The US government has already crossed dangerously big water to get to this weird tropical island (that couldn’t deal with some sort of small rainstorm) for a photo op, all because liberals wouldn’t stop whining about a measly 16 lives lost and millions “at risk,” whatever that means. If we gave this other country our…

Full disclosure: I voted Bernie in the primary and phone banked and raised money for him in Florida during the primary. When he didn’t win the nomination, I voted for Hillary in the general.

It’s only been 7 months. This seriously needs to stop. And to all of the people claiming that Trump is the lesser of two evils or that he and Hillary were the same....

Not from any kind of personal experience, but I came to say much the same thing. With most drugs, withdrawal makes you feel like you’re dying, but in fact can’t kill you. With alcohol you can absolutely die from suddenly stopping, if you’re sufficiently physically dependent on it. It really needs to be done with…

I do want it said and again and again how this has nothing to do with conventional politics. Trump isn’t just wrong or bad (or even primarily wrong or bad) because he’s a Republican. He’s bad because he’s just a shitty human being who just so happens to have hijacked politics.

Look, you seem to be coming from a place of some knowledge intelligence here. Too bad it was covered up with a lot of misplaced aggression and immaturity. Back it down about 20 notches and make your point like an adult.

Look, you’re right, but I think you’re whole “try me” schtick is misplaced here. The point of this isn’t about Taiwan, really. It’s about a president who has no fucking idea what he’s doing wading into extremely tricky international waters. And if you’re going to pretend that it’s in the best interest of ANYBODY - us,…

On a similar theme, writer Michael Rowe popped up on my FB feed with this interesting observation, “I never saw CRACKED becoming the source of serious social commentary it has become, but this piece is terrific, if very obviously written for a certain audience.”

Can’t we just answer his silly tweets with “Get back to work”? Or start a #getbacktowork trend on twitter?

Yet the New York Times and Joe Scarborough keep telling me that the reason these people are so utterly vile is because people like me say mean things about them.

No one is going to agree 100% or be able to do everything.! and to act like the acts of both sides are the same is ridiculous. Support the one who will push things that most align with your beliefs. To sit or or protest votes ends up with shit like we got with Trump.

I’m surprised they have figured it out so quickly. I mean, if you were stupid enough not to be able to figure out he was lying to you before the election, how did you grow critical thinking skills in the last month?

why is the president-elect allowed/empowered to do anything? why is he calling taiwan? why is making deals with carrier? why is he taking a victory lap? has any previous p-e ever done this? has any previous p-e even considered it? is this even, for lack of a better term, legal?

OK, now I support a recount.

Wow this could be about me. :(

As someone in recovery who is also currently dealing with the fallout of a relapse thanks to The Worst Year Ever I can attest to the fact that we very much appreciate when people reach out and remind us we are cared about.

So I had a friend who after five years of sobriety relapsed in part due to stress from the election. He is dong better but he terrified his close friends and family. Please if you or someone you are close to is struggling with addiction and the current events please reach out to him or her. We all need each other and…

Things many people believed about a hypothetical Trump administration that have been demonstrated to be 100% true:

A question for the group: is Lewandowski the purest example of failing upwards that currently exists?

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

I know there are Trump-related boycott lists going around, but I would personally love to start compiling a list of companies that have either stood up to his rhetoric, espouse progressive values or otherwise do things against his agenda. So we’d know places to support, especially in the holiday season.
