Women are gaining on men because we have the freedom and disposable income to do as we please now. We had neither in the ‘good old days’.

Right but for most people, it doesn’t progress from 3 or 4 a week into finishing everyone else’s drinks and then downing nail polish remover. Can we at least concede that not everyone is an addict in the making? They just aren’t. This idea that anyone who ever drinks alcohol, especially if they do it to relax a…

That’s not what they’re doing. It’s just a silly/funny visual. God, some of you people are monumental killjoys. No wonder everyone around you has to be hammered all the time.

Exactly. Alcohol consumption is up across the board. No one group is specifically responsible or targeted.

No, it’s not bullshit. Booze is a lot of fun for grown ups who can moderate their intake. I’m sorry you can’t but that’s no justification for sitting in judgement of everyone else. A glass of wine three or four nights a week to relax is NORMAL adult human behavior. There is nothing pathological about it. It can…

Wine is cool. It’s wonderful, especially with good food. Sorry, but I’m not spending $50 on a beautiful entree at a great restaurant and downing it with something shitty like Diet Coke just because a bunch of nervous nellies are convinced that all women are three Chardonnays away from being Kitty Dukakis.

3 or 4 glasses a week is perfectly fine. A glass of wine to relax at night because life is hard (especially now for those of us trapped in the Nazi States of America) is NORMAL. Acting like that is alcoholism is what’s not normal. We all know alcoholism when we see it and it ain’t 3 or 4 glasses of wine a week.

Reading the list of people Mueller has hired is what convinced me that there’s a fuck ton of fire behind the smoke. He’s a very conservative guy who doesn’t fly off the handle or like to waste resources. To bring in so many people with such specialized skills so quickly means that he’s seeing all kinds of damning shit…

Me too. Why can’t we go back to the days when being stupid meant you kept your fucking mouth shut and let the grown ups do the talking?

Sure, we’re all guilty to some degree. But don’t you dare compare the average person who can only afford shit from Walmart, made in Chinese sweatshops, because the Rethugs refuse to mandate increased wages or benefits with Ivanka Trump choosing to make huge profits off of slave labor or people who directly and…

Exactly.

Bullshit. I try to research and avoid sweat shop goods as much as I can, but there’s only so much I can afford and only so much research anyone can do. Only those making decisions about where shit gets made can stop this. Not us.

Actually, it was. The stupid assholes are thrilled about this.

I will punch anyone who still has the nerve to say that “Hillary would’ve been just as bad” so hard they’ll be shitting their own teeth, especially if they don’t even fucking live here and don’t have to deal with the consequences.

I’m close to the Canadian border too but I’m nervous about going over. I’m not nervous about going to Canada but I’m a little scared about dealing with our psychotic neo-Nazi border people while coming back.

I agree that he’ll never lose his hard core supporters but he is losing ground with independents, whites, the uneducated, and mainstream Republicans. There’s plenty of room for him to go down.

Well then, these numbers are worthless. He’s gotten so much worse since then. I have to imagine his disapproval rating is over 90% across Europe, Japan, and China. He might not even be that popular in Russia anymore.

Believe me, most Americans are terrified too. I’m also glad I have no kids or I’d be an even bigger nervous wreck than I already am. I’ve lost a lot of sleep over my nephew having to grow up in this sick world now though.

I’m cool with that. It can’t be worse than what we’ve done to ourselves.

That’ll just make him more popular in Russia.
