And yet they’d rather defend him just in case they ever decide to do something fucked up in the future than get rid of him and decrease the likelihood that their actions will be interpreted as fucked up in the future. Seems smart.

I still don’t understand why no one is talking about her outfit. there’s two layers of visible illusion netting - one up around the top of the bodysuit and another below her boobs. WHY?!

loyalty goes both ways. Somewhere along the line we decided companies have no responsibility to be loyal, but employees still do. Same as with the housing crisis - a bank taking your house as stipulated in the contract is fine, but you walking away from an underwater mortgage losing both your entire investment and…

You know what, I’m happy to agree that they’re 100% right and the rest of us all deserve to be murdered horribly somehow. Because who even cares? Congrats, they’re smarter than the rest of us. Let’s kiss their asses and figure out what to do next.

Thank you for your sanity.

Stick to the comics and the crossword.

People keep pointing to Scandinavian countries as examples of functioning Socialist-tinged Democracies and I keep pointing out they’re all tiny and homogeneous as fuck.... /:

Yeah. We’re basically the Roman Empire circa 300AD. Except we’re our own Goths.

ETA: And yet, I still vote. Every election, even if it’s just 9 judges running unopposed. I’m clearly a masochist.

Oh, it’s not a solution. It’s just a recognition that we’re 100% totally doomed and that those of us who’ve noticed are Cassandra shouting warnings that will be ignored and then eventually blamed on us.

Yes, but democrats abandon their leaders for playing politics, whilst republicans laud them.

because 40 years of fickle behavior and abandonment from a coalition voting block with wildly shifting priorities has trained them to be.

The problem really is that the system isn’t designed for 300,000,000+ people spread out over ~4million miles, with wildly different priorities and cultures. It was barely designed for 13 colonies.

My apathy comes from being yelled at repeatedly times by the people who lack the privileges I enjoy for trying to help them and/or by others with privilege who lack the attention span for anything more than instant gratification of their specific pet priorities.

It’s too bad I can’t stay that way. It’s like I’m in an…

One of my good friends from college is an extremely liberal Mormon (he’s an outspoken advocate for the ordination of women, for example) and he pointed out that while McMullin has tweeted vehemently against Trump, he has been mum on the decision of the Choir to perform at the inauguration. McMullin may be his own man…

Not to change the subject, because the whole concept is fucked up as hell, but the Coney Island sideshow preemies always fascinated me.

OK so this outs me a little bit - but I’ve seen BNL live enough times that One Week is my “bathroom break” song, so this has been going around my fbook feed the past few days. It’s so painful.

That flabbergasted me. Yeah, they forgave him and also he was convicted and is going to fucking jail moron. They didn’t forgive him and let him keep his job/life.

Sending racist and/or pornographic emails. And because it wasn’t until the latest election that more liberals were elected to the BOE.

That’s not racism, that’s persecution of Christianity.
