That is actually true. I worry that Trump/Bannon/Chtulu are going to deflect any criticism against them or the fallout from any of their failures to Congress. Not that I like the Republicans in Congress, but there are at least some people there who have like, read the Constitution and stuff. To the extent that this at…

“Without the EC, cities would dominate our government.”

Give it to the House. Let them own Trump if that’s how they want to vote. Let them be put into this pressure cooker. Let them be directly saddled with him for the next four years; give the Dems that talking point. Let them take all of the blame. It’s the least this House deserves.

I will never, ever understand why people hate Hillary so much. I voted Bernie in the primaries, but came around to Hillary like most sane Americans once faced with a Trump presidency. I’m also from NC and decided to read the comments section on McCrory FINALLY stepping down today because I’m a masochist or something.…

I’d rather to House be stuck holding the bag than the EC. It’d be a great opposition talking point, at least. He’d be tied directly to the House. He’d be their president. Not the voters, not the EC, the House’s.

If anything these faithless electors will create such a crisis as to abolish the electoral college. And these fuckhead conservatives who keep saying that the electoral college evens the playing field are fucking racist. That the most densely populated areas shouldn’t control the government. Why the fuck not? Why is a…

Technically, we only need 37 of them to change their minds to change the result. Of course, unless all 37 changed their vote from Trump to Clinton, the election would just go to the House instead, who would pick Trump anyways.

The shooter is still alive? The police didn’t shoot him dead? so they CAN show restraint...

There are real actual children being sex trafficked in DC (see Lisa Ling’s excellent and devastating Our America episode on it) but none of these dipshits actually cares about real victims because they don’t fit their idiotic paranoid theories. 

I’m willing to bet that there has been a lot of work done behind the scenes. A fair bit of sausage making that isn’t shown to the public.

I’m astounded how someone can just say shit and then WE HAVE TO DEBATE BOTH SIDES.

Nice to see again that a white guy, with an actual gun, actually firing it in a public place, can get taken alive.

Also: the neo-nazis LOST today in Austria, so there’s that.

The Washington Post included many tweets of people who believe this hoax in a way that, to me, felt like an attempt at showing both sides of the story. I get wanting to do objective journalism but sometimes there just aren’t two legit sides.

For fuck sakes America.

Statistically, every political party (and every other group of more than about 100 people) should have a few pedophiles in it, just based on the horrific number of children who get abused. That’s not evidence of any kind of conspiracy — but that’s not important, because pizzagate isn’t about fighting child abuse; it’s…

Prime, Netflix and Hulu need to accept that they are not networks and stop making big dollar deals to get name celebrities. Look at the two really big break out series—Transplant and Orange is the New Black. Neither featured huge marquee names and both succeeded by bringing marginalized stories to a mainstream…

Don’t ask. Demand. If we are second-class citizens, and we have been, for the entire history of this country, then it makes perfect sense for women to be exempted from the draft. First things first!

I’m totally ok with this... AFTER EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN IS PASSED.

Yeah, sexist dudes always think this is the thing that’ll get us to be all, “you’re right, I should never have complained about all that other unequal stuff! I’ll get back in your kitchen.”
