BECAUSE (sorry, i have to explain this all the time), in the last two gubernatorial elections, a popular third-party candidate has run, splitting the votes between democrat and independent. The majority of Mainers didn’t vote for LePage, but he still won. This is why we are doing ranked-choice voting (Today! For the…

It was. And continued to be as he constantly trashed our reputation. I swear to you, Maine is really not the backwards racist state he makes it seem. At least not everywhere.

LOL - I just made the same comment more or less! Maine. What more can you say? Maine.

Is it just me, or does Kim also have tiny little fingers?

It’s been so long since we made national news for a non-sucky non-LePage reason! Woooo Maine!

We need to emphasize a bit more the fact that the guy that was just befriended by the US President is a homicidal maniac who starves an entire country on a daily basis.

The Trump administration shows the same amount of disdain toward the English language as they do toward...pretty much anything else that is decent and good.

Also: steam broccolini instead of steamed.

Exactly. 5-4 decision.

we should be like Australia, where it legally required to vote. you’re allowed to vote “none of the above” but 100% turnout is the legal requirement.

During the election I kept trying to point out to all the “they’re both the same” 3rd party (lets be honest they were all white) assholes that 1) No, they’re not. and 2) Its not about them, its about the courts.

Amen. People who don’t vaccinate should be forced to live in their own secluded fucking off-the-grid locations. If you want to belong to a civilized society, the requirement for vaccines (for folks who CAN take them, obviously not the folks who cannot medically take them) - should be enforced just like taxes. No ifs,…

I am glad the focus in the media lately has been on the survivors and not the perpetrators. It discourages copycats and possibly helps those who have been hurt cope. (maybe?) And that was a lovely rendition.

Vaccination should be mandatory, no question.
Refusing to vaccinate your children should be met with fines, withdrawal of child support and denied access to public healthcare.

Would it really be that, though? Sometimes I wonder what would happen if someone in a high position would just step up and check this asshole, right to his face. And no, I don’t really want anyone to make his nose squeak (well, I mean, sure, but... no). I’m talking about a proper, extended verbal dressing down that he…

Or, “I never dreamed I’d miss that idiot from Texas.”

Barring anything catastrophic happening, no. I don’t think it’s possible.

These other world leaders are showing a surprising amount of restraint. I really expected at least one “Oh just sit down and shut up, you stupid, stupid man” by now. But I guess that’s why I’m not a diplomat. (Well... that, and also I don’t even have a high school diploma.)

I thought Trump said we were once again respected around the world thanks to him... I suspect he may not be an entirely honest person.

God, that picture. It looks like she’s thinking, “This fucking moron” and crying inside remembering what it was like when Obama was there.
