As someone who has never rigged an election myself, yes, I have full moral standing to criticize them.

I kid you not, “Russian election” is what my dad says when he’s referring to something completely fake.

He weekends in Florida so my guess is St. Petersburg.

Why so soon? Russia just had a presidential election in November of 2016.

Why do these pics remind me of serial killers posing near the graves of their victims?

Eh, I digress:

“OK, class! The late 20th century was fun, right kiddos? Great! Let’s just skip over Chapter [redacted] and head on to President Mun...M...Munchkin? President Munchkin in 2018, alright?”

As an environmentalist, I’m A-OK with cutting these trees down, granted these two d-bags are still sitting on them.

Maybe, but they’re still gonna have at least two democratic presidents before they recover from the ass kicking they are about to receive in november. A lot of reconstruction after El Cheeto but enough time to effect some meaningful legislative change.

As an intellectual.

...tries to take the air out of the ball...

I almost have to admire this Russian as a fantastic joke where the idiot you helped destroy the enemy’s country will do so because he believes he is so great while having the perfect set of devastating character faults.

The pettiness is real.
Every day it gets harder to imagine a world where Trump isn’t a Russian slow-release bomb designed to eat away at every solid structure in Washington.
I’m not insinuating that he knows that he’s a malignant cancer of a president, just that he was chosen as the most malignant, the most likely to…

I think you’re right about people not being “owed” anything. We need to stop this pernicious entitlement mentality where people think they deserve help from the government simply by existing.

Center-Left

This kind of sickness has a source.

They sure play up the both sides are bad horseshit like there was a viable further left choice on the national stage than the Dems. If there is, I have yet to find it.

Splinter, Gawker, and to a lesser extent The Root and Jez have historically been staffed with young, privileged idiots with one track minds. They started out with snark but descended into a douche and turd whataboutism that would make Sean Hannity proud.

Progressives love nothing more than to eat their own, destroy everyone who pokes their head up with a purity test and then wonder why they never win anything.

No matter how dire our current circumstance. No matter how low Trump and the Republicans go in their never ending quest to systematically disassemble our democracy. No matter what new horrible thing they manage to enact that benefits no person other than they and their wealthy overlords....
