Sorry George, in 2017, no one gets the benfit of the doubt anymore. Even my faves.

I would say “as good as it gets” probably doesn’t include waiting until there’s a NYT story (featuring your representatives denials) about it.

Except he never uses the word sorry. Remorseful, yes, but not “I’m sorry.”

Nah, man; it’s a breath of fresh air, to hear an admission, but “I’m sorry that I was so famous and popular, and they wanted it” is not much of an apology. It’s the best we’ve seen, still not good enough.

The power I had over these women is that they admired me.

I actually think this might be the way that many State’s citizens get around having a right wing governor who won’t expand Medicaid. Just have a ballot initiative.

Y’know, the thing about Stephen Miller, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’...

Wow, it’s almost like I’m a human with complex emotions!

Your final sentence is key. So important and so ignored of late...

She was the one I was rooting for the most in the VA elections, because god the poetic justice is just so fucking good.

I cried when I found out she won. What a beautiful “fuck you” to bigotry.

When I told my husband, he said, “Wow, like beat the shit out of him? That’s kind of awesome.” And I said no - beat him in the election. THEN WE CELEBRATED.

Gawd its good to get some good news!

Feckin’ A: we DID IT! I didn’t allow myself to look until 10pm to avoid stress. The knot in my chest I got listening to the inaugural speech so many hellish months ago just loosened a bit.

A trans woman defeating the guy who tried to pass a bathroom bill is the kind of poetic justice we need.

Fuck Yeah, Democrats! Celebrate tonight!

Not to hijack your thread, but Auntie Rachel is now reporting that both Virginia and New Jersey (New Jersey much closer) have picked up Democratic Governors! This is significant for several reasons, not the least of which is momentum for 2018 for The Resistance, but my favorite part of it means that the new New…

That sundowning is a real bitch for those late evening events. Way past his bedtime.

The GOP tax bill contains a provision aimed at grad school tuition waivers, to treat them as taxable income. So if you get a stipend of $20,000 and your tuition waiver is for $50,000, you would get taxed as though you’re making $70,000. Which would probably at least quadruple your tax burden.

Proud to say I voted straight Democrat ticket in Virginia today; hope enough others did as well to make Northam our next governor.
