I think the issue with fiscal conservatism next to social liberalism is that fiscal conservatism essentially supports the existing power structure. The less redistribution of wealth that exists, the more the system favors those that already have power and wealth (and obviously harms those that don’t have those…

Everything is a zero sum game to conservatives. And they want it ALL for themselves.

The right are a bunch of bullies who get off in putting others down. Everything is a zero-sum game to them, so we therefore can’t all be wonderful special people.

All right, kid, looks like you have to give the Baez ball back.

What’s ironic is that CNN was particularly spineless in its Trump coverage during the election, giving the Hillary email scandal as much coverage as all of Trump’s scandal’s combined, and giving Trump tons of free airtime as they would cut away from all other news to air his speeches live.

The irony is that CNN is probably doing the best job of covering this presidency. They’re my go-to because they understand that the way this president behaves and “governs” is not normal, and should be put into the proper context... I’ve noticed that other mainstream outlets seem to want to cover Trump as if he’s a…

I’m not saying ‘treat both sides equally’.

Who needs to fear Sharia law? We have our own religiously intolerant mandates masquerading as law already. They’re just citing a different prophet to justify these.

I love the solidarity of comedians, Colbert, Michelle Wolf, John Oliver, getting on board and using “feckless (insert adjective)” since that was a ridiculously dumb “controversy” that intentionally distracted from this exact news story.

A couple buddies of mine and I decided one day that we should be in a punk band together. We are all early 50's. It’s been the best experience. We all have jobs, so don’t need the money. We work for beer and only play venues that seem cool. We take losses on any trip out of town. Each trip we take out of town is like…

Marvin Gaye, “Let’s Get It On”

I know My Fair Lady was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and won many of them. Notably absent was Audrey Hepburn. I assumed she was always given short shrift. Turns out she was nominated for 5 Oscars and won for Roman Holiday. Still, as the author noted, I don’t recall her being discussed among the great actresses.

I love this moment.

Trump making a comment about people not getting a phone call? Did he ever call that man that stopped the Waffle House shooting?

In the 1974 movie Groove Tube , Richard Belzer played the President. It used to be a funny bit, a completely unqualified, brash, bullying thug who says: “I’m in the driver’s seat! I’m runnin’ the show! I’M THE FUCKIN’ PRESIDENT!” . It’s not that funny any more - swear to god I think of Belzer almost every time Trump…

Roughly 5,000 (or more) have died in Puerto Rico and this racist idiot only cares about another racist idiot.

Both sides have some very fine people, so let’s not just jump to conclusions. You never know, he could be a white person instead of a terrorist.

It’s almost as if the biggest purveyor of fake news in the world was waging a war against those who keep calling him out on his bullshit.

Now let’s not jump to conclusions here! This guy might also be receiving transmissions from the CIA through his fillings or something. Gotta wait for the whole story to come out!
