For someone who’s graced us all with so many spoken distinctly audible brainfarts, it is kind of amazing that he still looks like he’s got so many more in store for the country. OTOH maybe it’s not hot air, maybe it’s all cholesterol or tumors or something, who knows.

GODDAMN IT YEAH THAT’S THE STUFF.

Fuck Breck McDaniel with a fistful of rusty barbed wire. Mostly for this, but also because his name is fucking Breck, which I’ll point out rhymes with dreck.

Yeah, this is one more great example of why Black Lives Matter was created and why we need it.

Did like 2 minutes of quick-and-dirty research on him. According to fivethirtyeight, he’s voted w/ Trump 12.5%, including stuff like “Allowing people who lose their jobs to receive tax credits under the American Health Care Act for continued coverage,” which is yucky, but a large majority of that 12% was on stuff that…

Gotcha. Or maybe a cabinet member in a Dem presidential administration? I’m not at all familiar w/ him, so idk.

Ted Lieu is already a member of Congress, per his twitter bio:

That’s baloney and you know it. Google will deliver you tons of results: some from mostly reliable sources like Associated Press or NBC or even the Wall Street Journal, some from complete crackpots like Alex Jones or Florida Man blogging while high on his own supply.

The “you” to which I’m referring is not you, the poster; it’s the doofus spouting lies on TV.

My main point is, it’s a wasted effort.

ok we’re done here.

no kidding; exactly what i was getting at.

I’ve never encountered that situation in the real world, and I honestly doubt I ever would

Those are all good points, and you can be assured that most people here and “in the real world” agree with you, including other progressives. Hell, I agree more than I disagree.

Sure, Trump is probably the pinnacle of this “post-truth” trend, but we’ve been heading here for awhile; in hindsight it seems almost inevitable.

Escape from LA is good, self-consciously-cheesy fun, I recommend you check it out some time, although I’m sure it’s not for everyone.

Fair question I guess. My impression is that generally for black actors to be nominated, their performances have to be at least good - if not outstanding - especially since so few get a chance to play prominent roles in any big movies (see #OscarsSoWhite, the entire history of Hollywood). And tbh I guess a small part…

And of course they (Republicans) are also frequently rapists too. That may sound like a joke, but it’s true.

IKR? “I looked it up on Google” is almost worse than “I heard it from a friend of a friend”

It was Brianna Keilar not Brooke Baldwin that called Williams out on his total horseshit, but yeah, it would be funny as hell if it wasn’t so depressing.
