just here to say how much I loathe the new intentional walk rule

Agreed, but sometimes it’s so fitting

When Paul Ryan uses social safety nets to go to college and prevent his family from sliding into poverty, it’s totes different. Everyone else is a lazy asshole who is a parasite to the taxpayers.

He supports free-market solutions for people with autism. Like...uhhhh...private companies taking the place of medicaid and disability assistance, I guess. Or churches doing it or whatever or...look, just shut up and read Atlas Shrugged, ok? It explains it all in there.

This image seems to make me laugh (guiltily) with no end

Guys, Trump has done the impossible and made me nostalgic for Bush. I would gratefully trade him into the office of President in a heartbeat. That is how bad things are. And it pisses me off that Trump is making Bush, who was an AWFUL president, be whitewashed with positive sentiment. But here we are.

Chris Hayes showed this photo last night and I have not stopped laughing at Cheetolini!

I agree wholeheartedly. That said, I hope she does not run in 2020 (and the same goes for Bernie and Biden). We need new blood.

Was never a fan of her, but I proudly voted for her, and whenever I stop and think about how things went down I get really angry. Especially in light of this Russia bullshit.

You’re not wrong, but people hate change, especially when it requires effort on their part. I have in-laws in the dwindling auto industry, and the tenacity with which they hang on to it instead of pursuing new ideas is a bit breathtaking. They’ll go down with the ship and call themselves American Patriots® before they…

Not everyone has the means or desire to just pick up and leave where they are, and coal mining may be the only choice they have if they want to make a living wage.

Yeah but coal mining is pretty sweet if you own a coal mining company.

I’m not an expert, and not out to insult anyone, but isn’t coal mining a “bad” job in a lot of ways? Like the pay is bad, you can get black lung, it’s very unsafe other reasons that are escaping me now.

It’s honestly emboldened white people in general (disclosure: white person, here).

One really sick part about this whole thing is that this is how A LOT of white people talk when no one else is around. The Trump era has made people think this is OK to not only say while at home, but on national television. People need to be publicly shamed for saying shit like this.

Maxine Waters is a national treasure and hero. Her vote against the Iraq War Resolution in 2002 will confer upon her a legacy of being one of the few politicians of the era of courage and conscience.

Oh, my pleasure! Here’s a bonus round.

Remember when we used to say we were embarrassed that George W Bush was our President....?
