And Jonathan Chait.

Lizza was the lucky beneficiary of Scaramucci’s idiocy, but he’s been a lickspittle of the dictation-taking school of political journalism from time out of mind. Good fucking riddance. Throw him on the fire with Halperin and Thrush. If only Mike Allen, Ron Fournier and Chris Cillizza could go next.

If this is in earnest, I’m sorry.

Both parties are bad. The GOP, of course, takes that to the next level. But both parties are just plain bad. The Democratic Party should’ve learned by now that hiding its many shortcomings behind the GOP clown car does not translate into an effective campaign strategy. I mean, they did lose the elections to the Gaping…

It’s so cool how the New York Times bends over backwards to give a platform and voice to people who want me dead because of the color of my skin.

They’re also the publication that gave us #MikeBrownWasNoAngel before he was even buried.

Perhaps you need to raise your bar for what constitutes a bright spot.

I’m not asserting family farms don’t exist at all, and I never used the term “corporate farms.” I’m saying that small-scale family farms have been phased out in favor of large-scale farms, be they family-owned or corporately-owned, especially in the tobacco industry, where my grandfather and father worked until the…

From a continent and world away from North Carolina:

Tom Perez

The Democrats will purge all the leftists from the party. They will lose again.

That’s a mischaracterization of what you’re calling the “progressive wing” based upon party propaganda. The message from the progressive wing is that it’s both class and race. That they are related, and while the democrats want to focus exclusively on race or identity, as they call it, progressives like Glenn Ford…

I am a little surprised, honestly. This is a pretty ham-handed snub to progressives. This after some very reasonable people around these parts convinced me that Perez was competent and basically fine and DNC chair was a low stakes job compared to keeping Ellison where he is. This right here, driving the wedge…

For all of you “party first” people out there, I would like you to explain this. While you’re at it, why don’t you take a stab at why Justin Fairfax was left off the Va. Lt. Governor promotional flyer. Actually, don’t bother. I’ve already had my fill of bullshit for the day.

I am shocked...SHOCKED...that an establishment operative like Perez would marginalize Ellison and the progressive wing. No one could have seen this coming!

I read your story about the “Greatest City On Earth” embarrassing itself, but I guess I missed the point because I didn’t see one word about New Orleans.

I just hope Netflix cancels it soon. Hate-watching it is a burden. Why can’t I stop?

Just got done seeing it and I honest to god feel like Aranofsky was legit trying to alienate people with this. It’s like 90 minutes of an off-putting Brechtian chamber drama followed by some of the craziest shit you’ll see in a mainstream film. Who the hell was this weird ass movie for?

Me!

I give it 5 stars out of 5.…

Uh, no. You’re probably one of the few people on earth who thinks that.
