So these are the 52% of white women who voted for Trump? Can we just remove their right to vote, since their clearly don’t need, or want it? They can just leave all the choices up to their brave, strong, rich men who like to watch football. These ladies forgot that someone had to fight for their rights and I think it…

“Look ladies - supporting Trump is what we DO in our community. Along with skinny lattes, spray tans, lash extensions, Botox, spinning class, Jesus and #soblessed posts on Facebook.”

He wants to be dazzling, he wants to be rainbow high.

This is yet another reminder that having a child does not suddenly make you an expert on literally anything, and that the act of birth is something that literally billions upon billions of people around the world, both very smart and incredibly fucking dumb, have done throughout millenia.

When I say I want to live the 50's life, what I really mean is I want the choice to be a stay-at-home-mom (can’t today, we need two incomes to barely keep afloat) with the spending power of the 50's dollar, the sense of community in my neighborhood, and 1950's cars and fashion. I want everything else to be first term…

In all seriousness, the actions of the Trunp admin only start making sense to me if I apply the logic of a cruel and not-that-bright middle school bully. It’s not some secret brilliance or radical new agenda - it’s a bully speaking in Bullyspeak. He employs casual cruelty and sexism/racism at a whim, has no real…

This idea....holds water?

Then my best bet would be to move back home, to my swing state, where my vote actually matters.

I don’t blame you, but as long as you elect your president by an electoral college instead of popular vote, that line of thinking is only going to make it easier for populists and nationalists to take over your country.

The president’s asinine tweets are the perfect cover as they are both sensational and largely inconsequential.

Dear right wing: the reason we have so many ‘burdensome’ regulations placed on business is illustrated right here. We enacted regulations because in so many cases (not necessarily this) we’ve already seen what business will get up to when left to regulate itself, and it ain’t pretty.

I have worked in prisons and jails. I have been a victim of assault and a few other crimes. I think our prisons are terrible and we need to addresss the reasons people end up committing felonies in the first place. We have a responsibility with a popularly elected government to have that government provide certain…

I hope this is a step to outlawing this perversion of justice.

Okay, so... That was a weird time to have a rant at a joke.

Most of my family and friends in the U.S. (all Indian) are extremely educated professionals: a post-doc research scientist, many are E.R. doctors, surgeons, a former government advisor economist, etc. I wonder how many of them took those highly skilled jobs away from Trump supporters like this:

My deep concern is that Trump (or at least his team) knows this recursive tendency and exploits it to distract his supporters and casual observers from the real issue — his Russian entanglements. I think his press conference last week, the declaration of War Against the Media, the fights over “voter fraud” and crowd…

There were were plenty of people doing actual work for Netscape and the lot as well. Doesn’t mean that house of cards didn’t deserve to fall after being puffed up by so much hot air. Computer engineers need to organize as a labor force if only to draw down the pool of people willing to work absurd hours for a vague…

You and I have a very different idea of actual work. You know who’s doing actual work? Plumbers, electricians, and shop techs. Everything else is bougie window dressing. Eat me.

There is a culture of collusion between boards of directors (often CEOs or former CEOs of other companies) and top management to make sure everyone gets lots of money COMPLETELY REGARDLESS of how the company performs. This is not wild-eyed imaginings, it is fact. Plenty of CEOs have driven companies into the ground…
