The fractured hellscape of a US democracy...brought to you in no small part by Richard M. Nixon!!

And a sash would also accentuate his fat ass, right along with his gunt and child-birthin’ hips. 

And then he wept, for there were no more of his daughters to bone.

You stated I was confused on what “electability” is. I am not. You are apparently using the term in a completely different way than everyone else who uses it. And regardless, it’s a stupid, meaningless term used to persuade potential democratic voters to compromise for the sake of running someone in the general…

This is fucking awesome and bittersweet news. Most obviously, great for Theo Shaw, his family, his friends, his community, and his future clients. But it also should remind anyone that: (1) it’s awful that our system ever put Theo Shaw in a position to have been in such jeopardy; and (2) there are countless other Theo…

“Electability” is bullshit no matter where it’s trotted out, but it’s almost always brought up in the primaries as a consideration for a person’s qualifications for the general. And it’s almost always self-sabotaging democrats worried about white right-leaning suburbanites. Electability is how you (or the person…

Exactly. Electability is a term invented by Washington consultants who are directly responsible for the winning campaigns of Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton. You know who’s electable? A candidate who excites and turns people out. Not some milquetoast moderate cookie-cutter with the right resume and image of…

I thought the mention of “electability” was a joke. Consider the most recent winner of the Presidential election and get back to me on “electability.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him. 

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing everyone he hadn’t already shit himself in every oversized suit he’s owned in the last 20 years.

I think we’re at the point where Trump makes the NFL commissionership a cabinet-level position with the term “General” attached to the end (in exchange for getting a third shitty New York adjacent team when he leaves office).

I don’t want to paint with too broad a brush of kink shame here, but scat porn is pretty damn popular in Germany.

Of all the trump ironies, that he is: (a) a huge fan of debt collectors, loan sharks, and other financial scumbags while simultaneously being (b) the world’s most notorious deadbeat broke-dick really ranks somewhere in or near the Top 500.

This article reminded me of the time within the last year or so when I was up late and stoned. And I cried my eyes out watching Hobbyhorse Revolution.

America’s football guys are in short supply these days. I just remember my 7th grade hoops coach nearly giving himself an aneurysm on a twice-weekly basis back in the early 90s. He was good with shit-talk though. I remember one skinny kid on our team airballing a free throw just after halftime. Coach yells, “What the…

Or a prospective Supreme Court justice. 

Tiger and Trump are both agnostic about most things. Neither one gives a shit about politics or government beyond the taxes they pay (making them republicans by default). They share several interests: 1. golf; 2. porn stars and other women they want to have sex with (or, in Trump’s case, make other people think he…

Depends. Oh, Jared’s a 40-0year-old white dude? I’m not even sure he can be tried as an adult.

“Wedge” issues are a thing that only helps the minority party. Abortion isn’t a wedge issue that drives people to one side or the other. It’s a wedge issue that helps only republicans. Because the republican stance on almost every single other major policy is in the deep minority. Abortion is one of only a few (if not…

Two points: The reporting on this issue needs to be clarified. Unless you believe in immaculate conception, then any pregnant 11 year-old was necessarily raped. There’s no allegedly about it. Perhaps there is an alleged specific perpetrator but someone raped her.
