I’m proud to say I have not hesitated to burn a bunch of relationships by calling people pieces of shit for their mealy-mouthed defense of this outrage. I do not regret it, nor will I miss a single one of those motherfuckers from my personal life.

No. I’m citing John Schindler. Not the same. 

right. So the part where he’s living in an SVR safe-house, outside of Moscow, with a Russian wife, that doesn’t set off alarm bells? Look, I’m sure Snowden might have meant well at the beginning, but 1) he had no idea what all the stuff he took was, and 2) if he meant well at the beginning, he’s no longer master of…

which part exactly?

No. Don’t get me wrong: I would love for her to make a run for higher office than the House. But I have deep antipathy towards anything that smacks of throwing yourself at a flashy rhetoritician. Obama was a great orator, but his foreign policy was a disaster and his domestic police, aside from the singular…

Nah. I’ve looked into the eyes of enough callow failures to know that that’s the look of a deeply shitty person who is barely concealing a seething hatred beneath a thin veneer of normalcy. He’s not trying to take a hit for the team. He’s the kind of guy who’s just waiting for his shot; and as we saw with this…

This is, not to put too fine a point on it, some bullshit. First of all, Marcus Aurelius was a member of the noble class in one of the most despotic and unequal societies we have. It’s easy for him to shrug off the insults of other people, because they don’t challenge his fundamental privilege.

PSA: as this article points out, it’s important to use clear language when describing neo-Nazi fuckery. Neo-Nazis went to Charlottesville to start a riot. They are going to try to start a riot in Lafayette Park. They always do this shit, and then lie about it. Why? Two reasons: 1) by starting a riot, they can…

ETA: as my friend in the gay community also pointed out, there’s a couple Title VII cases making their way through the lower courts, too. So expect workplace protections for LGBTQI to go out the window as well.

Don’t forget Obergefell.

Same. These last couple weeks have been fucking awful.

PSA: DO NOT REPLY to that Stanek dipshit. He’s just a troll. Dismiss with vigor.

Yes, but those two also had decades of experience behind them, including decades in elected office. It’s not just serving in Congress (and despite Speaker of the House putatively being the most powerful position in all three branches, presidential candidates don’t typically come from the House), it’s having time to…

The recent unpleasantness has made me allergic to voting for neophyte presidents.

One correction: I’d argue that Kennedy was the deciding vote. Let’s not forget: Gorsuch replaced Antonin Fucking Scalia; do you seriously think Scalia would have voted differently in any of these cases? Or would have refrained from being an absolute dick about each and every one of them?

Alas! in real life Michael J. Anderson has turned into the raving “alt-right” shitposting loon that (spoiler) Jacoby turned out to be in S3. He apparently absolutely hates Lynch and his films, and spends his time on facebook accusing Lynch of raping his own daughter. 

*swoon*

OH! There actually is also some unambiguously good news in this shitshow! Here, because I love you and want you to be happy:
