538 had a good article about state governments falling into the same gridlock trap we see in Washington. Democrats need to start focusing on state and local more than ever. Especially in blue dots in the middle of the country (like where I live). If they want to beat the GOP, it’s the only way.

Harry Reid seems so milquetoast, and then when you least expected it he came out swinging.

i started to wonder last night if Melania is not the infamous Ivan from all those spy movies from the 70s & 80s. the Karla from the John le Carre books...

Four states that would have won it for her were Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. That geographic block was crucial to Trump, and in particular his jobs message. So what did we see? Trump outdid Romney in all four states, picking up an average of 159,000 votes per state (which is saying something since…

Republicans blocked every infrastructure bill Obama tried to pass, but I think if Trump pushes for one democrats should absolutely support it. Show that they’re not the same as republicans.

You’re a fucking moron. The time to protest is before bad things start happening, not after. That’s not difficult to understand. As much as you love to a stereotype a generation, the protests are because the president-elect has shown he is willing to cater to racists and anti-semites to get elected. I don’t know about…

Here’s the difference. In 08, Republcisns invented stuff to be angry about. For example, Republicans were afraid Obama was a secret Muslim or a socialist or not born in America or the anti-Christ.

Yeah, no one questioned Obama’s citizenship and claimed that he couldn’t be president because he wasn’t born in this country. That was...something different!

Thanks for my first laugh of the day.

Boom!

Thank you, you too!!

Xanax works for me, otherwise I have insomnia from hell. Yes let’s focus on this being over sooner than later.

I am not an emotional person, but I wake up crying with anxiety now. It will be like this until he is not in office. The one consolation is that we can start campaigning asap!!

no, he does NOT seem enthusiastic about this happening to him. it is going to get worse when he realizes how cut off from the world and how lonely it is to actually be President. it is a very restricted role. you don’t become king. and we, the liberals, the democrats, and god willing some republicans - our job now is…

He didn’t win fair and square, he lost the popular vote. He won because the Electoral College is an arcane and poorly-designed system that doesn’t reflect the will of the people and because Republicans have spent years making it harder and harder for minorities to vote. The truth is that the system is rigged. The…

I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels like the orange one really does not WANT to be president. I only heard part of the acceptance speech, but it was the most unenthusiastic delivery I can remember — and I’ve been voting since Bush the First. (I know that he is going to put all his flunkies in power, but it’s…

God. Donald Trump doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as Obama, let alone speak directly to him. Seeing them side-by-side at the White House is almost unbearable.

Fuck this country for making Obama sit next to that orange piece of shit.

Kerr’s father was take hostage and murdered in Beirut when he was playing ball at AZ in college:

What you don’t see is that they had to pause midway through his rant, because the members of the press started chanting “STEVE STEVE STEVE STEVE STEVE STEVE”
