They really are, aren’t they? I find myself muttering that a dozen times a day. Goodness, I hate them so.

Kennedy has indicated willingness to rule against gerrymandering. The case coming out of Wisconsin provides almost exactly the thing he’s been waiting to see: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2016/11/22/wisconsin_partisan_gerrymander_the_supreme_court_could_take_the_case.html

I mean what should we expect from the party of “I’ve got mine so fuck you”? A party that has spent decades screaming about how government doesn’t work while doing everything they can to make sure it can’t work? They’ll fall into lockstep—it’s easy to be disciplined when you have no morals or priorities beyond…

I realize that our Shitbag president-elect is like some kind of anti-Leibniz, constantly demonstrating that we live in the worst of all possible worlds, but this actually pisses me off more than a lot of the other, more patently ludicrous picks. I mean, after the ENDLESS email bullshit, they want the guy who actually…

We need to learn our lesson and do more to save the white male! What fools we’ve been!

I’ve also basically disengaged aside from a ten minute dipping-in-of-the-toe a day. I’ve taken to reading a lot of fiction, or highly technical articles related to some of my hobbies. Oh! I’ve also gotten back into painting. I guess my point is: there is a world elsewhere. Take care of yourself.

I feel like I’m on a list now because of that google image search. A cursory glance basically had me doing my best impression of the wide-eyed emoji.

I also think people in the entertainment industry are more likely to be propped up instead of treated since there’s such a financial interest in keeping them going.

Yeah I just said to my friend that I’d like to congratulate everyone who voted republican on supporting the actual Nazis. Now it’s not hyperbole! They’re right there, heil-ing Trump and doing their little salute and arguing about whether Jews are people. Right there! That’s your team, assholes!

Yeah there was art that Stalin liked. He was familiar enough with artists to cancel their careers.

Yeah “Republicans” and “Moral courage” don’t exactly go hand in hand.

That’s what my rich Manhattan mom friend said. He goes to a special school and it’d be highly disruptive to move him.

I guess I’m having a hard time reconciling the idea that America is worth it with the fact that 60 million people voted for a fascist. Maybe this country reallly isn’t what we thought it was. Maybe this country is just evil.

Hey on the plus side, you’re not American!

I don’t think you’re being hysterical at all. I agree with you 100%.

We’ll see. But the jump from “reasonable” to “willing to stand up to one’s own party” is a big one. And Rubio has shown himself to be an enormous coward. The other three...I suppose it’s within the realm of possibility, but I’m not feeling optimistic these days.

Definitely read that as “Trump Vows to Deport and Incinerate Up to Three Million Undocumented People Upon Assuming Office.”

Or a hedgerow! It turns out he was just being adorable!

Yeah I don’t think due process is in the offing. You do it with camps and cattle cars. Hell, he spoke glowingly about Operation: Wetback.

You’re banking on a Republican official showing moral fiber? That hasn’t happened in...an extremely long time.
