Goddamn, I will never forget when Dubya first took us to war, and my friend with a real job had cable (ooooohhhh) and we were going to go into Iraq with “Shock and Awe.” And I shit you not, it was like 45 minutes of a dark night sky with some commentator praying to the Pulitzer that SOMETHING was going to happen.…

Up to and including the corporate backers. Comcast had to be talked OUT of giving money to this shit. Both documentaries really give you the view of how much stupidity there was to go around. Everyone was like “dur, millenials” but they got their money from idiot non-millenials. 

This from the father of the shutdown. History has a weird sense of humor. 

This fucking reads like that quasi-softcore Christian porn that was rampant in the Left Behind series. 

I have a far lower net worth than the Trump children. I’d take any one of those fuckers in a battle of wits. 

It also would have been cool if they’d listened to the logistics people who said “sleeping in tents in the Bahamas this time of year is a terrible idea.” Or anyone, really.

After having watched the Fyre Festival documentaries, we clearly don’t tax the rich anywhere near enough. First of all, they were dumb enough to fall for that shit, and second of all, once there, they were all about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Tax the SHIT out of them.

Please annex Minnesota when you build your wall. We already have Tim Hortons, ice fishing and hockey. We’re basically Canadians right now. 

Yes, let’s have a discussion about where Jesus would land on Universal Healthcare. Because he sure as shit didn’t stop and say “no, I’m sorry, that’s a preexisting condition, and you haven’t met your deductible yet. And this is considered experimental, sooo....”

Bible literacy? Great! You and your followers first! Pay special attention to how Jesus rampaged against your Wall Street types, how he had little time for the people who were ostentatiously pious while being shitty to the lepers, and who was it he hung out with again? Oh yeah, poor folks. I would also like them to…

There’s a fair amount of crossover. 

As someone preparing to send my toddler to a Spanish immersion daycare tomorrow, I’m damn thankful they don’t “just assimilate.” What does assimilate really mean anyway? I’m the product of illegal Celtic immigration and I play bagpipes, and I might have had a haggis recently. Does that mean I’m not assimilated? Oh,…

Color me shocked.... that it wasn’t Marcus Bachmann. 

Sending condolences from Ilhan’s district.

It’s real fuckin’ easy to talk about “should have known better” when it’s someone else. I bet if this was affecting them materially, their tune would change. 

Dude, my husband is an engineer and I’m a nurse. We are fairly responsible with our money, keep our credit cards paid off, and have sterling credit. We could maybe absorb 1 month of no pay for ONE of our jobs, but two months would stretch us to the breaking point. And that’s assuming no major calamity happened just…

Yeah, those 2% raises each year sure do make it all worthwhile. What the actual fuck? 

Bitch, please. If you had to wait an additional 10 minutes to be seated for your dinner reservation, you’d probably go full Karen and need a manager IMMEDIATELY. You who can barely tolerate any inconvenience in your life is going to lecture all of us about taking our “little bit of pain.” 

I would also like to point out that Roosevelt High School is in such a rough neighborhood. I mean, sometimes that artisan cupcake shop down the street might run out of cupcakes, and there’s only ONE gluten free bakery. Oh, and only two places that brew their own beer. I mean seriously, it’s so goddamned dangers. For…

Yeah, did a cursory glance of schools on that list in Minnesota and Wisconsin (two states I have a resident’s knowledge of). The schools on the list come from pretty affluent areas. One of the Wisconsin schools is situated in one of the hottest tourist areas in the state, and is full of property owners from Illinois…
