The US is situated about 7500 miles from Iran. Iran has never directly attacked the US. The Shah was not a US “ally”, he was put in place by CIA facilitated coup that overthrew the elected government. He was a murderous ruler who tracked and killed people around the world as well as in his country. He was put in…

The “God given rights” thing always cracks me up.

I think a lot of people banked so hard on faith that the systems of checks and balances work that they are dumfounded when they aren’t because it requires actual effort by those in power. People have become complacent that the systems and rules just work and don’t become civically engaged and thus it allows the shit…

You'd have to be a moron to believe Trump or vote for him. So, yeah, we're fucked because his minions now think Antifa is going to March on Washington. 

Given the average American’s understanding of basic Civics concepts—or their understanding of the founding documents they swathe themselves in (having had to memorize the Preamble in eighth grade doesn’t count as having read the entirety of the founding documents, folks)—it follows that Trump’s using the “if the…

A white woman walked into a Black man’s apartment while he was sitting on the couch eating ice cream watching TV in his underwear and shot him, and I am relieved that she was actually found guilty.

I’m confused.....

When will the Black cops learn? When they say blue lives matter they aren’t talking about the dark blue ones.

It is there to remind us that after Trump,Bill Barr is the next person who should face impeachment.

I wouldn’t say Boris knows exactly what he’s doing. Yes he is aware of his malicious intentions and isn’t just meandering aimlessly based on what is in front of him in the present moment, but the crucial fact remains that he is in wayyyy over his head.

The difference between Boris and Trump is that Boris knows exactly what he’s doing.

Well, NOW I don’t want that cup of tea, but... thanks, Boris?

His supporters clearly have no idea what a coup even is.

They would feel the same if we won a legal and above-the-board election.  Their brains have been eaten by the Cult of Trump, such that if Trump fails, it must be a conspiracy against him.  He broke our politics and brainwashed his deplorables, such that a peaceful transition of power was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY.

They’re going to call it a coup if he loses in 2020. They’ve already convinced themselves everyone outside the media supports him and thus he can’t lose without massive voter fraud.

Yeah, they will think that if he loses in 2020, hell, they will think that if he wins and is term-limited from running in 2024. 

Donald Trump still can’t comprehend how Obama earned a Nobel Peace Prize.

Lewis cited being “deeply concerned about the future of our democracy”

This, and also: What if the GOP sticking together on Trump could be used to, I dunno, fire up the base in Senate races across the country in 2020?

Boris Johnson doesn’t care if his prorogation was unlawful, it was simply a means of avoiding debate and killing time before the UK goes over the no-deal Brexit cliff.
