No shit. The fact that she could say “given our current budget realities, the federal government cannot fund every worthy program, particularly ones that enjoy robust support from private donations” is ridiculous. This budget has $500 million going towards charter school grants. So we can’t fund a non-profit because…

This is better work than yesterday, but again, too obvious. I really feel like you aren’t putting enough effort in.

No everyone, it’s okay, he’s basically Hispanic himself. He said so in his “apology” but you just have to know him well to understand that.

Careful, they’ll just send everyone back down here to the greys again. Moderation appears to be too much to ask for here.

Do you think the government is just going to run a universal healthcare system with their current staff? The government will likely end up hiring a bunch of those people who worked in health insurance because those people have experience in handling healthcare claims and would be much better equipped to help run the…

Agreed. That’s been essentially my rebuttal to the “how are we going to pay for it” response for a while now. How much are we spending on CA’s wildfires? On hurricanes each year? It will only get worse and those costs will only go up, and we will just be rebuilding and waiting for it to happen again. It’s like when a…

Wow, that’s ridiculous. The Gravy Navy doesn’t have that kid of funding, unfortunately, and we’d have a hard time explaining that kind of excess to our constituents. 

About filling up the yacht? I thought I was exaggerating. That’s upsetting. 

In a different Marvel article on AV Club (I think) someone commented that Thor worked really well with the GOTG and he should replace Quill as the leader. I am behind that idea 100%. 

“Science should not be partisan”

This is what kills me about the Democratic party, they are terrible at messaging and constantly miss out on opportunities to pick up some political capital. The message on this should be nothing but “Trump is taking from our soldiers and reducing support for our veterans for a wall he promised Mexico would pay for.”

This is very weak work. If you’re looking for people to swarm you with “well, actually...” replies because you are purposefully providing false information, do it more subtly next time. The typo is a nice touch, though, those always allow people to get even higher on their horse about how dumb you are, which just…

I think he’s saying that “thousands of years of scapegoating and persecution and hatred, relentless pogroms, being chased from their homes and countries over and over again, and the largest mass genocide in world history” are not “wins.” Victory and outlasting your oppressor through endurance are not the same thing.…

But it’s okay, she donated a whole quarter of her salary last year! That probably wouldn’t even be enough to fill one of her yachts up with gas.

It’s not a single event, it’s a global charity that works with millions of athletes in over 150 countries. They put on over 100,000 competitions each year. The average cost of the summer olympic games is $5.2 billion, you tell me who is using the money better. Also, it’s a non-profit so you are free to look up their…

When you know there won’t be any consequences, why would you care enough to try?

I’ve never really understood the aversion to booger eating. Most of it ends up going down the back of your throat anyway, so you are eating your own boogers whether you want to or not.

Pizza has been living rent free in my head all morning but I’m about to evict it and pay its moving expenses to take up residency in my stomach. I’m a generous landlord like that.

The food at my wedding sucked and my wife absolutely agrees. We wanted to just go with fun, simple food because we aren’t fancy so we did a mac and cheese bar and sliders and fries. The mac and cheese bar was good (hard to fuck that up) but the sliders were shitty cafeteria level that looked terrible and tasted so…

I was thinking Jim Croce because you know the rest of the song is about how big/strong/mean he was.
