Someone once said, that the thing about democracies is that they get the governments they deserve. Dumb crackers put this asshole in office, and they are going to get royally screwed by him and his cronies. My only regret is millions of innocent bystanders who are going to be shit on even harder.

The thing I miss the most? Both of us sometimes overheat at night, and the result is always nightmares. But when we’re together, the other one immediately wakes up, before the nightmare even gets bad or we realize we’re having one, shushes and comforts us, and we’re back asleep before we even knew what happened.

Is this the “spouses/partners about to reunite with their spouses/partners and realizing just how much they miss them” thread? Because I am here for this.

According to HuffPo, two more top aides were having conversations with Kislyak at that same Republican conference last summer.

The point HamNo seems to be making, and that you seem to be missing, is that there is an enormous and powerful faction within the Democratic Party — Clinton’s Third Way triangulators — that does not believe this at all. Here’s a former aide to Hillary Clinton and President Obama, talking about the protests after the…

I think you answered your own question: if Islam isn’t viewed as a religion, then “advancing Christianity” can be deployed as synonymous with “religious freedom.” It’s not religious favoritism if none of the disadvantaged religions are viewed as religions in the first place.

Man, I just watched 13th a couple days ago, and I am right there with you. I mean, I liked to think I had a rough grasp of just how racist the US is (my verdict: super fucking racist), but goddamn: it’s way worse even than that.

Watching all those dejected Hollywood people as La La Land gets impeached and I’m like

“It was self-defense!” GoFundMe going up in 3… 2…

It will not, because Republicans know better than to think that malicious prosecution and laws like this would ever be directed towards Real American Patriots.

Oh, there’s way more sad shit in Keanu’s life. (don’t click that link unless you want to spend the rest of your afternoon feeling bad about laughing at all those Sad Keanu memes).

I thought it was Tilda Swinton.

WHY DO YOU HATE MY HAPPINESS??

The one tiny sliver of relief for me in the face of this enormous civil rights disaster is watching Betsy Fucking DeVos eat a big steaming heap of shit (in the background: Sessions screaming, “FROM THIS HOLE”) right there on a very public stage for all to see (my Southern-adjacent upbringing whispering, right there in…

I like the part where she completely misconstrues what “safe spaces” are — adopting the reactionary right-wing definition of them, incidentally, as elitist bubbles undisturbed by challenging or rigorous thought — and then parrots the right-wing line for why they should be abolished.

First question: just how fucked are we?

Haha, oh WORD? Since the criticism evidently flew over your head, I’ll spell it out: if Katy Fucking Perry is what it takes for you to start maybe thinking a little bit about how the country you live in has built a system for your benefit based on the systematic oppression of all others, and the complaints of all…

“What justification do you have for refusing entry to a British citizen with a valid travel visa?”
“Our agents are given discretion to make determinations about potential threats to national security on a case-by-case basis. For the safety and security of the American Homeland, our brave heroes can refuse entry to…

But is it, though? I mean, if word gets around — nothing written, mind you, never written down — that agents are now free to do whatever it takes to defend US AMERICA from the flood of terr’rists coming in from all these terr’rist (read: “Muslin”) countries, and just happen to use their discretion at the security…
