Situational ethics is a key tenet of neoliberalism. Often given the euphemism of “pragmatism.”

So if impeachment is useless let’s get rid of it. Nobody cares about being on the right side of history anymore anyway.

It’s about time.

We are totally and truly fucked when we have to look to Justin Bieber for taking the (albeit obvious) moral high ground.

That’s the least of the problems in Washington State. They also have a “top 2" primary which is a highly un-democratic way of locking out candidates that aren’t from the 2 major corrupt parties.

It discriminates against people who can’t take holidays off. As other have observed, secure voting by mail or electronic means is a much better investment of resources if your objective is really to increase voter participation in a fair way.

Standing at a “crossroads” indeed ... it’s standing in the middle of the fucking intersection interfering with traffic, and with any luck it’ll get run over by somebody who has someplace important to go.

Mnuchin’s laughing all the way to the bank mint.

They know better than to bite the hand that feeds, or at least to avoid biting the hand of those who could more vigorously deny their CPB funding.

So two people in the government almost took their constitutional oath seriously? Wow.

Yeah, but that may have actually happened at Boeing. 

He wouldn’t know a progressive if one punched him in the nose. The sooner the better.
