Seriously, get it together, journalists! This whole time you’ve been telling the world Howe integral you are to our democracy, because you keep politicians in check. Well, KEEP HIM IN CHECK. Don’t accept his favors and if he wants to talk off the record tell him he’s the goddamn President Elect and you are reporting…

Wow. That Missoulian article has even more fucked up info on this.

The damage was done long before Obama told Putin to stop. The damage was done when the media decided Clinton’s win was assured and that she should be dogged relentlessly for every email revelation, real or imagined. We can complain about Russia all we want, but Russians didn’t force the New York Times to dedicate…

It’s been interesting watching Twitter after the press conference. All the reporters are talking about the Russia Hacks or the fainting episode or anything but the two solid minutes where Obama lambasted them for running with the hacked email narrative for 6 months then wondering why it was such a big deal.

I’m not sure about the GOP being done for. They gerrymander. They undermine democracy. They undermine voting rights. They purge voting rolls. They shut down the government regularly. Heck, it may be that they work with the Russians. Kind of seems like they own America at this point and I don’t really see (if they keep…

Well, I think the crazy thing about all of this is that we didn’t lose. The majority of the public (not even counting those who weren’t allowed to participate politically) has rejected the Republican ideology. The real problem is that we are no longer functioning like a democracy, because what is good for a majority…

that fails to recognize that the people most inclined to protest have the most to lose. If my family loses even two days’ income it could lead to some difficulty choosing between food and medicine that month after rent was paid. Me and my five year old would be homeless long before “a few weeks”were over. I think it’s…

Look, it’s information overload. Every hour gives us new, damning evidence about Trump’s ‘win’. I think people are so overwhelmed that they’re tuning out now.

“I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal,” Trump told CNBC. If the U.S. borrowed too much and invested its fresh cash in unproductive products, Trump would tell creditors to accept less than what he’d initially agreed to.

Which is really the tragedy of Obama’s administration... instead of dialing back Bush’s expansion of executive power, he continued to ramp it up. These are things we know in part thanks to leaks from Snowden and Manning. All the while liberals have been happy to condemn the whistleblowers and continue sucking…

You know what National Defense Authorization Act also does? Removed that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination in the U.S. Code, which could have potential consequences for victims of sexual harassment in the military.

I don’t think the “you’re not paying attention” has to do with adults not reading teen magazines. It’s how sites like Jezebel have been hammering publications like these for years to be more progressive, and we’ve seen first-hand that those publishers have been hiring Jez writers and other people from the feminist…

hoped to start drilling with a Russian company called Rosneft

Well, if we’re 100% fucked for bare minimum 2 years and still pretty majorly fucked for the next 4 regardless, I’d rather have the competent fucker in there not getting us killed.

Remember that “lesser of two evils” false equivalence bullshit the Bernie lovers used to tote out there? This is what a REAL lesser of two…

Increasingly, it appears that in fact, we did vote for her. Not only in the majority, but the electoral college as well.

of course, there’s no law saying the President-elect has to

Only through endless misery can you fully appreciate what a bad bad thing u did to have recreational sex like

I’m sad and pissed off that your doctor can’t practice medicine in the most ideal way, but instead has to change the way she does things because of unscientific, misogynist laws. Fuck.

I have a new OB and she told me on our first meeting that their practice does 18 week anatomy scans instead of 20 week scans because of the law in South Carolina that limits abortions past 20 weeks. She said it’s not medically the most ideal thing to do the scan two weeks early, but they hope that any major anomalies…

You cut all of the funding for places that provide discounted and free contraception. Now I’m pregnant. What am I going to do?
