Meanwhile a massive conspiracy called “Wall Street” continues to extract massive amounts of wealth from our nation in plain view, and no one bats an eyelash.

I get the need to protect your intel assets, that’s obviously a top priority, but you can’t let the nation be driven off a cliff in the name of saving an asset. What are those assets worth if America ceases to be a democracy?

The problem is that American democracy only works as a partnership between the left and the right, one where both sides say, “We disagree on a lot, but we’re in agreement on the biggest, most important things.”

I believe the preferred nomenclature is “Freedom-man.”

They are an unholy alliance between the willfully obtuse and the abjectly credulous, united only by hatred.

That falls under “luck,” the ol’ genetic lottery, so to speak.

Is that a Georgia peach, specifically, the former Soviet republic of Georgia?

“Lasting impeachment, we meant lasting impeachment. ... Wait ... no wait, that’s not what we meant. Stop writing our words down! We meant ‘lasting impeachment.’ No, not impeachment, we meant impeach—dammit, this is unpresidented, er, that is, I meant to say...”

Doesn’t this nonsense remind you of all the dumb Vince Foster conspiracy theories? That was fun.

I’m just back after a monthlong blackout myself. It doesn’t help, you know that the shit is still happening, but now you’re ignorant of it.

They did turn on him, on the topic of immigration reform. Dubya proposed a surprisingly tolerable path to citizenship for immigrants that had Democrats at least intrigued that a compromise was possible and moderate Republicans briefly excited. Then Fox had a conniption about it and the moderate GOPers fled, killing…

Seriously, we should not be in charge of anything more complex than fantasy football.

Only one way to convince me, Trumpiekins: resign.

Genetic diversity is what makes a population vibrant and healthy. Cultural diversity works the same way. That’s why the word “meme” was invented, not to describe stupid internet jokes, but to examine how culture can propagate, change, recombine, just like genes. A stagnant culture, bereft of a variety of influences,…

Yeah, I can’t recall any prior instances where Trump’s name was linked to racism. This is an entirely new phenomenon.

A normal candidate during the campaign, upon discovering that he was being idolized by racists, would’ve said:

Any “praise” I direct to McCain and Graham is merely in the vein of noting that when Trump fucks the nation over 16 different ways before noon each day, John and Lindsey would’ve only fucked the nation over 12 times in the same timespan.

Exceptions to a generalization don’t disprove it if they’re small enough in number. So you and Bernie are cogent - that doesn’t mean there aren’t 100 senile geezers counteracting the wisdom you bring to the table. I know more than a few brilliant seniors myself - I’m in awe of their insight and intellects - but I also…

Brilliant comment, this should’ve been discovered and promoted hours and hours ago!

Both sides of the political divide have their wackadoo elements. Lord knows there are some batty liberals. The problem is that the right is being controlled by their nuttiest elements. These are people you can’t negotiate with, can’t reason with, can’t compromise with, because they refuse to do any of those things.
