I think it’s more like the US is that nanny from the The Omen screaming, “It’s all for you, Damien!” then jumping off the house with a noose around her neck.

Oh you precious thing. So sorry Clinton didn’t cater to your delicacies more against a Fascist. You are such a BRAVE and PRINCIPLED soul.

Die in a fucking fire.

You voted for Trump? Thank for letting me know you completely cockswaddled fascist hatemongering fuck.

We better start thinking ahead folks. Here’s the thing, it’s not that a Republican won that bothers me. It’s that we elected a man that’s openly xenophobic, racist, misogynist, a liar/makes shit up with zero proof, has a short fuse, and to top it off, has zero governing/military experience!!!!! And Trump has a…

I’ve been arguing all week with my friends who voted for President-Elect Cheeto, and all I have to say is this: If you tell me you “will not tolerate racism, hate, harassment or violence,” but you voted for Trump, then you really aren’t being true to your word.

Jez should create a living document of all these stories. There are already hundreds and it’s been four days.

nah

This. This is so heartening to me. As I said in last night’s open thread, the thing driving me and keeping me sane right now is knowing that I have a mission. Lawyers are going to be our bulwark against oppression. Lawyers like Ms. Weiss, like the ACLU lawyers who have pledged to protect the constitution, and like…

Context is incredibly important in a discussion; have you ever said “epic” and meant something other than a long-form poem?

...I’ll wait.

Absolutely false analogy--or false equivalence, if you’re using the new phraesology.

A restaurant where the food will kill you is not analogous to voting in an election where you do not particularly like your choices, anymore than all of your friends wanting to go to a restaurant you cannot afford is.

Avoiding deathly…

“Rational” is a term that is not necessarily logically linked to “reality.” All kinds of things have happened over the years that have had very little to do with rationality.

...sort of like you and old “You. Yes. You.” invoking the First Amendment when absolutely no one is calling for the government to intercede in a…

Exactly as Arnheim said

As has been said by several other people before me, the argument is not that non-voting citizens should not have the legal right to complain--but rather that they have given up any pretense of having the moral ground to stand on required to lodge a complaint that will carry any weight with their peers.

I suspect a…

Oh for god’s sake. No one is arguing that non-voters don’t have the LEGAL right to complain. The argument is that they lack the MORAL right (i.e., justification) to complain. Which I suspect you understand perfectly well.

lol love you Barack but no we don’t. Our fellow citizens are racist, sexist assholes. And the ones who aren’t racist and sexist are at a minimum incredibly selfish and self-serving and they can all get fucked.

Melania will not even water the plants, nor trump!!!

“Presumption of good faith”? Nope. Not seeing it. Let me know when the Republicans retract their entire platform built on hatred and divisiveness. Then we can talk.

I’m really going to miss the Obama. A nice, classy, hard working person that I admired and respected and was always proud to say is My President. At least he’s leaving with approval ratings of +50%.

Omg, yes fuck you Susan Sarandon. I hope you enjoy clinging to your ideological purity while Trump guts this country and drags us back to 1851 or whenever he believes America was great before.
