Sounds a bit like descriptions of the Führerbunker.

Who’s taking bets on whether Trump’s last acts in the White House will be defecating in every room and on every surface he can?

Fuck you.

What the FUCK?

The first claim is tenuous, but the second is an out-and-out lie. Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer – every Democrat with a national platform AND in a position of party leadership has insisted they do not support “defunding the police”. The surge of support from the base never translated into pushing party…

If only AOC and The Squad hadn’t talked about socialism, this guy would have voted for Biden.

... so you don’t think moderate Democrats should be pointing fingers at progressives?

You don’t get to back the side that started in with the blame game and then say “now isn’t the time to criticize”. You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth on this.

I’m about 85% sure you’re talking to a concern troll.

Trump supporters in my state are demanding a recount. Okay, that’s nothing remarkable... if my state were not Rhode Island.

Biden won by over 20 points. We only have 4 electoral votes, and the last time we voted for a Republican was in 1984. We didn’t even vote for Reagan the first time around.

These people are…

Maybe he’ll be shot while resisting attempts by the Secret Service to remove him from the White House.

A guy can dream.

The polls were wrong, yeah, but there were a lot more voters this time around. In fact, we’re on track to have the highest turnout of any election as a percentage of eligible voters since records have been kept; both sides were more motivated to vote than they’ve ever been–and thankfully, enough of them resided in…

It wasn’t the blowout we desperately wanted, but it’s enough for now.

But the fact that over 70 million people voted to re-elect Donald Trump over a moderate Democrat with only (for politician standards) a minimal amount of baggage (and what he does have is possessed in kind by Trump a hundredfold) is something that is…

Shamed right into a paid gig on any number of conservative outlets, just like every other right-winger who has claimed it’s impossible for conservatives to express themselves freely.

Taking inspiration from King Johnson, I go with a nice, simple “ok” the instant it becomes clear the person is just talking to hear themselves talk.

According to every social media profile of an “uneducated and proud of it” type, it’s called a degree from the School of Hard Knocks, University of Life.

Also from Rhode Island, and while I respect the effort, it’s really not even the same thing. I get why people are upset about it, but the name has absolutely nothing to do with slavery. It’s not even in the same league as Confederate “memorials” (can we please just call them Lost Cause propaganda pieces?). The most…

I think the main issue they had was that the change grandfathered in lifetime certifications. Which, fair point. But the board he created ended up being a joke (its members were him, his wife, and his father-in-law), and it was pretty quickly abandoned, then restarted, then abandoned again.

Paul is apparently good at…

He’s an ophthalmologist. He’s apparently a good one – which in no way makes him qualified as an epidemiologist or infectious disease specialist, but I’m sure he thinks it does.

I don’t know why anyone still listens to him. His own Republican colleagues probably hate his guts.

I like Baron Cohen quite a bit, but I do agree that the time for a character like Borat has come and gone. There’s no rot left to expose. A solid 40% of the country is loudly screaming that they love the rot and want it to stay forever. They’re no longer bothering to say the quiet part quietly.

It’s not “unbiased”. It’s amateurish. There’s really nothing remotely scientific or, more importantly, even internally consistent about it. It’s a garbage site.

The Guardian gets things wrong, but it is generally wrong within the expected degree. They have failed to verify information before publishing (which is not a…

Exactly. This is how local commercial interests become unassailably entrenched, and it’s why, in a democratic society, “small government” ends up being more corrupt and more beholden to those interests than “big government” ever could be.

Republicans aren’t in favor of “small government”; the very notion is based on a…

Neurochemistry is ridiculously complicated. Go figure!

I’ve been on generic Zoloft for a while now. It’s helped quite a bit with my anxiety (the depression has been kept under control with therapy more than anything else), and it’s a heck of a lot better than the Effexor I had been taking. Those brain zaps were…
