The damning thing about evangelical Christianity is that pretty much all you have to do is acknowledge Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and you’re absolved of pretty much any wrongdoing, making it a prime target for grifters and all-around bad people in general. Hence, the Falwells.

Mitch looks like he’s wearing the face of his father.

Love watching the Ingrahams and Hannitys and Shapiros of the world twist themselves into pretzels trying to reckon with Ocasio-Cortez. They’re soooooo afraid of her.

The right is soooooo afraid of Ocasio-Cortez. It’s great.

Expecting Wat Tyler and John Ball to make their appearance any day now.

Rarely is the question asked.......is our West Virginia people racist?

Want to know how to get all those Millennials back on your side? Three words: basic minimum income. That’ll change the tax discussion right quick.

It’s a disgrace what took place.

Looking forward to the next Run the Jewels track “Gunz Up (feat. Wayne LaPierre).”

Dim bulbs to be sure. Unfortunately, you can get through life on relatively low wattage.

The reason nearly all Republicans support him is because they have to. This is their stand. Look at the demographics of the generations coming up. Their time is up, and they know it.

Anyone else getting the sense from all the WH leaks and general incompetent rollout of everything that “shrewd, dangerous” Steve Bannon is actually just in over his head? The media has been with him step for step. It’s almost as if he didn’t expect any pushback. People want to make a big deal about how powerful he is…

“Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
