I feel like these takes give the British Parliament and the average Brit too much of a pass on the fuckery that was the British Empire. It’s been a constitutional monarchy for a long time, the last significant thing the royals ever really did without a PM and a powerful House of Commons was pre-Revolutionary War, at…

Can we finally be done with the ‘stimmy’ shit now, or will that keep going through to Friday? Child tax credit extension, money for states not to go bankrupt (which they can’t do), vaccine push funding, support to open schools up safer (if not cockblocked by shitty red governments in their states), unemployment…

He has kids though, maybe the child credit increase will make him happy?

I wonder how his end of the day goes. Does he chill out with a beer and feel good about being a waste of a political representative? Because with his cohort being Lindsay Graham that’s what he is, doing shit like this instead of actively legislating. Oh no, Joy Reid told the truth about you being a token - lament the…

Follow your dreams people - if they’re willing to give this charmless wretch a show (when hell, there are likely more charming shucker/jivers out there, there might be a nurturing bosom-haver out there) then your idea’s never that stupid.

Guess he believed she'd been impressed by the size....of his wallet. 

Her first husband refused a title so through that her kids didn’t have them. Less a mark of pride, more sexism.

I imagine he did or an aide left some binders, but there's theory vs. reality

Considering the recruitment drives towards gamers he wasn’t wrong. More an indictment of war in general, than those within it.

For every ten people in Baltimore there’s half a person in the entire state of South Dakota. And those people? Lower cost of living, plenty of space to spread out. Bat her eyes, coo at Trumpy-kins, and she’d been the poster child for Trump to use as a “see! be nice to me and your state gets money and PPE/safety!”. But…

Plus: he genuinely likes the job. IDK, even when Barr was shitting on black and brown people and crying about lack of civic respect to authority I never got that he liked it. Sure, the subjugating minorities bit - many people love minor aspects of their jobs and boy did that Flintstone fuck love that bit - but not the…

Which came first: Ted throwing their daughters under the bus, or this coming to light?

Cruz will dawn a cowboy hat and rustle up his bootleg Texas accent that hides all traces of his Latino heritage Ivy League education that marks him as a hypocritical Yankee no better than a carpetbagger and share in the Texas hate of people of color and all will be forgotten.

Copoganda is right up there with the westerns of the 1930s-70s in terms of props of the Strong White Savior narrative that get entities like the GOP hard. Reform of the genre (it CAN be boring, there are assholes, there’s corruption, even the ‘good’ ones have dirt on them) is needed.

Indeed - get the Homicide/The Wire guys behind it: we need to make accountability of law enforcement and DA offices sexy.

Sadly it’s what makes Tamir Rice even worse/tragic: decades after the realism got removed for situations outlined in a Die Hard character we still aren’t given the benefit of the doubt...

Lordy. No one sane wants the current Republican Party as outlined in this article, not even Progressive’s Satan Pelosi/ “establishment Democrats”. But: we do not need single party rule from the Democratic Party either. In representative government there needs to be opposition - whether from one primary party under our…

Well if you entered the world to that punchable choad’s face...

Never trust a libertarian worldview with political power. Even at the level they’re supposed to care about they will fuck you every time.

Ash Wednesday FTW.
