First Lady isn’t a paid position. It IS a position of power. What will MT do to make it her own? I don’t see social media reform as a thing she can do for four years. What will DT let her do? Very little, I’m guessing.

Nordstrom dropped her because of low sales. According to Conjob and DT, they should keep a line losing money because she is the daughter of the ruler? What century are we living in?

We need her in public service and she is effective. I don’t want her to run for president. Warren is part of the solution and is doing a great job. The lady is the real deal and will keep whippin’ right-wing ass with her honest talk.. Bless her. Man, I love Elizabeth Warren. We do need younger “talent” to keep moving…

Warren doesn’t need to tweet to sell a book or get re elected. Dems are doing things of value Every Day. What news do you listen to?

Echo-chambers have value. We can exchange ideas and information without having to defend ourselves at every turn. Dissent is here just like it is everywhere, but at Jezebel we can lead a discussion, one that is civil and informative.

Striving 101.

Breaking News! Ohio will no longer publish scorecards or cost/student metrics.

Yeah. “utterly distasteful” was a dead giveaway. Some people don’t realize that THEY THEMSELVES are widely considered to be utterly distasteful because of their words and actions, as opposed to where they happen to be born. 

We can be working on getting people to vote in 2018 and ensuring that vote will be counted. Today, it became harder to be certain an electronic vote will be counted or processed accurately. Access to voting will become harder. Citizens need identification, time off work, rides if polling stations are even farther…

That should be the protest Halloween costume this year, if we make it till October. A suit of checks adorned with out of balance balances. I can already think of wildly accurate variations. Trademark insert. You heard it here first.

“And I told him that the cartel would build a monument to him in Mexico if he could get that legislation passed,” Eavenson added.

I was with you till resignation. This is not the time for that. Take a break when you need to, but don’t relinquish your inherent power by accepting 2017 as a done deal.

I find it worth noticing, thought Of Course the only woman nominated will be the only one not accepted. Yes, she is so awful (wants no oversight/quality assurance on For-Profit charter schools that accept taxpayer money, just the tip of her emotional iceberg), but...as you pointed out, they all are. There should be…

He doesn’t go that far, just says DT didn’t legally ensure his assholery would be a success. That is his only problem with DT. What a dick.

There is no way to be sure. Would our country have elected a socialist? The right would have come at him hard. He is as liberal as one can be outside the Green party. We will never know and that’s that. I get the wondering though, I catch myself doing it when DT and his ilk become too harsh to be real. A President…

It seems the word “articulate” is not used much when discussing WP/white people. Unless they are women.

I appreciate the barf bag break down from intrepid souls. I’m lucky to have progressive radio at times during the week and write down links, authors and operations, try to prioritize rage and yet...I need to get it all organized so I can do shit productively when I get home.

*Star* I starred, but it took one away. DT deserves no pity. He can’t seem to muster any pity for....most earth creatures. Just pities himself and poor, misunderstood, underdog friend Tom Brady.

Even W was more intellectually curious.

I come from Irish people and the sentiment is different. At least in my family. Instead of wanting to be the man in a big house on the hill, they want to get the man in the big house on the hill ( hill matters, it’s safer from flooding and looks down at those by the river valley, says family lore). The inference is…
