Anyone who pursues and achieves a prominent elected position is to be presumed corrupt until proven otherwise.

I do think it is a truly plain good thing. I don’t feel cynically about what he did—he has a long history of philanthropy—and I am especially grateful that he’s been proactive and gone abroad to represent the vast majority of Americans who are against withdrawal.

I’m gonna say the slightly obvious here, but Greg Howard did Deadspin and the world a great service by exposing this goddamn malicious phony for what he is.

Measured, reasoned and informative. All the things Whitlock is not.

There’s only one word to describe this:

Thank you for this. They are literally drawing the line at “destruction of the human race.”

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.

This Kathy Griffin situation has had me seething and is a prime example of why I’m hesitant to identify as a liberal/Democrat despite my politics aligning with them.

I didn’t think Texas could get more Texas but here we are.

I don’t think anybody reading this voted for Trump, but when people say the popular vote doesn’t really matter they are correct. Fuck the electoral college, amirite?

Don’t forgive the early voters; he was still a creationist who believes that dinosaurs died in the Noah’s Ark flood :/

I know, early voting yada yada, but this country and its voters just fill me with despair and disgust.

It’s what people voted for though.

Far be it for me to criticize Richard Sherman, but if he’s still going to be grumpy with Wilson about SB 49 he might want to consider that they had a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter of that game and his number 1, bad-ass, we-never-take-blame-for-anything defense couldn’t hold it. 

It’s okay if you don’t come visit us, we don’t really want to be here either.

Is anyone actually surprised? Betsy Devos is the prototypical church bitch. All we can do is expose and try to embarrass bigots like her, the way Rep. Katherine Clark did.
 

I got in a long Facebook argument with a stranger over this (it was midnight and I couldn’t sleep, Facebook arguments are my ambien) who said DeVos didn’t do anything wrong because now FINALLY parents have a choice where they send their kids to school, like that’s not already a thing that is allowable. I explained…

I’m still hoping Boston trades the first pick to Toronto who takes Ball. I want to see anarchy on draft day at the Ball family table.

i think one of the things that angers me/shocks me/saddens me the most about trumps presidency is that if Obama had been accused of any of the daily shit we find out about trump, he would be in handcuffs and impeached immediately. yet trump supporters/republicans defend trump and basically say “nothing to see here,…

Basketball players would’ve flopped and drawn some free throws and maybe a flagrant and probably contracted MRSA. Hockey players are such tough guys. smdh
