I’m being forced to use up some of my PTO so I’m taking Monday off and donating that day’s salary to PP.

They fucking ACCOMPLISHED tort reform. It’s all on a state level and it’s all a HORRIBLE FUCKING IDEA. All it did was cap the amount of money people could recover in lawsuits for malpractice, which is bonkers because malpractice recovery already had to directly relate to damages. So now you have cases where people…

Every time I see Sessions I’m immediately reminded of Henry Gibson (of Laugh-in fame and aka the Illinois Nazi leader in The Blues Brothers).

“nothing burger”

Honestly, when I read that, I was like, “Holy shit, give this guy a cookie for being self-aware!” All the dudes I’ve known who are like that think that they are perfectly great and normal people and it’s the women around them who are irrational and unreasonable. I have much less of a problem with people being immature…

John Mellencamp sounds exactly like every person I’ve ever dated. And also like my dad. 🤔

i do a quick googling before I hit “publish” to make sure I don’t look like more of a jackass than I normally do

It’s worse than that though. If you, the anonymous internet poster, makes a statement that is even slightly incorrect you get blasted by a million people and you are just some random person. But when these people, who are supposed to serve us, say something completely and utterly incorrect hardly anyone bats an eye.

What I find interesting is his wife agreed to this, but his dad is super pissed.

I cannot fucking wrap my head around this level of ignorance and arrogance.

Christ he’s still fucking here?

I’d also recommend listening to a few episodes of Vox’s The Weeds. Excellent policy breakdown/discussions, and they’ve had a number of highly informative, nuanced episodes specific to the ACA/Obamacare over the past few months (including last week’s episode).

Change happens very slowly because while folks on the left push for more progressive policies, the right wingers are pushing back with all their might for more conservative policies. That means that anyone pushing our society and policies to the left, even the most moderate, cautious, and pathetic democrats, are…

My state’s senator is a Reservist and he LOVES to talk it up like he’s a damn five star general or some shit. I’m like, you’re a part timer, bub, not a real soldier.

He’ll always be the most Chet-like Chet that ever Chetted.

This sounds really awesome! Good on all of you for freezing your buns off in the cold to twit the guy. These douches are wayyyyyyyy too comfortable, and I feel a sense of assurance that some of them will just get intimidated and drift away. I, too, am waiting for my sweet, sweet Soros protestor money.

Some Republicans have cited the shooting of Gabby Giffords as the reason they won’t go to their twon hall meetings. Here’s what a real, brave leader has to say about it:

True but now they say “Well we can’t know what happened before they started recording.”

1. Without video evidence, these two boys would get criminal records that could socially and economically cripple them for life. They still might.
