Ah, yes, fighting the War on Christmas is just like living in Aleppo.

I don’t really give a shit about the wall either. You know who actually gives a shit? The ranchers who border the rio grande. You can’t build the wall on Mexico’s side of the rio grande, so you have to build it on our side and cut off the rancher’s access to the river. Should be very interesting...

I’m much more concerned about the sanctuary cities than the wall. Yes, the wall is a stupid waste of money and rude, but I don’t see it doing serious damage to the country (I might not know enough about the issue, though).

Nice trolling. The way the Republicans won is thru divide and conquer. The Dems are a minority and can only get shit done if they cut deals with the few Republicans that aren’t total nut cases.

No, and again, were it me, I would have voted “No.” (Unfortunately, no one’s elected me to Congress, so I have to backseat legislate!) But I do think they’re limited in how much opposition airtime they can get. I think they’re limited in how much they can complain and fight without everyone getting bored and turning…

That’s fair and I agree. Would I have voted to okay him? No. Am I going to immediately declare that Elizabeth Warren is a fake progressive. No. Do I hope that people extend Cory Booker the same courtesy (for a far less high-stakes vote made for a far more understandable reason)? Yes.

I hope this is a reminder to everyone on the left that we pick and choose our battles, and that symbolic votes/victories don’t really matter. Carson was going to be confirmed anyway, she’d do better to stake a big, big fight on Puzder, whose future is far less certain in my eyes.

A very eye opening experience, that vaginal ultrasound was! When the ultrasound technician dude handed me a wand with a condom on it as I lay on a medical table, I just looked at him cluelessly. We locked eyes for a minute too long as i held it in my hand. He looked confused as I did for a second, then said, “Oh yah,…

Ultrasound as a cultural phenomenon rather than a scientific tool is a really important concept to understand. My mother, who had her first two kids in the mid-70s (no ultrasound) and second batch of kids in the 80s (ultrasound), told me that she was strongly pro-choice until she saw her first ultrasound. After that,…

The alternative fact of the matter is that he won 95% of the total votes and his approval rating is higher than an adorable kitty hiding in a box of packing peanuts

I just drooled all over my keyboard.

Ironically, this looks like a dish from Cracker Barrel.

My best friend was a guy I knew since age 12. After about 30 years of almost daily contact, I moved 2 states away. We were reduced to increasingly rare phone conversations and my occasional visits back. One thing that always made us both laugh was no matter how much time passed, whenever we spoke again, it was like…

But what the fuck is even the big deal about that comment? She asked a question. There’s absolutely no hostility in there at all. Just a curious person looking to explore something of interest to them.

Exactly! Sometimes I star comments that I don’t agree with completely (although I won’t star anything offensive because duh), because they’re worthwhile opinions and thoughts to have when engaging in discussions/debates. We can learn from people who don’t think exactly like us. What a concept!

Right. This is needless cruelty. I’ve been commenting here off an on for a lot of  years (yes, I always use a burner, I don’t care about being a ‘regular’) and this was shocking. Writers have butted heads with readers, editors have jumped in these comments to call us foolish, dimwitted and other shite but to publicly…

Even though I agree with almost everything that Kara, Clover and Rich said in this post, it’s beyond unprofessional for Kara to do that. As you said, it wasn’t attacking or mean-spirited! I just don’t get it. If you want to go after commenters, go after the many that spew hateful bullshit everywhere! Not the ones that…

So one of your writers can screencap and openly mock a commenter that didn’t even attack her personally but you guys are deleting every single comment that disagrees with you? OK.

True, maybe we should have gone with an Asian Jackie O.
