so much this. the choice was between a racist, misogynist, pedophile and a democrat and instead they write in mickey mouse? why even show up to the polls.

“We need people to stop thinking of their political party as an identity/sports team.” Excellent point. 

That’s what I was going to say. I would add that in an election that seemed so close even though the choice was between a child molesting bible thumper and a man who got murderous Klan members put in jail, it’s shameful that voters were writing in joke candidates instead of doing their duty responsibly.

I would like to meet the ones that wrote in a variant of “a different Republican” so I could try to slap some sense into them. God forbid that they even briefly consider voting for a Democrat instead of the Republican that I assume horrifies them so much.

These write in ballots epitomize everything wrong with our system. These jerks are acting like there was no choice. There was. They’re just so brainwashed into a slavish devotion to the political party that they can’t accept voting for a person from another party, even when the representative from their party is a…

When this hate mongering, lady-fearing Race Bannon lookalike is on Meet the Press, or in front of a microphone in general, why doesn’t some enterprising journalist ask him about the dire societal collapse that he and his ilk predicted, due to same-sex marriage?

The lipstick drawing is bizarre. Like wtf was that supposed to do?

Well, gosh. He couldn’t have just injured his wife. He could’ve also injured someone like a cop that would have actually gotten him sent to prison for life. I am at the end of my rope with DV cases. If men did what they did to their intimate female partners to strangers, they would face serious penalties- no question,…

I came here to say the same thing. The police and the caller are both criminally liable. If a man answers the door peacefully and is then exexuted, that is terrible police recruiting / training / practice. We now know from the Daniel Shaver case that police are eager to open fire, and treat civilian lives as…

“I didn’t get anyone killed”

“I didn’t get anyone killed because I didn’t discharge a weapon, and because...”

No.

Fuck you.

If you made that call, you are at fault, full stop.

It’s a fucking video game. Get your shit together and be a decent human being, or see yourself into the care of those who will prevent you from harming others over your tiny…

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

Dude, considering that “here’s former POTUS TrumpenFührer going ballistic on his Secret Service agent because he missed a putt” will get mega-ratings, the media doesn’t need you in office— just doing stupid stuff near a camera.  

Cause the media goes all tingly when someone mentions the media.

Why is everyone focused on this line, and not the one about how he as the absolute authority to do whatever he wants with the Justice Department? That got like 5 minutes at the start of every show last night after the story broke and then everyone switched over to his harmless/dumb ravings, rather than the actual…

He wants a government job because it allows him to enforce his views on others. A priest just stands in a church and tells willing people what the Bible says.

I like the way you think (math/turnout). Fortunately, they won’t have to rely on Republican apathy in the immediate future:

So how long before we see Republicans bussing in old white people to swing close elections? You know, keeping with the proud Republican tradition of accusing the Democrats of doing something nefarious before doing that very nefarious thing years later.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that the turnout for this special election was around 2/3rds of the Presidential election.

Senate pages are far too old for him.
