Okay, you're right. People didn't vote for Trump because of racism. They just voted for Trump, the racist.

So, the article establishes that he frequently vetoed legislation passed by Massachusetts Democrats. Why did he decide not to veto this legislation? And why did he frequently defend the legislation after the fact, often at the same time he criticized Obamacare? To dismiss the idea that this was not, at least partly,…

This only makes sense if you assume the same people who voted in 2012 also voted in 2016 in those counties. While it would be facile to say that Trump won only because of racism, it would similarly be silly to dismiss the idea that a crude racist demagogue being elected to the presidency has nothing to do with the…

You know that, as governor, he could have vetoed it, right? And that he has defended the plan ever since its implementation?

I went to GW too. There's a plaque on the second floor of the library commemorating his matriculation there (paid for by the Church of Scientology, of course). I was always a little embarrassed whenever I walked by it.

China. Russia is a house of cards designed by a krokodil-addicted Internet troll.

Can we talk about Nico's solo albums? Most of them, especially Desertshore and The Marble Index, are wild rides.

Monumental. Monumental. Monumental. No album has changed my life more.

Is she the Huckabee offspring who choked a dog to death? I forget.

I know him better as Tommy Carcetti (aka Martin O'Malley)

His father being a public supporter of the KKK probably affected how he was raised too.

I'm sure there are a few more despicable sins than alleging racism. Murder, for one. Not replacing the toilet paper once you've finished the roll is another.

It can only be a leap of faith if you have doubt about what is on the other side of the gap. I don't think religious fundamentalists doubt; they stride right to other side, confident that a bridge will guide them to the paradise on the other side.

I have a sneaking suspicion he might not have as big a penis as he claims.

Nixon was a self-made man of intellectual integrity who came from nothing in Yorba Linda, a Navy veteran, and had a decade and a half of experience when he was elected to the presidency (with a popular vote plurality). Trump, on the other hand, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has been failing upwards his…

I agree. That's why I think assholes like the members of ISIS or Mike Pence lack faith. Their worldview lacks mystery: they "know" that God exists. When you find grace in God, see the unfathomably sublime, accept that you will never understand its strange ontology: that's faith. Thinking the Earth is 6000 years old is…

That's faith, man. You know it's stupid, but you believe in it anyway. It's beautiful in its way, I think. Flat-earthers, well, they're just dumb.

That seems like a waste of food. Send them my way instead! Fried, they taste like calamari.

"Grab 'em by the (dead) pussy."

No, but they apparently disqualify him from public office.
