And Pelosi played this terribly. Going all in on the Ukraine situation without knowing the facts, when Mueller and emoluments were right there all along.

The thing that Pelosi’s never seemed to understand was Trump was not going to stop committing impeachable offenses...

This, and also: What if the GOP sticking together on Trump could be used to, I dunno, fire up the base in Senate races across the country in 2020?

The thing that Pelosi’s never seemed to understand was Trump was not going to stop committing impeachable offenses. She apparently thought the Mueller investigation would either result in a clear enough case for impeachment that it would dramatically shift public opinion, or that it wouldn’t and then the issue would…

why are you guys like this

I don't know who is saying the former of those sentiments but they're wrong. They're always wrong. You can feel free to tell them they're wrong.

What’s it gonna take to get Stephens and Bari Weiss fired from the NYT? 

Maybe it’s because the rest of the news is a constant grind of awfulness, but I kind of love this ongoing slapfight between Actual College Professor and The Living Avatar Of The Dunning-Kruger Effect.

((EDIT: sry, I was wrong about facts, please ignore. all these shootings have started to blend into one long event.))

Couldn’t find a good guy with a gun in Midland-Odessa?

You have to be fucking kidding me.

Daniel Ortberg gives fantastic advice, I really enjoy reading DP now that Yoffe is no longer attached to it.

She is such a self-righteous shit-heel. When Daniel Ortberg took over Dear Prudence, it took me a long time to even think about reading the column, because all I knew it as was “that place where Emily Yoffe calls women sluts”. She’s a complete and utter Serena Joy who is so filled with fucking malice that she’ll…

Your explanation makes a lot of sense.

I used to read Dear Prudence and remember that while a lot of the advice was good, Emily Yoffee would go off the rails whenever anybody talked about rape or consent. It’s really odd that she would proactively choose write about rape and sexual harrassement stories in defense of the potential criminals. Even if she…

also because she remembered a 2013 story in which Yoffe baldly argued that college women should “stop getting drunk” to solve the problem of campus sexual assault.

Obama halved the Federal deficit from the catastrophic Bush years, the deficit is now back up to over a trillion (with a T) annually. Not a fucking peep from these mouth breathers before or after the black guy, but sure, it was about government spending. Who the fuck is running the NY Times?? Only in America could…

I realize that anecdotes aren’t the plural for data, but it’s been my experience with Boomers and Silents with power that this is the defining generational divide. Not to dismiss the racism and misogyny, at all. But whether we talk about Democrats or Republicans, people or who are pro or anti-structural racism,…

These people always sound so whiny when asked to do their damn jobs, even if it gets ugly.

Given today’s news, I wanted to voice my appreciation for this post that is decidedly not about sports.
