I think I speak for all first children when I say you ALL can’t keep your damn mouths shut and probably shouldn’t be allowed to drive or vote

Exactly this. I grew up in MD (on the DC side) and my mom is from Mississipi. Slave land is slave land no matter where you are, and when I drive through my state to Baltimore or further north, I always imagine people like Frederick Douglass & Harriet Tubman taking some of these same routes but for very different…

What? My family’s from Florence. Also, cotton will shred the fuck out of your hands. We pulled seeds out of the bolls when we learned about slavery in Junior High. Imagine doing that for hundreds of pounds of cotton all day in the South. I actually cropped tobacco during the summer as a teenager. Fuck anyone who tries…

The HR rep or manager who tells you that nothing you say in a conversation will be relayed to the boss you hate, only for the boss you hate to open his big mouth and confirm that the HR rep or manager told him all the bad shit you said about him.

A thousand “recommends” to everything you just said...and your contribution to words that got verbed this decade (“bothsidesing”-shouts out to columbusing and adulting)

That vapid BS is how you ultimately get stuff like this:

I mean, the Nazi’s had some really good points, there were good people on both sides...

This. Someone sent me the video today, and my first thought was that he was “bothsidesing” the whole issue. I loved the concept, and the filming and opening which pull you in was pretty brilliant. But the drawing of the moral equivalency is just too distracting to be ignored.

That’s a lovely idea, except a very large chunk of the population cannot even come up with $1000 in an emergency, much less pay off debts.

No, they really believe it. As Pareene perspicaciously pointed out, Republicans used to sell magic elixirs to the public, but in doing so, they raised a new generation of Republican officeholders stupid enough to actually believe the bullshit that the Republican leaders of the past at least understood was bullshit in…

We are sooooooo transcendently fucked if anything bad happens economically.

Yes let’s trust the american people to do the right thing. (oh fuck)

They don’t believe it’ll help the economy one bit. As thick as they are, most of them are still bright enough to realize 40 years of Reaganomics has shown what a fucking joke it is.

If this is in earnest, I’m sorry.

Don’t bet on that.

“In the next few years, we’re either going to have an economic recession (like we do roughly once every ten years...”.like we do every time the Republicans gain any modicum of power over the economy.

Good thing both parties are the same right guys?
