If I’m not mistaken, the ATF has been hamstrung for years because Congress refused to confirm the people who are supposed to run the show during the Obama admin. Same as with the FEC. And of all those 500+ appointments 45* has yet to make, you think he’s made Director of the ATF a priority?

This gif has been generally overused, but this is my EXACT reaction when I saw the video of Carson on Twitter today:

You’re eternally one of my faaaaaaves! Responsible commenting FTW!

I kinda hope she replies to him, because he has clearly not done his research and RSG is capable of destroying him in argument. But I’ll leave that to her - I almost replied, but it would bring him out of the grays, and I don’t want to be the responsible party.

I mean, would I rather have Pres Bartlett over the one who’s IRL in the Oval right now? Sure! But just barely... it was a (fictional) sexist administration that was super caught up in covering for its own scandals and didn’t accomplish much. President Santos OTOH...

I will (shamefully) admit I used to be the type who was like, “we have a socioeconomic imbalance in this country masquerading as a race issue” but like you, Trayvon Martin forced me to confront that no, actually we have a humungous problem with racism. And it wasn’t just the news coverage - it was people I considered…

Thanks for popping into the conversation with your particular perspective - it’s an interesting angle on this.

and Superstore is an awesome show that keeps getting better

mmmmmmm yeeessssss

This didn’t used to be a problem, but it IS NOW, and it’s circumstances like you describe where in my head I’m like OH CRAP and I play the pronoun game where I have to be careful not to address certain people by their first name

He DOES look better with facial hair...

LOLZ

oh dear.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think... Ben Feldman from Superstore?

I know all white guys look alike (even as a white woman myself, the older I get, the harder it is to tell them apart, and it’s becoming a REAL PROBLEM in my life, but I digress), but that’s, uh, not Milo Ventimiglia on the end, there...

I’m saying I don’t think a whole lot of thought and analysis went into it...?
