Agreed. For me, it’s another example of single issue progressive-ism that I find so weird with California, and in general really. It likes to tout itself as one of the most liberal states (and it is in many ways). But on the whole, there are some spotty blind spots, like criminal justice reform where until very…

Agree. Many of us in California are center left, not particularly progressive, and Feinstein represents us.

If California really is so deep blue, perhaps someone could run in a primary against her.

I’m still basking in the news that Jason Chaffetz, Beaver-American and World Class Coward, won’t be running for re-election. He will presumably spend his newfound free time the same way he spent it while in office. By:

This is a great post, but I still cringe when I see that 60% figure. The question was, “Is it the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage?” That is not the same thing as “Do you support single-payer healthcare?” (I’m not suggesting that you’re drawing that…

Ooh, great, yet another Aggrieved White Male with anger management issues and zero control over his emotions. Yeah, we totally need more of THOSE in power.

You cannot arrest or repress people who just don’t exist in the republic. If such people existed in Chechnya, law enforcement would not have to worry about them, as their own relatives would have sent them to where they could never return.

But in a court of law, a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. So if you can’t prove guilt, he’s innocent. What is the difference?

No. That’s exactly the claim he wants to make. And he’s proud to do so.

This is going to make Mike Pence’s Easter!

Ten bucks says she has uttered the phrase, “I’m not like other girls,” without an ounce of self-awareness.

SOLID DEFENSE, DUDE. Can’t imagine why people are worried about your treatment of gay folks.

The only difference being that Chechnya has a Muslim majority doing this.

And people laughed at me for not dropping him from my fantasy team.

“Devos Civil Right Office Appointee Once Claimed She Was Discriminated Against For Being White”

Betsy DeVos is a proud member of the white lady group who cheerleads toxic masculinity. I find her more odious than out and out misogynists.

I’m arguing with my wife’s redneck family members about the MOAB attack, which they are fucking ecstatic over (like, literally cheerleading on Facebook). I asked them why we needed to use the GBU-43, which from my understanding detonates midair to hit surface targets, against underground targets like tunnel networks.…

And yet, so many of our esteemed lawmakers want to make it even easier for domestic abusers to access guns. My heart hurts for the Smith and Martinez families.

This is not terrorism.
