I hate this prevailing argument from Sanders most diehard supporters is that somehow the candidate who beat “their guy” by more than 3 million votes and her general election opponent by another 2.8 million was somehow the inferior candidate of the three.

Russia isn’t paying them anymore.

Oh fucking fuck me. Fuck this. Fuck Trump. Fuck anyone who voted for him. I don’t give a shit if you like to hear it, Trump voters. You just steered our country directly toward the pits of hell, and if your feelings are hurt by me telling you that, good. Maybe you will think next time you vote instead of pulling the

I just want to confirm as a minnesotan, a place where we have sizable Somali and Ethiopian populations, it’s a real possibility that the cab driver was Ethiopian. her story is awful either way, but it would put a different angle on it.

It’s both. It is Reagan. When I get in a cab, I tell them Reagan because regardless of how I feel about the man, I’m not making a great play by calling the airport by it’s old name. I think it’s liberal pretension or “who’s the newcomer” snobbery most of the time when people refuse to say Reagan.

Trump stays during the Rapture, dude is as dirty as they get, shit I am sure the devil is already melting a special pot of gold for Commander-in-Cheetos to boil in.

Oh god, think about how great it would be if all those people suddenly disappeared.

You know what’s great? How neither India nor Pakistan have nuclear weapons and itchy trigger fingers.

Except that if you read the transcripts of the interviews Trump gave to the New York Times and Washington Post, they sound exactly the same—as though someone had run them through Google Translate.

“Muslim” is not a language...

Except that he is, in effect, changing US foreign policy in a region where there are nukes at play, and he didn’t know it—nor does he have any interest in learning about it. If he did, he would have had more than three (3!) intel briefings by now.

ADJECTIVES-ONLY* VERSION:

Pakistanis are one of the most intelligent people...a fantastic country, fantastic place of fantastic people.

Is it just me or does Trump’s wording sound like a Nigerian scam email?

So that’s what it looks like when you hurriedly jot stuff down in Urdu and force it through Babblefish.

I think you nailed part of the problem, but most people can’t afford to be conscious consumers. We’ve created a negative feedback loop where we don’t pay people enough to shop outside of Wal-Mart, who uses their leverage to keep wages low in their stores, pressure to vendors to keep costs down who then suppress their

I agree but as a consumer... do we fault the low-income person who has to shop at Walmart or big Walmart CEO’s who pay crap wages.

Um, well, I guess I disagree that buying clothes from the salvation army would solve anything, mostly because 1) it’s still prioritizing cheap clothing and 2) the clothing at the Army comes from somewhere, which means you still have consumers buying and tossing cheap clothes. Check out John Oliver’s segment on

Well, and isn’t there also a third dimension, where common, every day people who may not work in the industry but consume things created by the industry also look the other way because cheap is always better? (Thus business managers pressure contractors because they want to be able to win the bid from a consumer who

I like the way you distinguish between sins of commission and sins of omission. Those two groups of sinners need each other to game the system, and each can blame the other for creating conditions of systemic injustice.
