I know the people at Orlando Food Not Bombs (an amazing organization that has repeatedly won tough legal fights) and they will be the first to tell you that this is how it starts.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

That moment when being a trust-fund kid who has the ability to wax poetic about a system they’ve never taken the time to understand is suddenly meant to be a legitimate worldview.

Holy fuck. Do you have any idea how committees function? Do you have any idea how the basic branches of government are intended to work?

Do…

You’re much more nuanced than I was in my comment. +1

This is some weak ass bullshit. The Democrats had no power. We’ve known since Kennedy retired that this was a losing battle, but it was a battle that the Democrats had to fight. They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made, and they lost, which was absolutely to be expected. This loss was…

Oh fuck this.

Instead, Democrats put all their chips on an investigation by the FBI—an inherently evil organization which they have no control over. They could have gone right after Kavanaugh during his hearing. They could have questioned him, over and over again, about his drinking. They could have questioned him, over and over…

fuck off troll

Subhuman... well, you’ve got the Nazi lingo down.

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

Remember when a lot of liberals and independents said that a single Supreme Court opening wasn’t enough of a justification for them to vote for Hillary because something, something, being inspired, something, sticking it to the establishment, something, perpetuating the status quo?

Like it or not, there’s no feasible way to change the two party system. Doing so would require a massive reworking of the Constitution, and going down -that- road is extremely dangerous. If you don’t believe me, look how many right wing nutjobs are busy pushing for a Constitutional Convention to do just that (and are…

Agree for 2 reasons. The biggest one is that its not like the budget issue is off the table, we only extended it 3 weeks. We can still shut down the government if we are still nowhere with DACA, but this time the GOP can’t hold CHIP hostage or use it in bad faith to muddy the waters.

Same. This is why far lefties make such crappy allies. The GOP took two hostages. We saved one and now we can focus on saving the other but the purity ponies were jonesing for a shutdown. THAT was their goal. Not the Dreamers or CHIP. They wanted the drama. To hell with the policy or the nine million people who were…

You know what you call eastern Washington? Western Idaho.

That explains how I was looking at the mailbox when my Amazon order was supposedly delivered and saw no one come to the house. It was in the mailbox the next day.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

Could we get an edit on that headline and remove the word “captured”? She was a young girl, not an escaped convict or an animal that needed to be picked up somewhere. She was not captured. She was abducted. She was kidnapped and murdered.

I can’t imagine that the solution might be to levy a progressive income tax that ensures millionaires and the like are paying their fair share rather than a laughable pittance.
