That is what puts you at a disadvantage. The rich are very clear on the fact that you are their enemy, but you insist on believing they are not yours.

The question is, will this outrage subside when it’s a Dem in the White House even if the policy continues? Or has the left learned its lesson this time?

This enthusiasm for preemptive surrender among liberals is why conservatives keep winning. Conservatives never surrender. No matter how futile the effort, no matter how great the odds, they stand up and demand a white supremacist country where women, workers, and LGBT+ have no rights. And because the Democrats never…

He reads and learns. And he reads scholars from across the political spectrum.

He sounds like the kind of guy who has really specific opinions about Huey Lewis and the News and what kind of business cards to carry.

Dear Trump Administration,

Republicans watch The Handmaid’s Tale and think, “Well, it’s a start.”

Hoke and Scotland both went for Hillary so there is some chance this guy doesn’t win. But I bet he gets way closer than the centrists would expect.

Civilization, democracy, monotheism, mathematics, philosophy, rock music, electronic dance music*. What do all of these things have in common? They were invented by people of color but white people insist they’re part of their culture.

How long before the Republicans nominate him for the presidency?

I don’t think mild dudgeon qualifies as getting bit hard in the ass. It’s a start, though.

Court packing is the only hope we have left. Without it we end up with a 5-4 majority that will rule in favor of the far right 100% of the time without even bothering to consider the case.

You get it. Why be a serial killer who can only get off on hurting a couple of people when you can be a politician and get your rocks off causing harm to millions?

People commonly make this mistake. They assume that the thoughts and motivations of the people who accumulate and abuse tremendous power are like those of ordinary people. They are not. Trying to understand what’s in Mitch McConnell’s head is like trying to understand what was in Ted Bundy’s head. Those with…

I get that conservatives are generally evil, but Kennedy was supposed to be a moderate. What made him decide to get replaced by an agent of the Thousand-Year Reich?

Few things in life are as profoundly disappointing as being vegan, telling your friends “It’s fine, if there’s nothing I can eat I’ll just have fries,” and then being confronted with a bunch of fancy housemade ketchups. I would like a bottle of Heinz, please. Not chipotle tomato sauce, not bourbon tomato sauce, not…

None of this is accidental. They were brutally efficient at separating the children from their parents in the first place. Any failure to reunite them is not due to a lack of competence, but a lack of will. They don’t even consider these people human, so why would they go to much trouble to reunite them?

The administration literally stole a baby and...maybe not quite sold, but certainly delivered, that baby to strangers. But it’s the immigrants who are the human traffickers according to these fascist fucks.

Judging the competence of an administration by the competence of its figurehead is a mistake. His role is to rile up a crowd, not to do the actual work of evil. That is left to his lieutenants - the ones actually in charge. It’s not safe to be grateful for fickle, weak-minded men like Trump when there are John Boltons…

All of the kids in my apartment complex run around screaming all damn day and I have called the police on them exactly zero times because that’s what kids fucking do. (Add that to the fact that I don’t even believe this girl was “screaming” because that would be a really ineffective sales tactic. She was probably just…
