I wonder how Cruz would respond to states that wanted to ban men from voting or owning property or driving.

Many of the events under his presidency may have been inevitable but the way he’s reacted to them has frankly been the embodiment “we weren’t expecting much but fucking hell”.

Headline sub is wrong, wrong, wrong. They aren’t ADDING 20 GOP districts. They are changing the makeup of existing districts to have 20 GOP safe seats. They already have a 16-11 advantage. This new map changes the math to 20-8 (because they added 1 overall).

If only there were places for people to have fun driving their cars really fast that didn’t seriously endanger unwitting civilians on public roads. IF ONLY.

Can we as car enthusiasts please stop legitimizing this practice and the knobs who participate? 

Am I the only one that has no real problem with a candidate lacking policy specifics in April 2019?

But we currently inhabit the world where servers and other folks are not paid a decent wage, so...tip.

That might be an active part of NBC’s strategy. Put all of her shows on youtube, monetize from there, maybe hope some people us the NBC app, and maybe watch other shows once they’re using said app. Any Nielsen ratings they get at 1:30am are a bonus. 

I was pretty inspired by her campaign too. But I’m glad she’s sitting this out because I wouldn’t wish all the crap she got (from both the far right and the far left) on my worst enemy.

When I first heard the story my initial reaction was that it sounded exactly like what someone in Hollywood thinks a hate crime looks like, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the…

I don’t understand the narrative that people doubted this team could win. I don’t think anyone doubted that. I think far more people were resigned to that fact, disgusted by the inevitability, but no one doubted it.

VALERIE SEBESTYEN: Do you follow numerology at all?

You realize the climate threat is on par with what Lincoln and FDR did? Like there aren’t equal because they’re all different, but in terms of scope and necessity, the New Green Deal is vitally important.

My father, who is 78 and a Bill Buckley-style Republican, gets his coffee at a shop with a trans man working the register. My dad manages to call this man by his (masculine) name or “Sir” every morning. He has said he, “doesn’t really get it” but then he shrugs because why would he care? What’s it to him or Vlaming…

How does giving money to scams “weedout the stupid from the population?” 

Stop giving this stupid practice credence.
