If you’re going to argue that he shouldn’t be confirmed because you don’t like the way you think he is going to vote on the issues... that’s how this fucking thing works.

Originialism is such horseshit. The Framers never intended for the Constitution to stay the same forever, and aside from that, it makes zero sense to apply 18th-century outlooks to today.

So what if other cis actors have played trans people? Why is she being so fucking petulant, and refusing to take a principled stance about this? We (and Hollywood, I thought) are more sensitive to this issue now, and LISTEN to others’ experiences and views, there’s no excuse for this type of ignorant and offensive…

1) The worst part being that even if he did get his ass handed to him on national TV, Trump supporters would probably STILL call it Trump’s victory.

You mean like the $5M you promised to pay to charity if a certain President actually had a birth cert issued in Hawaii, you penniless sack of crap?

While I do think it’s right to expect an activist like Tamblyn to be talking to her husband when he fucks up, I also don’t think we should expect her to be able to perform the miracle of being able to transform her oaf into someone properly woke or to air their marital disputes on these issues in public.

Totally unnecessary insult.

Unpopular opinion: being shitty to a shitty person is still shitty, and calling a woman a cunt, while not as bad as calling an African American an ape, is still pretty fucking shitty. I think we can tear down Ivanka without resorting to gendered slurs and contributing to the general level of vitriol and disrespect in…

Are we making fun of people with MS now?

Bonnie & Clyde Drexler > Emma Roller

Again, the hypocrisy of the Trump loving “Christian Right”, which considers pregnancy termination murder, but will merely shrug about this cruelty happening to actual children and their actual people families.

this is a bad take. Dems are helping the GOP pass bills that the GOP couldnt pass otherwise. Every Dem should be a hard “no” for every single thing that the GOP supports. Dems should only attempt to work on things that the GOP (mostly) despises - like DACA and healthcare.

Part of it is if you want Democrats to continue being (or start depending on your perspective) different then you have to give them criticism when they act like Republicans. “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”

There have been some very bad vibes as of late from the DNC and many established democrats who have been floating further right. And its this reason we have to treat these guys like Republicans and vote them out in primaries. Except the DNC funds these asshats like there’s no tomorrow... God we’re in so much fucking…

BREAKING: Americans once again find out that the Democrats are really GOP-lite. Quickly forgets.

“Perhaps not shockingly, many of the Democrats who voted for the bill that will benefit banks both large and small received considerable campaign donations from the financial sector. “

Because shit like this keeps giving ‘bipartisanship’ a bad name.

Well yeah.
None of these people are politicians because they want to help the people, but because lobbyist money makes them rich and brings future job opportunities at the lobbyist firm.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I check out of the democratic party when we voted a ton of them in to stop the war and they ramped…

I got you.

This event, naturally, resets the clock to “too soon to talk about it [gun control legislation],” because every time this happens, it becomes “too soon to talk about it.” So pro forma “thoughts and prayers” must suffice.
