Oh I’m definitely not disputing that, to be clear. It’s (unsurprisingly) crass in addition to probably not being allowed.

Not only did he not get any loving, he got his picture taken! The indignity of it all.

Ya, the thing is, if you come here to complain that the excerpt I cited doesn’t disprove the precise point you want to make, you should probably read the rest of the article I linked, which does. Dismissed.

I’m not even allowed to say McConnell’s name in front of my husband- it riles him right up and he needs to drink. He hates him even more than Trump, because Trump is a fucking fool, whereas Mitch is a snake. I tend to agree with him on that, though usually i have more than enough contempt to go around.

I’d guess right after they have used him to dismantle the social safety net and privatized everything they possibly can. They have state legislatures, the House, Senate, Presidency, and very soon the Supreme Court back in their majority; why would they give up any power now? I mean, short of nuclear war, and even…

He filed to start his re-election campaign the day after inauguration. On the bright side, I think this means he can’t fill the Supreme Court, because the GOP points out this would be inappropriate to do during a Presidential campaign.

I thought this was pretty good trolling: a Swedish newspaper published a list of events that took place yesterday- in English- just to underline how uneventful things are there. It includes a real moose humping a wooden moose;

It’s funny, I didn’t see the post of Bill inviting Milo on his show before I posted this, and now I’d like to double-down as well as add transphobia to my list of complaints. What a gutless turd.

I’m trying to figure out why the cops didn’t just tell the guy that sleeping was not a crime and blast him for wasting their time. There will always be ridiculous assholes in the world, but it’s pretty scary when the authorities jump right in on the ridiculousness.

Not really, no. To me, he’s not extreme on the left/right political spectrum, but extreme on the asshole scale. I find his anti-Muslim and anti-feminist stances repulsive.

bonus Letterman Trump take-down;

I know those guys! I’m not a part of that group but i do follow some of them. I think it’s good to see a resurgence of alternative parties. Coming to the U.S. from Canada, I’m a fan of multiparty systems.

That’s for the response, and sorry to ask and disappear (my connection went wonky last night).

Yes! It’s been floating around for a while, but I think it gains traction every time he issues a denial, such as in that bonkers pres conference/surrealist performance the other day.

No kidding. Not super proud of our species, of late.

It’s pretty depressing to consider how many folks share this opinion, minus the /s.

What elements of the resistance are “far-left”?

Okay, but think about it this way: any protocols that allow them to leak to the press anonymously also allow them to hide information that should be subject to subpoena/FOIA requests, or on the public record. It goes both ways.

This guy has multiple scandals behind him that would normally take someone completely out of the running for a cabinet position. I didn’t even realize this was the same guy who, as Oklahoma AG, was involved in the botched execution there until I saw it on Maddow last night; for entirely political reasons, he pushed…

Not to mention that White House staff are using end-to-end encryption apps to communicate. This is enabling both leaks and secrecy that potentially violate the Federal Records Act.
