Uh yeah and the fact that he is calling the judge’s ruling his “opinion”?? like dude no its the LAW not an idiotic man just willy nilly making decisions to suit his mood at the moment. some people are actually respecting the rule of law...

Politics in Hawaii isn’t quite the same animal as on the mainland. Hawaii has a very strong identity and values that are very different, and that temper some of the worst influences of the GOP. Like for instance you can’t really get any where if you don’t embody the spirit of aloha (in very brief, it’s being…

Defectors with a conscious distaste for Trumpism will help us take back more state governments. If we stick to rigid purity tests as the minority party we will never regain any footing nationally or locally.

I know recent history makes us all believe that all Republicans are evil people. Lord knows, they’ve given us enough reason to believe that, many times over. As a party they deserve every bit of scorn that we can possibly shovel onto them. I don’t know about this lady specifically. Sure, she’s (formerly)a leader of a…

This is literally dumb as shit. There are perfectly reasonable republicans out there that know right from wrong and we should be encouraging them to speak out and work with us. I’m sure you’re too young to remember but in the before times in the long, long ago, democrats and republicans used to disagree but still work…

Yeah we’re all angry dude. But tarring and feathering the defectors isn’t going to win us any new allies. Better to show support when someone crosses that line so we can encourage others to do the same rather than see them quietly go along with their crowd.

Don’t burn yourself on that take.

It’s a big scam by College Republicans and other right-wing campus groups. And the universities (esp. public universities) have to allow it, since they are obligated to fund events by these organizations. M.Y. came to a private university I taught at last year, and it was almost a non-issue. A coalition of diversity…

Counterpoint: trolls thrive on conflict and getting a reaction, and so resorting to violence and/or vandalism as protest is giving him exactly what he wants. The entire scheme is to poke the bear and get people angry enough to provoke physical retaliation, and then say “oh look how violent these ‘tolerant’ leftists…

Did you hear that he plans to publish a list of crimes committed by immigrants every week? I keep trying not to compare him to the Nazis, but it’s becoming harder not to. He is building a case for the country to feel justified in harming immigrants which is what happened in Nazi Germany.

See, if a white man signs an executive order, that’s leadership. If a non-white man, or a woman of any race, signs an executive order, that’s tyranny. This is basic stuff, people...

I dunno. I am under the impression that the Republican Party and Trump have a symbiotic relationship that is working for everybody. Trump gets to feel powerful. The Republicans got to use his “popularity” and his antagonistic and reactionary ways to get in power, and to use him to get parts of the agenda they…

Voting rights is on my top three list. We should put out heads together and brainstorm about how to improve enfranchisement and derail voter suppression!

I see what he’s doing here. He’s mounting an effort to seriously restrict voting laws with something like federal ID, even though his many syncophants don’t have the ‘nads to publicly dispute him. This is very dangerous, not just delusional and borderline insane.

She’s the only mother Kamiyah knows, and she’s only 18. Kids don’t necessarily have the best perspective on how good or bad their parents are.

I mean, women already do pretty crazy things to try to become mothers. I’ve given myself nearly a thousand needles and have spent more than my life savings.

On a serious note, how do you psychologically repatriate a kidnapped child with her biological parents?

“Bone spurs.”

The FBI director is a good man who was placed in a very difficult position,” said Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). “His boss [U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch] made life very difficult for him in the last year when she met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac.

sometimes its difficult for me to have sex knowing that he even exists.
