Wait, wat? They “found, 6-0, that there wasn’t enough effort”? He didn’t try hard enough to harass people? His efforts were weak? Lame? Not enough energy behind his words and actions? This guy got elected and he’s this stupid, to say that?

Typical sexual predator. He can’t take “no” for an answer.
I trust that voters will recognize that the Franken did the morally correct thing by stepping down, and the Democratic Party did the right thing by supporting that. Further, voters will recognize that progressives and the Left in general represent the best hope for righting many of the political, moral, and fiscal…
One of the many sad, infuriating things about all of this, is how many women; actresses, directors, producers and writers, left the business because of Swinestein and the men like him? How many great stories have we missed out on?
AND his seat doesn’t come up for re-election until 2020, so the Dem/Ind coalition now only needs to flip 2 seats in 2018 instead of 3.
Precisely. I’m also a southern white democrat, and while our numbers are fine in the metropolitan areas, the moment you leave city limits we become an endangered species. It’s pretty much the same as why Hillary lost the EC. The concentration in certain areas doesn’t matter if you can’t reach the rural areas.
As a white woman, even I have no fucking idea what 60 percent of white female voters in Alabama were thinking. Thank you, black voters, for getting the job done.
I came into this night feeling so pessimistic about what the outcome might be (and spent most of the night feeling worse as I watched Moore’s lead grow). I refused to ever believe the NYT’s dial.
*White Alabama did not even almost do the right thing!
As someone who lives in Alabama, I’m not that surprised he won. I know a lot of people look at Alabama as a third world state with burnt necks and confederate flags, but it’s definitely gotten better. People are more progressive than you would think and it’s really the older generation that is holding us back.
Would she be called an opportunist if she was a man? No one is saying that about Cory Booker or the other male senators who have called for his resignation.
There is no question she took some big risks on Franken and Clinton, but they seem to be paying off. She didn’t create the cultural moment but she was the only one who had always taken a hard line against sexual harassment so she’s well positioned. At the end of the day the party will come around, because if it…
Kirsten Gillibrand has found herself, by virtue of her long history of focusing on sexual harassment and the cultural moment we find ourselves in, probably in the best position to capture the Democratic nomination in 2020. Trump is reacting to that, but because he can’t actually think strategically, he’s done the…
“Used” has a very specific sexual meaning as well.
His “strategy” of being so awful and continuously saying awful things is working: I am exhausted. Just add it to the ever-growing pile that is so large it will eventually bury us all under a suffocating blanket of horribleness.
I am loath to spend any time thinking about Donald Trump’s tweets—the misspelled ejaculations of a broken brain—but…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Starbucks makes coffee(like) drinks for people who don’t like the taste of coffee...
It really is.
Yup. One of those in my family. He just died. Luckily, my Dad always hated him so he wasn’t allowed in our home (my mom’s brother). He once asked me to dance at my cousin’s wedding (under the guise of teaching me to waltz...and family wedding so you dance with family members). I agreed because I hadn’t seen the guy…
Eh, I think, “You knew he was a criminal and you didn’t turn him in” is a fair suit. If Subway had done their duty and turned him in when they found out, she wouldn’t have married him and had children with him. She’s sticking it to Subway on every technicality available, and she should. They absolutely deserve it.…
