This is so fucking frustrating. The milquetoast support of Pelosi and Schumer & the rest of the Democratic establishment just is further evidence (in my mind) that they’re archaic & directly correlated with my frustration with ‘centrist’ politicians.

That ending with Jamie and Bran:

Callung her middle of the road here is generous

Her research, however, turned her assumptions on their end. As she started digging into people’s bankruptcy files, the “world slowly starts to shift for me, and I start to see these families as like mine—hard-working people who have built something, people who have done everything they were supposed to do the way they…

And yet, the same people that are vehemently against abortion are at the same time against birth control, and against things like the cervical cancer vaccine.

Never forget who shepherded the 2005 Bankruptcy bill through the Senate - and made sure credit card debts were non-dischargeable, as they previously had always been: JOE BIDEN (representing his biggest Delaware constituents: the banks and credit card issuers).

It’s a combination of thinking of themselves as a better people, such as a the woman who thinks “I waited until I was married before I sex, not like those weak sluts spreading their legs for every boyfriend.” and knowing that even though the clinic staff recognizes them as one of the “pro life” protesters outside,…

I did not know this and it gives me a different perspective on the whole claiming Native heritage thing. I found that to be surprising for a progressive Democrat even one from the Baby Boomer era. Learning she was a Republican at that time fills in a puzzle piece for me. That’s exactly who I expect to list themselves…

I respect anybody who grew up buried in the Just World Fallacy and who manages to walk away. Thinking you’re better/smarter/a harder worker than people who are suffering is a helluva drug. See: my entire family. (The only just bankruptcies are our bankruptcies! Other people are lazy and entitled! We just had bad luck!)

I didn’t know this about Warren, but it makes me like her even more. I am from Massachusetts and honestly didn’t really want her to run for President. I do really like her as my Senator, but I felt like she does an amazing job in the Senate and we need her there. But I’ve changed on this, and I’m glad she is in the…

Anti-choice is never about abortion itself, and it is not about fetuses. It is about control. It is about who owns women’s bodies - women, or the state. It is about power - and in that regard, those who oppose abortion are driven by the same force as those who rape: the need to dominate women.

These people piss me off so much, abortion isnt mentioned anywhere in the bible. It was practiced regularly by the early Christians and Jews as they believed you didnt get your soul until you took your first breath (like Adam). In fact there are more verses in the Bible supporting this then what Conservatives point to…

It doesn’t matter because rich white girls will still be able to get abortions so it will only be poor women and women of color who die. And Congress doesn’t care about those mortality rates. 

Yes, our wonderful Kentucky legislature is passing a slew of anti-abortion laws, including a heartbeat bill. Our governor cares SO much about children that he’s also gutting teacher pensions and public school funding and thinks kids should be out waiting for buses in below 0 degree temperatures not “being weak” by…

Because the rapist, who is a Kentuckian, as am I, and I reside in Tennessee, has paternity rights in Kentucky and Tennessee. I would’ve had to co-parent with my rapist.

That judge should have closed his mouth.

To me the Electrical Workers tweet really illustrates how frantic and nutty he’s become, his mind jumping all over the place in an increasing panic. The scuttlebutt is that Biden was on TV at that time and said something about electricians. Donald’s reflex was to immediately fire back, yelling at the TV through a…

What an eclectic mixture of the unhinged, derranged, psychotic, paranoid and the ignorant brought together for that pizzagate rally. It still boggles my mind that people can actually believe pizzagate was real and not see it for the easily disproven russian / republican backed misinformation that it is.

This disease has a name: TWFM

The World is For Me

Well, those people tend to be very sensitive to language that doesn’t conform to their politics and become immediately threatened when they hear it, so the media tends to walk on eggshells to avoid setting them off. If only there was a term for that
