Don’t worry. That Asshole is about midway through frontotemporal dementia. He won’t be able to do much of anything in another year or two.

flag and dismiss that racist asshole in the greys please.

The Daily Beast had a really good article last week about how this whole mess was not some Russian psych-out committed by criminal masterminds: it was something we did to ourselves.

1 “We can’t impeach now because it’ll die in the Senate”
2 It’ll die in the Senate because Senators’ reelection isn’t imperiled if they vote against impeachment.
3 Their reelection isn’t imperiled because their voters don’t support impeachment.
4 Because thus far they’ve only heard the GOP narrative, which is NO…

It’s scarier when you realize that, even taking the conservative estimate, 25% of the US population is over 80 million people. That’s comparable to the entire population of Germany.

A helpful FAQ on whether you should punch that Nazi:

There is a certain edifying clarity that comes from living in these, our fallen times: you begin to see that the country is riddled, mostly through its upper (not just tippy-top) classes, with borderline sociopaths, seething misogynists, neo-monarchists, high-key racists, and outright fascists.

Like Betsy DeVos and other rich fucks like her, they view these sorts of things with utter contempt. It’s just one more fly to bat aside while they get on with the real business of holding power, which is to loot the treasury and dismantle the arms of public governance.

Fun Fact: Milstead’s big breakout was going to be the sassy neighbor on Married, With Children. We were all heartbroken we never got to see it.

Radical leftist professor determined to stick it to the squares by [*checks notes*] hosting a film festival of Waters’ oeuvre. Since Divine was Waters’ muse, they were both in attendance.

My mother, whose litmus test for dates I brought home was to whip out the family photo album and their cherished picture of my father beaming in between Waters and Divine (the failure to appreciate which on the part of my date inevitably led to subtle hints from my parents to keep my options open, there are other…

Warren, because she has many of his same politics, but she actually backs it up with legislation and solid policy proposals. I’m fine with Bernie’s politics, mostly, but 1) he would preside over an absolute bloodbath if he were the nominee, and 2) he’s the wrong messenger, and 3) his appearance on RT’s “Friends of…

TL;DR: because he is a dyed-in-the-wool white-guy Marxist-Leninist, and even despite marching in the 60s and even getting his ass arrested protesting racism, he still views these issues through the lens of the Marxist-Leninist politics he adopted in the late 60s.

word. The Olds are soooo stoked that we finally have a not-snowflake in the race.

The thing to do now is not to throw away our shot voting for a woman radical, but to recognize that America is just a conservative country and the best way to unite the country is to put a candidate out there who stands for things all Americans agree on: deregulation, tax cuts, “family values,” and mercenary foreign…

Sanders’ message is fine, but he’s the wrong messenger (among many other problems; I hear the oppo on him is horrific, and I’m virtually certain that if he’s the nominee we’ll lose the WH, House, and Senate in a landslide. Also, never forget that he’s very likely a Russian tool). If you like his message, Warren is putt…

which is weird because That Asshole doesn’t actually tweet out stuff himself, per Cohen’s testimony. He has an assistant do it. At the start, he would hand-write the stuff. Now, I expect he just yells it from the shitter.

It might surprise you to learn (it should not) that the United States — like most places in the world in these, our fallen times — is a place in which the rich, famous, and powerful almost never face any consequences for their misconduct, and often lead staggeringly corrupt lives without ever imagining that they might…

Gotta say, Warren was my wonk-crush ever since she set up the CPFB, and then I was kinda meh about her candidacy announcement because it was a bit to focus-groupy and on-message, but now I’m back to stanning her candidacy. She’s sticking her neck out here, when it counts. 

Nobody who voted for Stein (looking at you, smug GMG jackasses) should ever be allowed to forget this picture.
