How is this not, you know, treason? Working with a foreign power to influence US politics in exchange for dirt on your political opponent- that has to be something.... right?

It is the darkest timeline.

It’s now considered a point of positive credit that our incoming Attorney General will publicly admit that grabbing women’s genitals without permission is, in fact, sexual assault.

I found this commentary useful.

Nancy Grace interviews Melinda Duckett, mother of a missing boy. Grace “was pounding her desk and loudly demanding to know ‘Where were you?’”

Right! The sense of purpose is one of the main drivers that keep people alive, that, and great friends. (Its been studied.) 

Not to mention that the Chicago Police were saying “Well this is just a case of kids being dumb to maybe we should chill out a little bit before we rush to judgement” and white people flipped the fuck out.

I do want it said and again and again how this has nothing to do with conventional politics. Trump isn’t just wrong or bad (or even primarily wrong or bad) because he’s a Republican. He’s bad because he’s just a shitty human being who just so happens to have hijacked politics.

Jezebel and Deadspin once took over each other’s site and it was my favorite thing ever.

When I bought my brand new car without a co-signer or without taking my parents with me. I got pre-approved for a loan with low interest from my bank and drove away in it. That was a couple of years ago and I still feel good when I drive it.

Nooo, this cannot be real!

I tried standup a half-dozen or so years ago. Had my ass and heart handed back to me almost every time. The cast iron ego required to pound away at it night after night, year after year... these folks are the most resilient motherfuckers on the planet.

Watching her this morning moved me more than I anticipated it would. It felt like, not only the end of her tenure as FLOTUS, but the end of civility, intellectualism, and empathy in Washington for a long time to come. And when she choked up near the end, I think it’s because she knows it, too.

California doesn’t get to secede, full stop. It’s too rich, and poor people in the rest of this country need its money.

So much for the party of state’s rights and small government! I hate these people so much. I’m so scared of the next four years. I have no idea how/if we’re going to make it.

I blame national democrats. They don’t even try in Texas. But if you look at the election Clinton got 43.4% of the vote while spending zero money in the state. In Ohio, she spent a fortune but only got 43.5% of the vote. Democrats just decided to not bother. I live in the 36th district and there wasn’t even a…

Yeah...the Austin tech scene and the boom that San Antonio is slated to experience will be cut short by this bill. The NBA, NCAA and Salesforce (just to name a few) pulled out of NC after their bill — jobs, livelihood, and growth went with them. Millennials demand an inclusive work environment, and companies sure as…

And this is why I think libertarians are basically bullshit.

It seems to me that many white men find the idea of privilege to be offensive to their sense of fairness. If you’re taught implicitly by society that everything goes both ways and everyone is created equal... and you just happen to dominate as a group, the suggestion that you are benefiting from conditions that you…
