You know that that (mis)quote had nothing to do with whether she had read the bill, right? She was saying that once the bill was passed the American people could find out what it did instead of relying on what she felt were inaccurate reports about what it did.

And so we warded it off threatened women for 20 years,

Are you kidding with this bullshit. Rape’s not a competition, you know.

I’ve said this many times but I feel it bears repeating. A few years from now, assuming we’re not all busy fighting off Super Mutants, one of the Trump daughters will be on 60 Minutes, or whatever version of Oprah is on the air at that stage; my money’s on Tiffany.

The Rotting Pumpkin Overlord will be an even more…

Yeah, I blame thiel mostly because hogan probably needs the money but thiel is motivated by revenge only. Also, isn’t it thiel’s “side” that defends nazis with free speech arguments? And also calls the left snowflakes? But I guess it doesn’t count when he is butthurt.

It’s funny. It is NOT the time to talk about climate change but for 90 republicans in the House and 17 in the Senate IT IS the time to talk about government cuts to offset the Harvey aid. 4 of those House republicans are Texan.

Hey, Bush Senior seemed bad, but at least he got us out of the Middle East in three days. I thoroughly agree about The Shrub, though. No amount retrospective whitewashing will ever absolve him from starting the Fucking Endless War for No Reason That Bin Laden Wanted.

Oh, that quote from George Orwell is so damn ironic. Since these people have literally and figuratively sainted the Confederate soldiers and their leaders. They have slanted history by formally declaring that it was never about slavery, that it was about state’s rights. Covering up the whole of history with a nice,…

That response is dripping with shade. Well done, Kennedy Center. Well done.

Why won’t the religious right take the eclipse for the ill-omen it is? Cleary god is hiding the sun from us because he doesn’t like Nazis! What, y’all saw omens all over the place telling you Obama was the anti-christ, but now you believe in basic science?? No, fuck that.

I’m not sure that is what happened. I think Bannon’s move was intentional and intended him to sound in control and insightful. His brilliant statement on Korea is as sophisticated as literally any person who has read a newspaper in the last forty years. It is terrifying that such a shallow man had amassed so much…

To these people, free speech is more than a legal instrument or even a political stance. It’s a moral philosophy. It’s immensely frustrating, because they pretend that there aren’t already limits and barriers to exercise of ‘speech’ and that rallies are ‘speech’. Rallies aren’t ‘speech’. They are an exercise of the…

Picking them off individually by pointing it out to their employers is a good idea, but it takes time. The action GoDaddy is taking is HUGE. that’s how we really put a dent in this: cutting of their revenue from ads, and denying them easy access to organize online. They’ll find somewhere else, they always do, but…

The phrase “permanent majority” is the bullet with democracy’s number stamped on its side.

That’s why they spent 8 years screaming “OMG, divisive dictator!” at every little thing Obama did (remember the sheer outrage when he expressed sympathy for Trayvon Martin’s family?). Now, every time they are deliberately decisive and anti-democratic they scream “But Obama did it first!” (when he didn’t they just…

I think your mistakes are that you assume that any of those things are brand new ideas or that they can be done without Republican support.

What is so right about that is that so few of those shitbillion would willingly acknowledge having supported Nixon. We all want to be on the right side of history. (Like how many people - even THESE people - would say that they were against King or doing away with separate but equal? Very few of them. Well, now I…

Shocking: A group that has spent the last 20 years losing the demographics battle, who lost the popular vote in the last election by a factor of millions and who has spent the last 10 years doing its best to shamelessly disenfranchise the voters in the opposing party is willing to consider suspending democracy for a…

this is fucking pathetic.

Miller, confronted with how low the polling is on the public’s priorities right now actually claimed that “but it polls of great concern in swing states.” So, yet another unnecessary priority wedge issue selected to distract & please his base.
