again. 

Outside of the state, Pittsburgh and its inner suburbs aren’t thought of as hick—it’s the rest of Western Pennsylvania that is.

The mayor of Pittsburgh, Bill Peduto, also put out a really wonderful statement expressing his hard intention for Pittsburgh to be a sanctuary city. I know a lot of you think we’re backwards hicks here but Pittsburgh is really trying.

I love all these mayors coming out in support, but I have to admit I wondered: what will they do if it comes to the point of military intervention? After the past 5 days I don’t put anything past Cheetolini and his orange brigade.

Jew, reporting in! Guess who has two thumbs, a futon, and endless empathy for a refugee narrative? *this mensch*

You’re really giving him a lot of credit by suggesting anything he’s doing is part of anything even remotely resembling a plan.

I’d be willing to give Trump voters a pass for $450/each, but it’s all or nothing. If anyone skips out, no deal.

I think you’ve described their thinking very well. I also think, well, this:

Shall we stop clicking here for the next four years

Shall we stop clicking here for the next four years, since we know we will only get the same hate rephrased every time? That’s my plan.

Yeah, the problem is just that people “don’t like” Trump. Yup.

Yeah, you’re right, now that we’ve made our personal distaste for our new authoritarian white-nationalist government clear, we should stop covering it while it willfully dismantles the nation.

Every so often they run a deal where they only cost $0.99, but they still honor the $4.99 credit for first use, so it essentially becomes a $4 coupon. Once you use them once and get the credit, you can hack them into something if not more useful, then at least more fun. http://www.dashbuttondudes.com/blog/2015/12/11/…

I understand most. It takes a certain kind of person look past all of Trump’s bigotry, misogyny, conflicts of interest, narcissism, lies, etc. My previous analogy is that it’s like being best friends with a nazi. Sure you might not be one, but the fact that a nazi is your best friend speaks volumes about you. I’d…

So the price of acceptance of voting for a bigot is $450?

I’m all for rich Trump supporters to throw around money while desperately telling everyone they meet that they’re not racist. I get the impulse, and the $450 is crazy generous. But saying the equivalent of, “Oh, you’re one of the good ones. Here’s some money.” still seems off putting.

See, it seems petty... But also it’s a basic fucking litmus test too. “Can you, when pressed by the United States Congress, speak the literal truth? Or are you a deluded lunatic 100% of the time?”

I mean, I can see where he’s going with it in his follow-up.

This is some petty shit and I am living for it.

Thank you for this. A woman isn’t lacking in agency just because she’s making decisions you don’t agree with. I might concede that she’s in over her head, but to cast her as someone so blank that she can’t muster up the power to make her own decisions is a disservice to both her, and other women like her. Just because…
