yeah. on a personal level, i feel bad for her: she’s been in politics for decades - her entire adult life - and now at best, the conventional wisdom seems to be that she’s irrelevant. for years she’s been fighting for various causes (sure, sometimes on the wrong side, like voting for the Iraq War or calling black kids…

First, great summary! And I kinda feel like I should be giddy too, except so far I haven’t seen much evidence of consequences for these crooks, beyond a few of them losing jobs they were hopelessly unqualified for anyway, and of course Mueller getting a couple people to plead guilty to some extremely serious charges,…

we were really close to it too! there were like 3 states (can’t remember exactly how many) that she lost by the slimmest of margins that would have swung it in the other direction. *sigh*

nm, i actually did it w/ one of those template thingies:

HUMP THE GUNS

Maybe you didn’t, but I did!

This deserves many more stars and more recognition.

I think the smart money’s still on no, they won’t, but again people left and right are wondering what it’ll take, what’s that straw that finally breaks the camel’s (or elephant’s) back, and fer chrissakes what’s taking so long?

Is this enough for the GOP to finally turn on Trump? No? Of course not?

cheezburgers:

i mean, like most people here i tend to gauge things by American standards. if i was going to gauge things by global standards, especially wealthy industrialized nations standards, especially say Denmark standards, then sure, still really, really terrible. our foreign policy would remain the same nightmare it’s been…

i don’t want to look at ur memes. if it’s not lolcats idgaf. besides that i def agree with some of your comments but others smell like trolling so it’s hard for me to trust u and i don’t want to get my heart broken again.

Outstanding article - Thanks Clio!

This is the correct response. All these things can be true simultaneously, and are:

There is some moderation, but as far as flagging a comment, there’s only 3 choices: 1) harassment 2) hate speech 3) spam. On a number of occasions recently I’ve wished I could flag a comment for 4) arguing in bad faith, or 5) being so dumb that reading it is worse than eating lead paint chips, or just 6) jfc are you…

Diabolical implies some degree of ingenuity and subterfuge; these guys are far too stupid, too congenitally shameless, to make any serious effort - or frequently any effort at all - to hide their avarice and contempt for any and all democratic principles.

yeah, so clearly we’re not alone. idk why it was much funnier during the dubya administration - i still can’t get behind the popular sentiment “man i never thought i would say this, but with everything going on i actually miss dubya, he doesn’t seem so bad now” - but it was. i could still laugh at dubya’s gaffes,…

I’m sure he could easily get access to nuclear codes - like he was building a fort with furniture in the White House and found a printout under a couch or something - but I’m not sure he’s competent enough to enter all those numbers and letters in the correct sequence, he’d probably end up smashing his fists on the…

I know, right?

I couldn’t say for sure, but I’m guessing the short answer is no, long answer is even fewer than the number of black people who support Tr*Ugh*StillCan’tSayIt. I’m not at all trying to imply there’s some connection between the two, just that yeah, Bon Iver is some white-ass music, they’d probably give Arcade Fire or…
