It’s amazing to me how quickly the “mainstream media” has normalized this shit. Not even two weeks after the election, and still months before he’s sworn in, and fucking CNN is already waffling on whether it’s really fair to expect the leader of the free world to alienate his base by confirming that he doesn’t think…

This is a distraction.

The best part of these letters is that, for the most part, they serve to show how deeply our public servants care about the cause for which they serve. These people are speaking anonymously and thus have little reason to lie, and what I get from reading these pieces is the terror that Trump will undo the work they’ve…

I wish more people were aware of how many progressive religious options there are out there. When denominations like the Episcopalians see decline, it sends a sad message to denominations trying to decide where to stand on gay marriage and other issues (like my Methodists).

his supporters won’t care. thats the sick thing, they will never fucking care. they kept a bitch out of office.

This is what kills me about the idea that we should election “non-politicians” to public office of any kind - and this is an idea that comes from both sides of the isle.

Apart from all the other things wrong with it, this shows how little Trump thinks about his alleged beliefs. (I don’t think he actually cares about abortion, beyond knowing he has to say he opposes it to run as a republican. For one thing, he’s mentioned asking Marla Maples if she wanted to “do something” about the…

This man is dangerously ill-prepared and ill-suited for this job. Dangerously. And his vice president is dangerously and uniquely prepared to actively hurt us all. Dangerously.

Abortions have been legal in the US for 40 years, yet pro-lifers still protest it daily. At the same time, these people want us to stop protesting a fucking election less than a week after it’s happened. Fuck this bullshit, they can handle us protesting this man and his actions and everyone who voted for him for at…

Had to share this one with you Jezzies. Observe the pissed Weasley cousin in the top photo. I had a tough week personally in addition to election depression (my ex sent me a really awful message telling me he wished I would die and I have people I thought were friends on his side) so this silliness is appreciated.

I love you.

We are all Little Miss Flint.

Since our resident lyricist arewemenoramidevo appears to have dismissed my response to a comment she left about my Debbie Downer gif — in lyrics, natch — I’m reposting my response to her to you instead (not sure why she can dish it but not take it):

this. i suspended my facebook account indefinitely because i couldn’t stop myself from freaking out on all the people who spent the last six months being so AGONIZED by their choices because a competent experienced liberal politician is TOTES the same as an actual fascist reality tv star. then when the nazi cheeto…

Please don’t leave out how Bernie supporters treated anyone who didn’t share their line of thinking. Up until the DNC nomination, I was called a cunt and a shill, I was told I had no idea how politics work, even though I have been following it since Bill Clinton first ran, and I have a bachelors in History (so I’m not…

This morning I was reading about the protests across the country and those that are being organized. Some of the protest leaders admitted they voted third party or not at all. I was thinking, should we stage a mini-protest within a protest against you!? I still can’t face a couple of friends who were rabidly against…

It means a lot that she covered the often left out verses from the Cohen version instead of the more popular Buckley version. I was pleasantly surprised, especially since she wasn’t going for romantic with the song and instead facing defeat with grace.

“We ran a candidate whom everyone hates...” is untrue, but I’ve decided that the Dems should choose their next candidate SOLELY on the basis of “is s/he likeable?” because that’s obviously the most important factor to voters. Someone needs to buy the domains jenniferlawrence2020.org and georgeclooney2020.org.

I’ve seen a lot of, “Now you know what we felt like when Obama won” (also one deeply bizarre “I personally would point and laugh if Trump supporters were peacefully protesting, therefore it is by definition impossible for anyone to protest Trump in any way without being a hypocrite”), which is just another window into…
