John Legend and his wife are national treasures.

I keep hearing people say what can we do, what can we do, like what the fuck do you think the last election was, voting for your favorite contestant to stick around on American Idol. I understand that many people did vote and more voted for Hillary than for Trump, but in many states, including the ones like Ohio,…

Concrete steps you can take:

“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13,” he said, grinning, “to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.”

I think it’s a dog whistle.

Yep

That post is so tone deaf I wonder if he’s straight up trolling us at this point.

Every single photo of Michael Cohen I’ve ever seen looks like he just got hit in the dick with a water balloon.

This is a common tactic of the law-and-order crowd. ‘They broke the law, so nothing to be done, they brought this on themselves’. It utterly denies the power held by law enforcement, by the state and instead designates it all to the lone victim.

This is exhausting. Guys. I’m exhausted. I didn’t know *that* much about politics before- to be entirely honest. I’ve voted in every election took action when I was really passionate about something but I feel like I’m learning SO MUCH MORE than I ever payed attention to before and I’m just exhausted and…

Serious question: if you support Trump, but “not the things he says or does,” what exactly are you supporting? Ill-fitting suits? Tacky hotels? Bad toupees? Seriously, what political alignment can you find with someone who neither acts nor speaks in a way you find acceptable.

There’s a part of me that wonders if it really is the death of his mother, but not necessarily in the way that people think or have projected. I suspect that yes, he does have legitimate mental health issues and that they were exacerbated by his mother’s death, but I also don’t think there are people around him…

Damon Young at the Root summed this up pretty well in his piece on Monday.

Opiod addiction, massive narcissim. Former was confirmed this week by Ebro, latter was confirmed by Kanye himself in a Tweet. All of this is because “[he] couldn’t get anything done with Obama”, i.e. Obama entertained every celebrity but Kanye and called him a jackass on national TV. By the logic of the enemy of my…

Even I, the Platonic ideal of a mediocre white man
