I don’t know when, or even if, Dems will learn this lesson. After everything, they still want to play by Queensberry Rules, when the opposition is using memetic warfare, shivs implanted into shoe heels and satellite-based missile strikes. 

I can’t help but feel Trumpers especially look at the government and think “oh, that’s a big piggy bank and law firm and military just ripe for me to take and make my own!” with no concept that it is for public use. They want to take all the pennies because they are there and leave none.

I can’t feel anything but heartbreak for the people experiencing the power outage. Being cold and in the dark is just about the most primal fear and discomfort a sentient being can experience. Many people are going to die of exposure, many more are going to die of CO poisoning.

Midterm game plan:

People who are against any sort of student debt forgiveness (who largely, but not entirely vote Republican) will hate him for even talking about student debt relief, regardless of whether or not it comes to pass.

He and I didn’t have different political views. He had vastly different ideas of morality, where denigrating women, members of the LGBTQ community, POC, and Michael J. Fox of all people, simply for the fact of existing and wanting to be heard, was a positive act and something to be celebrated.

My favorite Rush Limbaugh story: in 1996 Al Franken published his book Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations. As you would expect, Rush was not pleased by the book, title and all.

According to Lending Tree as of January of this year, $10,000 cancellation will wipe out 35% of all current student debt and knock off at least 40% of another 27% — which accounts for 62% of all debt.

Being against college debt relief seems so short sighted, especially for the type of republican who only thinks about the “economy” Relieving student debt can only be good for the economy. People who were drowning in debt they would never pay off could fully participate, buy homes, buy other stuff, start a family, but…

Just going to say this... My career is in the realm of student financial assistance. It’s been 15 years. I learned from some of the best, people who have worked in such programs since before the Pell Grant existed. I know what the HEA says inside and out, and what it was meant to do. ALL STUDENT LOANS SHOULD BE…

Look, there’s a lot of strategies you can employ for student loan debt. Canceling some or all the debt, allow for bankruptcies (I mean honestly... buy a boat you can’t afford and you can get relief but buy an education and it’s FUCK YOU? How does that make sense?), or allow for refinancing just to name a few. I can’t…

‘As a black conservative’

I for one have never understood why people find it unseemly to celebrate someones death. Limbaugh was a grade-A asshat, and helped to create the dystopian truthless environment we now live in. We should all be grateful he died youngish, and won’t be able to poison peoples minds for another 20 years. There is no doubt…

He died as he lived, with angry hateful screaming supporters.

I’m glad to hear lung cancer has won its battle with Rush Limbaugh.

I don’t like to shit on Texas as a whole because I’ve got well educated, progressive friends who live there and cannot change the political culture all by themselves, but seriously, when the leadership of the state says, “It’s not OUR fault that you’re cold! It’s the responsibility of a woman in her thirties who lives…

They learned that running for national office is a license to print money with a million loopholes to cover your tracks. I guarantee you the Trump family will be using their political campaigns as huge money laundering operations. 

Gig economy “disrupters” are going to fucking get us all killed.
