That’s kind.

I actually agree with this point. Having lost family members to the Holocaust—of one branch of the extended family, only two individuals survived the camps—I know that there is no rational conversation on this topic. The horror and the grief and the rage are so immense (and should be) that it seems obscene to impose…
The Republican base hates Hawaii almost as much as it hates Chicago, for the same reason: President You Know Who lived there.
In the case of Pence, there’s also possibility C: couldn’t care less about women, not interested, never have been, never gonna be, but I’m a-gonna ride this Dominionist horse all the way to the finish line, and by gum we all know God doesn’t like the womenfolk any better than I do, but He likes for us to talk about…
Always impressive, the sheer level of slimy, unhinged, vicious malice that spews out of the crew that once had a six-month national tantrum based on the fact that Hillary Clinton said some mean words about Nazis and Ku Kluxers.
As with Roger Ailes, Rupert doesn’t want it to happen: his baby sharks James and Lachlan do.
The WSJ used to be notorious for its horrid editorial page and its better-than-average journalism, but that distinction has dwindled since old Rupert acquired the paper, with the news side now often being very nearly as grotesquely slanted as the opinion side.
The New York Times—which, incidentally, just hired ultra-reactionary climate denialist Bret Stephens away from Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal in order to “both-sides” its climate coverage, and which just ran a puff piece lauding the greatness of Fox’s predatory Bill O’Reilly (not unlike their earlier, fawning…
Dear God, these Republicans. This “Hitler wasn’t so bad” madness goes way, way back, of course—the line used to be “why is everybody always screaming about Hitler? why aren’t you screaming about Stalin and Mao, too?”—and goodness knows the basic sentiment surely has a place in the White House of a man whose first wife…
This fish is definitely rotting from the head down. Here’s some insight into Oscar Munoz, the man who runs this clusterfuck of an airline, a man who looks in the mirror every morning and says, “John Galt is ME!”
Welp, it’s time for people like Sean Hannity to take to the airwaves once again to declare indignantly that the US healthcare system is (or was, before the Kenyan Usurper!) the “best in the world,” and that in places like Canada and Great Britain and France and other tragic failed societies where hard-working, decent,…
What a lovely thing to say.
Everything I know about housework—which is virtually nothing at all— I learned from my mother, who had grown up with servants, but who then married my father, a poor academic, and had to do her own cooking, cleaning, ironing, laundering, and child-rearing from then on.
As James Thurber once observed, “early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy and wealthy and dead.”
The die was pretty much cast by 1913, with the passage of the Revenue Act that included the first oil depletion allowance—the first major fossil fuel subsidy written into law by bought-and-paid-for members of Congress, who were already, even then, more than a century ago, wholly owned by the oil boys. It’s been…
Yes. People who are all about “running government like a business” tend to ignore the fact that it was businessmen running business like a business who nearly took down the world economy in 2008, costing tens of millions of human souls their jobs, their homes, and their pensions, destabilizing the global economy and…
Manafort, a long-time Republican operative and dark money grifter, is particularly horrifying. His daughter Andrea—in an obvious state of trauma— texted her sister Jessica about their father, saying that he had “no moral or legal compass.”
There are two options when it comes to God and rape: either there is no God, in which case the evil that happens is random, and we operate under the urgent imperative to be moral beings in a universe of random evil; or else there is a God, and he is a total dick.
What’s disturbing about Nunes is what’s disturbing about all the dark money Republicans nowadays. They act as though, controlling everything, funded by men with limitless cash and apparently limitless power, they have nothing to fear from exposure, from constitutional order itself.
