I believe that infraction is known as DWH (driving while Hispanic)

These are rough times for earnest folks, my friend. I hope you’re taking care of your mental health, because this is a marathon, not a sprint. I try to laugh so I don’t cry...

What happened to republicans fighting against government overreach? I thought we supposed to be able to drown the whole thing in a bathtub...

ALL THE DYSTOPIAS

I think he’s only incidentally/accidentally funny, because he neither understands humor nor why his statements are absurd and terrifying if they’re not meant as jokes. These things require a basic understanding of the world and a modicum of self-awareness.

We’re gonna need some new synonyms for ‘Orwellian’ and ‘Kafkaesque’, because they’re getting worn out from use, and we’re only TWO WEEKS IN to this nightmare, yo.

Destroy his career! HA HA HA HA! Jokes!

That’s true. Most countries’ libel laws have a lower burden that the U.S.. I was more referring to the anti-Trump atmosphere in British media, although she better hope to god they don’t have any receipts.

This is downright fiendish and I am HERE FOR IT.

These people don’t know what class is, straight-up.

To me what isn’t repellent about her is straight boring; there isn’t any there there, to borrow an overused phrase.

I’m sure this whole presidency thing is not in her contract, but shit happens, and it is now costing American taxpayers ungodly sums of money for her to play house in New York. She’s tacky and entitled and I don’t see how anyone owes her sympathy for her choice in a husband.

I really don’t know what you mean by that, but I do know we disagree almost completely about the direction of the party. I feel like your strategy of dismissing progressive principles to compete for the pro-corporate middle was just massively rebuffed by the 2016 election, and you think continuing with that same…

So if he’d backed Bullard he’d have been buried by pro-Netanyahu Jewish dems (who already hate him) and for entrenching the fracture in the party between grassroots and establishment dems, and if he backed Bittel he would inevitably be skewered for the “flaming hypocrisy” of backing someone who backed someone (DWS)…

I think this response underlines all my points perfectly.

The people who didn’t vote for Clinton where it counted.

So what was supposed to happen? Despite her kicking Bernie’s ass by nearly 4 million votes the Dem Party was supposed to just hand the nom to Bernie? If you think that would have created party unity or ensured that bernie won in November then you are insane.

True- and again I want to reiterate that all of these possible leaders would be an improvement- but I see Perez as someone unwilling to put a foot down anywhere. A labor secretary who had nothing to say about the minimum wage, even under a popular president? Where are the guts, the principles?

Valid point, but are we really doing this here? Those people for whom Yoo is an authority are not reading The Slot, or the New York Times for that matter.

He’s black (strike one), Muslim (strike 2 if not 2.5), and endorsed by the Socialist Wing of the party (strike 3 and basically the Corbyn connection).
