My theory has always been that heightened empathy is more common in the creatively driven, and since modern conservative ideals are inherently selfish and non-empathetic, artists tend towards liberalism.

Oh look — apparently there are still some Republicans with scruples, who agree:

Did you read the Comey letter? That wasn’t an update on an investigation by any stretch of the imagination. Ir was basically a To Do list of things they hope to accomplish in the next whenever, but he just wanted to drop a note to them on a Friday so the entire nation could engage in rampant speculation for the next…

It speaks to a level of depravity and/or arrogance I can’t quite get myself to contemplate. As we all know, this is no ordinary election. This isn’t Comey putting out on George W’s behalf. He’s doing it for a man who’s plainly dangerous, either because he doesn’t care or he thinks that somehow, people would always be…

He could have waited to tell congress on Nov. 9th and that wouldn’t have been withholding information and would have been after the election.

But they’re not Clinton emails, they were on Anthony Weiner’s devices and Clinton would have no reason to email him anything but whatever you send to the spouse of your employee, so basically, nothing. Comey is updating them about nothing but making it sound like it might be a big deal days before an election. He is…

No, what “everyone is asking for” is fairness, plain and simple.

Which is why it’s being reported that the DOJ is investigating HIM. The FBI has an unofficial policy that releasing sensitive info about candidates in the 60 days prior to an election is just NOT. DONE.

Except Clinton herself, who has said she wants them to release more information, because she knows that whatever they got from that dickhead’s phone is a lot of smoke and mirrors as far as she’s concerned.

This man needs to step down immediately. There are protocols in place to deal with this kind of situation - and he followed none of them. Talk about a loose cannon. There is nothing neutral about this. The timing, in my opinion, is exactly what he wanted it to be. No accident here. They have had possession of the…

But we don’t know what these emails contain, or even if they’re new emails. He literally said “hey, I don’t know what this is but we’re going to look into it” in the most public, calculated way possible and at a moment designed to disrupt an election.

They still are a non-issue. The only reason they matter is because the right has been screaming “BUT EMAAAAILS” at the top of their lungs and stamping their feet like a 4 year old throwing a tantrum for the past 8 months. And it saddens me to see the head of the FBI apparently resorting to these tactics as well.

Ok, so it sounds like the guy whose recommendation it was that no charges be filed against Clinton for any wrongdoing has now turned around and intentionally given a vague statement with the express purpose of “punishing” her for the very things he said merit no action. Like, I was giving the benefit of the doubt when…

This appears to be, as they say, a real nothing-burger.

He is always thinking outside the box. He negotiates “discounts” after purchasing things, he just declares bankruptcy when he doesn’t feel like paying his bills, and he buys beauty pageants just so he can ogle naked contestants! Now he solved this whole annoying “election” problem with more innovative, thought leader…

And then there’s this, from Trump’s director of social media and senior advisor.

Actually, he loses his shit WELL before then. He lost his shit when he was challenged by an unflappable woman as so many men are wont to do.

I like what she said it I sure wish she’d pointed out that sexual assault does not equal sex..or being fascinated by it.

“The best deal” is not keeping workers beneath a livable wage and attempting to strip them of important healthcare benefits— especially when you have 90 million left over EACH YEAR. That’s total bullshit.

That intro paragraph is a shady as fuck way of making it out to seem like it’s all the workers’ fault. God these people suck.
