Artists and art shouldn’t have any overriding responsibility to make people feel better or improve the world.

I think people in general are underestimating or just unaware of how dangerous Bolton is. He isn’t a cog in the machine or a dupe or a public face, he’s a driver of policy and destruction, has been for decades.

Sure, in the “stealing 80 cents from me is better than stealing a dollar”, sucker’s, idiot’s excuse. You’re in an abusive relationship.

“In a recent interview with HuffPost, Giuliani initially disputed the notion that Trump’s daily citing, in the final month of his campaign, of Russian-aligned WikiLeaks and its release of Russian-stolen emails constituted “colluding” with Russia.

So GOP candidate Hitler, DEM candidate Stalin, Green party candidate Gandhi. Who do you vote for?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Order and sanity such as this? Tribalists have such poor memories...

And it bears reminding people that the last SCOTUS pick was made by sitting President Obama, and should have been seated or vetted by Congress, but didn’t due to what should have been an entirely outrageous (perhaps at the level of current RachelMaddowRussia even) media and political storm.

Rape is bad. Torture is bad. Murder is bad. Don’t vote for people who have done that, or put them in a position of power.

Stick to this specific case, where it took Democrat Senators to put a known rapist, torturer, and murderer in office. Is rape, torture, and murder a centrist position you hold and can get behind via your elected/appointed officials?

Yeah, apparently opposing torture is now one of those unrealistic “purity tests”. Oh and not just torture, rape (forced anal feeding) and murder (deaths by torture).

Are you suggesting that in an ideal Facebook censoring system, undocumented Mexican (for example) immigrants are real people but undocumented Russian (for example) immigrants aren’t real people?

I think that’s called consistency.

It’s not an election. If Haspel is the pick, vote against her. If Cotton then comes up, vote against him too. This isn’t rocket science.

Torture is illegal. The President & DOJ before Trump had plenty of time and evidence to prosecute torturers. Instead that President declared we must look forward, not backward, thus immunizing criminals. Leading, ultimately, to one such criminal about to become CIA director.

You’re a conspiracy theory spewing nutcase.

Hamas has shit all to do with this, you stupid asshole.

“Clio Chang is an apologist for Hillary Clinton at Splinter”

There isn’t any advantage to being a registered Dem or GOP in Cali. It’s actually disadvantageous because non-affiliateds can choose which party’s primary to vote for, but registered people can only vote for their registered party (I think, it’s been a long time)

“Joking about a man dying is pretty soulless, but let’s be real—the White House’s sense of “decency” didn’t die yesterday.”
