Jesus Christ. One tiny upshot to this whole national embarrassment is that I now know, without a doubt, that I am not nearly as socially awkward and embarrassing as I thought I was.

Is he not or is he a business man?

Hello. I’m not American. Can someone tell me why America thought it was a good idea to make a functionally illiterate man with severe personality disorders the President of the United States of America?

Okay but can we keep some of the Revolutionary War era cosplay? That way we can attract the Hamilton stans and also I personally like tricorn hats.

This feels a lot like the beginning of the tea party, only younger, less white, less hateful, and less Revolutionary War era cosplay.

Every damn day he does something to remind me of Yeats’ The Second Coming:

Side note: Black Widow may be just a boring human, but marvel has shown that they can get behind a story with just a human (ahem Daredevil). If anything, a Black Widow movie could be a spy thriller on steroids. And people will see that. They keep seeing those Bond films- so why not a black widow movie?

And here’s where she tells the truth:

What does this one do for you, tho?

That picture tho...gross.

“always pushing me to do the right thing”

I just heard my senator, Dick Durbin, on MSNBC. Apparently Sen. Warren, with her popularity and articulateness (is that a word?) gets under the Repubs skin like no one else in the senate. So it was personal.

because it might give them pause for a second and make them consider who the fuck they have actually become.

I personally am more pissed about the lazy, hate-filled, greedy, American pussies that vote for these shitsticks every god damned election.

Right, a letter that was, in fact, written for. a. Sessions. Senate. confirmation.

Invoking rule 19 is completely insane for a confirmation hearing. But even putting that aside for a second, how is reading a letter from Coretta Scott King impugning his character? Like, how?

Here is a link to a PDF of the letter from Coretta Scott King. Please fax it to Mitch’s office with the header “Nevertheless, She Persisted.” His fax number is (202) 224-2499, and you can use HelloFax or any other free faxing service to send it from your computer.

I’m amazed by this. How the fuck you gonna use Rule 19 during a confirmation hearing of a sitting senator? It’s absolute bullshit.

This is obviously horrible. But I doubt it will have any effect. The republicans don’t even need to pretend to care anymore, optics be damned. I mean they showed us who they are a million times and their asses still got re-elected.
