"EPA head just got confirmed today"
HR861: Bill to eliminate EPA introduced on Feb 3. Likelihood of passing: negligible. But Pruitt's appointment is not the only shot fired in that particular battle.

And is soon to be a TV series starring Elisabeth Moss. I presume in this version Offred summons her inner Peggy Olson and burns the place down.

Yet he's still upset about Democrats gaming the survey. I am trying to find the thing I read about this - will edit when I do.

Women aren't people, they're "hosts" according to an Oklahoma state senator. If he has his way, women won't be allowed to have an abortion without a man's say-so.

Thank you. I didn't think I remembered it from the film, but it's been ages since I saw it. Shame, because I'm sure there are actual Lockhart quotes one could use to shame Piers Morgan - or if not that character, then Lucius Malfoy, Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Umbridge, Rita Skeeter…

On the one hand, fuck Piers Morgan. On the other hand, fuck E.L. James. On the third hand, there's some lovely irony in the fact that she must be quoting the movie because Lockhart doesn't say that in the book.*

Fair enough, yeah.

You're right about Trump and I wish you were right about McCain, but that guy's gone on to back so many people who've stomped on him that one can't be sure of anything he'll do. Maybe his daughter, who hates Trump, will "push him to do the right thing" as DJT would say.

Really? I don't know much of anything about him, but the two things I've heard about Starbucks w/r/t employees is that they're given benefits (which you will never find in other coffee shops) and that the company made the deliberate choice to hire eligible refugees. I guess he's got good PR working for him.

We're thinking of the same people, and they hate Hillary. Just because she won't be in office for those four years won't stop them from bitching about how they just couldn't get off the couch to vote for a bad candidate, even though the person she was facing was infinitely worse.

God, is she really? I thought she was just having a difficult pregnancy, but maybe that explains why Portman looks ill in every picture lately.

You don't think those same self-identified liberals are going to spend those same four years saying the DNC should have run someone else and it's the Dems' fault Trump is in office? It'd be great if they could actually sing a different tune, but I think their range is pretty limited.

Spurned or spurred? They don't seem to have spurned it yet, although we live in hope.

I just remember the time his account got "hacked" and now wonder if it actually did or if that was part of the catfishing too. I suspect the latter. Some people have too much time on their hands.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

So I have heard. I was just thinking "iconoclast with inherent sense of style and musicality" but I'll have to go looking for it.

I think this was my favourite exchange on the topic: https://twitter.com/infinit…
