Well, yeah, she’s probably not the greatest person in the world with the most altruistic motives, but it’s still pretty noteworthy that the President of the United States makes six figure hush payments to porn stars, possibly involving campaign resources, isn’t it?

Hung around with him, banged him for money and/or a promise of an appearance on The Apprentice, then accepted a six figure hush payment.

Before ordering that Team Stormy t-shirt, just keep in mind the possibility that these are all garbage people. Just because she’s in a fight with Trump right now that she thinks will work out to her benefit doesn’t make her a decent person, and counting on her to do the right thing one millimeter beyond her own narrow…

This scandal would have been the defining issue of Obama’s presidency. For Trump, it barely cracks the top 5 of the last year. That’s scary as hell.

She’s not wrong, she’s just an asshole.

So please tell me why should she shut up?

I’m sorry if I seemed harsh, but it’s just a nothing observation masquerading as being thoughtful, and results in a dead end false equivalence that ignores what’s actually being discussed. Both sides have their problems. One of those common problems is being overly beholden to moneyed interests. No shit.

I’m saying that although money is a priority to both parties, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t real differences between the policies that Democrats and Republicans advance in the big picture.

Again, I’m sorry, but it doesn’t appear that we’re having the same conversation. I am trying to figure out what you mean by what you said.

When I referenced “Democrats,” I was referring to the party apparatus and the voters. Unfortunately, there are plenty Democratic voters who want to engage in a circular firing squad if the Democratic candidate from a deeply red district isn’t the next Bernie Sanders, and those are the folks I was specifically pointing…

I’m sorry, I just don’t follow what you’re trying to say here. I’m not being snarky here, but I just can’t unpack “Basically crams the entire article down into one sentence when saying they should use ideas that would likely be horrible for this particular district. It was both tailored against who they were running…

Oh, jesus, enough with this baloney. In 2018, it doesn’t make you look world-weary or wise by engaging in these false equivalences, it just make you look intellectually lazy. There are real, important differences between the policies that Democrats and Republicans enact that have incredibly profound effects on the…

You lost me here. The piece is recognizing that there is a place in the party for moderates like Lamb, as long as they aren’t taking the place of more progressive candidates who could win.

And replace them with what?

I really don’t get why this is controversial or difficult for Democrats to understand: run and support the most progressive candidate in every election that has a realistic chance of winning. Candidates like Jones and Lamb should be told to fuck right off if they are running in San Francisco, and embraced like the…

I think it’s hard to accept that something like a third of this country really does think like that. There are a lot of garbage people out there.

Strict but fair.

I’d argue that the OJ trial is a really good example of our justice system getting it right when it would have been much, much easier to get it wrong. OJ was guilty as hell, and the LAPD framed him by tampering with evidence and committing any number of crimes.

Ken Marino looks like hell.

Sure, but how many kg was it?
