Really though? I’m not sure thats backed up by facts. I mean, 538 did an analysis a few years ago:

Agreed, it’s bad. But Congress gave Obama a choice: do nothing (literally) for eight years while they blocked every move he made through legitimate channels, or to find ways to do the things he was elected to do. I’m glad he didn’t just do nothing, and it bugs me to see him blamed for executive overreach. Don’t blame…

As I mentioned elsewhere, I really hope the history books also note that Obama was faced with a possibly historic level of obstructionism from Congress. So he was forced to get creative with executive power in order to govern.

The best part of these letters is that, for the most part, they serve to show how deeply our public servants care about the cause for which they serve. These people are speaking anonymously and thus have little reason to lie, and what I get from reading these pieces is the terror that Trump will undo the work they’ve…

I really like the design and concept of that half-controller+mouse set.

100% agree. I love Faerie Tale Theatre so much, and it makes me sad that someone who created something so delightful is in such bad shape. I hope she gets the help and support she needs.

Last I heard about her, she was patrolling her Texas ranch for holes leading to aliens or something. I don’t really think Kubrick broke her, but I do think he was cruel enough to perceive weakness and extract a performance from her weakness to serve his goal. On one hand, it was a helluva performance; on the other…

Kubrick abused her to no end on the set of The Shining and would not allow anyone to comfort her. He did this as a twisted directorial technique.

The woman who gave us this treasure, which warms my heart whenever I’m in a dark place, deserves far, far better than Doctor Fucking Phil.

I really wish that Oprah had never brought Dr.’s Phil & Oz out of the grays.

I think this is super exploitative of Dr. Phil, but it’s exactly the kind of thing I expect from him.

I’m frankly quite disappointed with the quality of the people Russia managed to turn.

I usually would just say jfc.

Looks like those Soviet sleepers finally paid off.

But that is when they thought America was great.

In addition to everything else, we have to be on Megyn Kelley’s side.

Don’t do that! If he finds out what internment camps are he’ll definitely try to reinstate them.

Someone should explain to Mr. Trump that the internment camps are a horrific stain on this nation’s character.
