Jean Chrétien was by no means a favourite of mine but he was fucking savage to GW Bush during his presidency. Trudeau needs to take a page from that book.

Probably because he absolutely knows it’s best for the country, including all those that voted for him. And he’s a decent person.

Obama’s staff are Democratic party staffers. None of them would take the job. The Republicans wouldn’t let Trump make the offer in view of the very reasonable fear of letting a fox into the hen house in terms of leaks to the press or to the Democratic opposition.

If I could shut out all the deniers and gaslighters in my life I would not be in my line of work or even in North America. This is on white people and it’s my mess to clean up as well. I’m here to look at the ugliness and call it out - on my wall - not theirs, because the proportion of these folks is overwhelming. …

Unfriend, block or delete ur acct. do not expose yourself to such poison.

Hillary’s candidacy meant a lot of things to a lot of people— many of them women who have been consistently passed over in their professional lives in favor of less qualified men. It seems really shitty to mock people for feeling badly for her, much less to make the ridiculous assertion that such feelings are the…

True, but there are more registered voters now than there was in 2008 or 2012. As a percentage of total possible voters turnout was down this year.

Orly? that’s what Bouncing Betty’s response is to you? prioritizing Hillary’s ‘feelings’? how about a demand for some fucking justice.

IMO the Democrats got crushed for several reasons:

I discussed Comey with my husband last night. So do we just pretend he never did anything or...? If nothing happens, does this sort of tampering become the norm?

I don’t think it changed the mind of anyone who voted on Tuesday but I would suspect it affected voter turn out for her.

This is exactly how to explain Benghazi to people, in the mythical scenario where you could have a chance of changing a person’s mind.

I’ll start worrying about Obama’s accountability, when the GOP starts worrying about all the times they stopped him from fixing stuff.

I can’t blame a fireman for not putting out a fire when the town wouldn’t buy him a firetruck. Which is basically the only explanatory analogy anyone needs for Benghazi, but for some…

Why do you think Bill has mistreated women, other than this single allegation? I am genuinely curious. I read the recent Monica Lewinsky interview and she makes it really clear that everything she did was consensual. She really does not want to be painted as a victim of Bill Clinton, although she is clearly a victim…

No, but she does have a lifelong history of public service. It’s interesting to me that the perception is that HRC took on Universal Healthcare because she wanted the power that came with it, and not because she was genuinely interested in using her abilities to actually help people. Personally, I believe she was…

The electorate also elects alternate delegates to fill in when floor delegates—for whatever reason—are unable to fulfill their duties. So another delegate (representing the same candidate) could have easily acted as a substitute.

You realize that people are arrested and put in jail based on just accusations, right? If you can deprive someone of their freedom based on accusations I’m pretty sure you can kick them out of a hotel.

She probably wants them to promptly investigate, make a determination as to whether it’s more likely it happened than not, and then act accordingly. The DNC is a private organization and he has no legal entitlement to being a delegate, so whatever process they feel like giving him is the only process to which he’s…

Not sure how you can just toss someone out of a hotel based on an accusation. So if I get in an argument with someone I can just have them booted by accusing them of assault? I would think some video corroboration would be necessary at the least.
