It is true. Gainesville is hard-core lefty in a sea of banjo country. Antifa won’t need to show up, they are already there.

My theory is that Hillary Clinton was once the Secretary of State so Trump hates it like all things Obama. Plus Bannon’s motivation was to destroy the US Government, burn it down to the ground and he has been whispering in Trumps ear for over a year.

I don’t think you’re quite right here. His destruction of the State Department isn’t an attempt to remake the world in his own image. He’s punishing Hillary. Her time as Sec. of State, and the foreign policy experience that entailed, was one of her primary selling points. So, as soon as he’s inaugurated, he fires the…

One thing republicans are good at is attacking someone until regular people decide to hate them. They spent 20+ years doing it to Hillary and it worked like a charm and got Trump elected.

I know I can always take solace in The Onion and Pete Souza’s continuing demonstrations of how warm and caring a man Barack Obama was as president. Those quiet moments where he plays with kids with wholeheartedl glee still wreck me. I also adore The Onion’s coverage of Joe Biden as a buck-wild motherfucker, washing…

If anything Gainesville will be bringing the black masks. Alachua is an island of blue surrounded by a sea of red deep south counties. They’re worried about what the liberal locals will do when the KKK show up, and the threat to their students and disruption of classes.

I will always star this. Always.

Did someone say Richard Spencer?

Okay but until that can actually be demonstrated, it’s still not *proven* that Weinstein DID those things and actually WAS influential enough to earn all these anguished think pieces. His donations to either PACS or the party itself wasn’t substantial past about 2011.

As someone already pointed out earlier in the thread Weinstein only donated $30k in 2016. Meanwhile we’re already talking about a Pence presidency being fully owned by the Koch Brothers...

Not really, since that’s presuming that they were paying attention to the behavior of a single donor who didn’t even contribute that much. If there were people even within Hollywood who didn’t know, why are we assuming the Democrats were paying attention to rumors from a completely different industry, for a person…

This column is why liberals, democrats, progressives, leftist and greens lose. It accepts the enemies framing as reality, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Over a million dollars? So, quite possibly less then two million? When the Koch brothers have allocated an approximate 889 million, in their deranged mission to create dystopia? Advocating less social spending, less health care for poor Americans, less control of pollution, more fossil fuel investment while…

I really don’t get the intense focus on Harvey Weinstein by anyone outside of Republicans (and they’re only focusing on him to try to divert from their own embrace of sexual predators within their party.) Weinstein didn’t seem to have much to any political clout when it came to steering policy within the Party, and…

Men are disgusting trash no matter who they give money to? Wannabe cool girls like Joanna will keep running with this Fox News narrative despite the fact that it comes from an organisation built on sexual harassment.

Harvey isn’t the first or the last sexual predator to give to any political party. I do think it’s possible politicians didn’t know. Unlike republicans with trump they didn’t try to make excuses for Harvey.

What Should We Make of Hollywood and Democrats’ Twisted Friendship?

I got up early for some reason, and wound up having enough time to watch the special. And it was really affirming to watch, because it made me realize something I’d always loved about Patton’s work, which was always there: his joy when he performs is so palpable. Lots of comics show that they BELONG on stage, or that…

I used to have a quote from the educator/activist Jonathan Kozol above my desk that said something to the effect of “charity is no replacement for justice”. I think about that often in appeals for disaster relief.

I got to the quarter finals in college Jeopardy.
