It’s like someone said “hey, do you think we could come up with a costly idea that will 100% be overturned by the court system as unconstitutional?” and came up with this.

No, it means Mueller has emails showing they knew. He just wants to see are these fuckers dumb enough to destroy the evidence and give him an open-and-shut “obstructing justice” case.

“Trump has been briefed on _______” and “I ran the plan by the rhododendron” are about equal on the reassurance and comfort scale with regard to any situation.

I’m just so depressed by it all. Ok, conservatives, have it your way. Unlimited guns, preschoolers surrounded by concealed carriers, no sex Ed, no contraception, no abortion, no affordable healthcare, no unions, no public schools, no food stamps, no minimum wage, more privately run prisons, and more money to the…

Is there some sort of hot pink cigar I can smoke with this ladyscotch? Preferably one that won’t make my hands/face/hair smell like ass for three days, but really it’s the hot pink that is important to me as a female consumer.

this will go down smoothly with my lady doritos.

You took the words right out of my mouth, and the thought of his portrait in the White House is the exact same thing that represents this whole tragedy in my mind (get out of my head!).

She is the poster child for petulant, spoiled brats everywhere. She looked at the cast of HBO’s Girls and went “hold my ‘47 Cheval Blanc”.

Her ‘logic’ such as it is, is that she thinks she can hide behind the shield of being a presidential child that would have protected Barron, or Sasha and Malia Obama. She ignores that she’s an adult, that she chose to be an administration official, and she’s on a trip as a representative of our government, and…

“Everyone should realize that the fact that Trump’s portrait will hang in the white house for as long as there is an America means that no matter what we may achieve in the future, it will always be tainted and tarnished. In a fundamental way, this country is permanently ruined.” 

This is hell world. The fact that the next Democratic president’s administrative appointments will be judged as fit or not depending on personal merits, experience, achievements is going to drive me absolutely insane. Everyone should realize that the fact that Trump’s portrait will hang in the white house for as long…

I am a former Cool Chick™, to my everlasting shame. You know, the one all the guys like to hang out with because she’s a guy’s girl, doesn’t get mad at sexist jokes, looks at members of her own gender with scorn and dislike because they’re silly / emotional / irrational / not men.

It puts her enduring immaturity into context, that’s for sure.

Don’t feel too bad for them. For the most part, they’re intentionally trading dignity as a woman for power points on white supremacy, homophobia, Christian dominionism, and screwing the poor. Since they consider misogyny a good price to pay in order to shit on every POC, queer person, and non-Christian, I don’t feel…

For me the question remains: “What is the extent of the damage done.” In the case of a normal citizen who has voted conservative most of their life and wakes up one day and realizes “these people do not have my best interests at heart.” Then yeah, with work and some careful re-examination of their core values they…

It’s a classic move by the right - claim they’re reasonable and just want to meet in the middle, then demand the other side do all the moving. “We’d join feminist movements if they’d just agree to hate women a little bit more.”

No, I don’t believe she’d renounce her whole life’s ethos, either. Maybe it would be enough if she stepped back and stopped actively pushing a narrative that is damaging to women. I guess I almost have a Nuremburg trials-type thing happening in my head, wherein there are leaders of the alt-right and religious right…

Scorn until they get with the program imho. Honestly, we progressive women aren’t asking for much, if we make compromises to welcome anyone who doesn’t understand the value of fair treatment, we’re doomed and we’re betraying all the other groups we should be standing with.

“You cannot be anti choice and feminist. Period.”

More and more it seems Corey Robin’s thesis of conservatism as an essentially reactionary attempt to preserve hierarchies of all types is the most accurate explanation of conservative politics.
