Most of the “golden age” of television hasn’t been on broadcast TV. Cable at first, now streaming too.

There’s a fundamental disconnect between people who see health care as a right and people who take a consumerist approach and think health insurance should work like car insurance. The Republican Party is firmly in the latter group. Paul Ryan talks about choice in health insurance plans like it’s something to be…

He pretended to be a successful businessman. Now he’s pretending to be a successful president.

The president is actually responsible for paying their own personal expenses, except for the White House housing. Taxpayers pick up the tab for security and transportation, though, which is usually much larger.

There is literally nobody in this country, possibly the entire world, who doesn’t already know that Trump is a vindictive asshole. Millions of people support him because of it.

Do you or any of your wife’s friends’ husbands speak Filipino/Tagalog or whatever the women’s native language is? I’m not saying it’s necessary or easy but...

Not really; it was communist but unaligned during the Cold War.

Did you miss the Juicebro stories?

Are there any actresses who have made the successful transition from overweight funnywoman to attractive leading lady movie star?

I guess I’m biased in that Trump seemed to me such an obvious con-man that it’s hard to imagine anyone who fell for him ever recognizing, much less admitting, that they’d been conned. I’m not the type to have political conversations in a bar, so I’m informed mostly by the polls that show very few Trump voters…

If he thinks Catholicism is the world’s largest false religion, then he obviously believes Islam is true!

As long as he harms urban or less white areas even more, I doubt rural white voters will turn on him. And the average Trump voter had a higher income than the average American.

The PPACA is probably going to die, unfortunately (and while I’m going to be paying more for insurance, at least I’ll probably still have it). Whether it is repealed or left to wither on the vine by an administration and Congress uninterested in making it work remains to be seen. But we have to make the GOP own the…

Calling a whole state garbage is awfully close to what Sessions just did, though the state government and dominant politics are pretty garbage. It’s amazing that we have an attorney general who was himself rejected as a judge for being too racist now badmouthing a judge in our most diverse state.

I mean, I was surprised when I went to college and was surrounded by more Asians, Jews, and Black people and fewer Latinos than I was used to. I didn’t decide to quit college or become a politician in the party of modern white supremacists as a result though.

You know, we fought an entire war so that we wouldn’t be governed by an island in the Atlantic, and now we’re kowtowing to an even smaller island in the Pacific?

In that case it’s not quite as bad. I think a lot of women have suffered through the experience of being treated unequally by their bosses, some using excuses such as this. If Mike Pence came out tomorrow in full-throated support of the ERA then I’d say this wasn’t a serious issue, right after I finished eating my hat.

So you would support mandatory life sentences for anyone who commits sexual assault? (Although it’s not like there’s no sexual assault in prison, but I suppose “those people deserve it”.)

What’s the logic of keeping someone who sexually assaulted a person his own age away from children? I mean, there’s the ick factor of not wanting your kids to be around a rapist, but there’s really no indication that he’d be a danger to children. If anything he’d be a danger to women his own age, but would you support…

Why is there only a registry for sexual offenders? There’s no registry for murderers or people who commit assault or battery, is there? And a murder is at least as serious a crime.
