There’s no such thing as “legal morality”. Legality and morality are two entirely separate concepts.

Sure sounds like an immoral way to operate to me, you fucking snake in the boot of democracy. If you’re not a public defender, you don’t have to take on every client that crosses your threshold.

Fun fact: That case was about Hillary!

Yeah, it’s just an unachievable pipe dream that couldn’t even be achieved by some random center-right nation like Germany.

That’s exactly my thought as well. Abolish all financial contributions to election campaigns entirely and make all elections 100% publicly funded. Lobbying could still be allowed, but the financial or “other considerations” that are typically a part of it would likewise be outlawed. That means that if you want to…

You’re a car person, I’m assuming based on your avatar. So let’s say you want to sell a car that’s worth $2,000. Hillary was asking $2,500 and by starting at a reasonable mark up she virtually assures all she’d get was $2,000, possibly even less. Sanders was asking $3,500 hoping through negotiations to arrive at…

That BBC Korea guy with the interrupting baby - she came out full on Twitter blasting him as being the living embodiment of the patriarchy and how he needed to lose his job, esepcially for the way he treated his nanny.
Someone points out that the “nanny” was his wife and it’s kind of off to assume that an Asian person…

Civil Unions is a pragmatic solution to the question of “are gays allowed to marry?” Did we settle for that? Should we have?

When you show up to negotiate the price of a car or a house, do you walk in and say “here’s the absolute most I could be persuaded to pay” and go from there?

Compromise is absolutely how you govern, but hopes and goals is how you campaign. If you start a negotiation already sitting in the middle, then you have nowhere to go but towards the other parties desires.
That’s why it’s important to start with some actual transformative goals rather than just stating a desire for…

That’s what the Republicans have been doing for the last 8 years, compromise? Looks like they’ve been standing up to their warped ideals and they got rewarded for doing so. You don’t have to compromise much if you’re the majority party in both Congress and the Presidency (SEE: 2000-2006 as a great example).

Compromise is fine if it works, if the gains outweigh what is sacrificed. How can stagnant wages since the ‘70s, dramatic reductions in access to family planning, huge declines in democratic representation in state government, federal government and judgeships, constant military adventurism and expansion, no…

The strategy that should be employed is talking about ideas. People don’t respond to complicated negotiations leading to marginal compromises and a bill getting passed. Take the ACA, for example. Nobody really gave a shit about the actual bill. Obama supporters loved it, and generally had no idea what it was. Obama…

Sanders is still an ideologue like Trump or others in the GOP, he’s just one whose ideology you like.

This is a bad take.

This is the 4th-5th article on this matter in the past 2 months from this family of sites (Katie’s 3rd on the subject, and with Kirkman’s clarification being available since the very first posting). Benefit of the doubt time has passed.

Referencing a Gawker blind item is like reprinting something scribbled on a bathroom stall and saying, “See? People are talking about this.” It is very irresponsible to hold a man’s reputation hostage until he denies (to your liking) unsourced rumors that don’t even mention him by name.

Kirkman makes clear: “There are rumors out there that Louis takes his dick out at women.

Is this a massive walkback by Kirkman?

My impression from reading about this before is that she had way less nuance.

In disclosure, she has blocked me on Twitter over a misunderstanding. But I still think she’s funny.
