Invoking rule 19 is completely insane for a confirmation hearing. But even putting that aside for a second, how is reading a letter from Coretta Scott King impugning his character? Like, how?

I’m amazed by this. How the fuck you gonna use Rule 19 during a confirmation hearing of a sitting senator? It’s absolute bullshit.

The media needs to stop giving her a platform. The only possible response to Gobbels Barbie here is screaming “fuck you” loud enough to drown her out. She’s nothing but propaganda kept upright by six inches deep pancake makeup and contempt for all living beings.

By putting her back on the air all they are doing is validating alternative facts. They should blacklist her if she lacks credibility. I believe the colloquialism is, “Don’t feed the troll.”

It sounds like you’re talking about the Kardashians, but NO, you’re talking about the FIRST FAMILY!!! I cannot believe this is real life, in the United States, and so many people I respect are excusing their behavior!!! I need to go cry and get my frustrations out!!

It’s not politics. It’s money. Bitch literally bought herself a cabinet position like you or I or any other joe-shmoe would buy a cabinet. She’s so in over her head I’m waiting for the bitch to ask where the drawers are.

I am a public school teacher. I am sitting at my desk, which is in a classroom in a public school full of minorities and SpEd students, and I am weeping. I have about 9 minutes left on my lunch break, and I don’t know that I can pull it together in time. I am crushed, absolutely gutted. I am afraid for my students, I…

Mike Pence is pretty much the defecto leader of the American Taliban. Her blonde hair helmet is essentially the burqa of rich, white women.

Mike Pence can go fuck himself. Ditto for all who endorsed her.

Can we all agree that Melania is no captive victim here? She may despise her disgusting beast of a husband, but she’s in on the insanity all the same.  

A cab driver almost hit me on my bike two years ago when I had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian who stepped into the bike lane on Bleecker. He also honked his horn. The press never reported anything about it.

It’s weird how I know this and yet still compare myself to these women and make myself feel bad. When I’m well rested and feeling well I don’t need the reminder as much. When I’m tired or depressed or anxious I’m more likely to look for things to beat myself up with. The reminder is definitely necessary.

Please roast his ass with no mercy.

Have SO MUCH FUN. Seriously.

British person here. We are pretty much rubbing our hands together with glee at the prospect of a Trump visit. Every comedy show is endlessly mocking him and even the newscasters are saying things like”we tried to find someone who supports Trump but we couldn’t find anyone” (this happened twice just in a week). He is…

The Queen ought to send Charles to receive him. The Prince of Wales, being himself, almost immediately would start lecturing Trump on climate change. Trump would throw a tantrum.

Dictators have been elected. Hitler, obviously, is the prime example. Stalin was elected through the normal state mechanisms and he was also a dictator. The list goes on, but I assume you get the point. Dictatorial authority is not inconsistent with normal constitutional mechanisms for elections and pathways to…

Setting aside her bizarre anti-public education stances and her weird fear of grizzly bears, Besty DeVos is completely unqualified for the position for which she’s been nominated. She’s like a Ben Carson or a Rick Perry without any actual accomplishments to point to except for being rich and giving lots of money to…

Money does wonders for aging.
