My grandmother was super racist. She called black people “the coloreds.” Weirdly, she’s the only racist relative I ever managed to turn around on the subject. She still said “colored” instead of “black,” but she no longer meant it as an insult and she no longer added the “the” to make it come off so dismissive.

I worked for the State Department when DHS came into existence. Everyone who left State to go there was either in a dead end job because they were worthless or loathed (or both). So not only is DHS brand new it’s staffed with the worst the State Department could offer.

Zucker feels comfortable saying this publicly yet most people still consider CNN a valid source of news.

The least believable part of all of these conspiracy theories is the idea of Democratic FBI agents.

Fair enough.  Have a nice life.

Mueller left open the question not because they lacked evidence but because he felt that DOJ policy prevented him from indicting the president. If he could not indict he felt it was unfair to accuse since the president would have no legal recourse since the accusation could not be adjudicated via the courts. This was e…

I... didn’t see that coming. I mean, I thought you were comically paraphrasing him.

I’m terrible at Overwatch. I think that puts me at Dirt level or something? There are plenty of us there, all being terrible but enjoying the game and trying to win. And even though I’m a healer/tank (because I’m terrible at aiming) I still feel a little part of me die when the first five picks are Widow, Hanzo,…

OK.  I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.  Enjoy your life.

Both health care and impeachment were factors in 2018.

I’m not blaming Al Green because he tried to faithfully uphold his oath. I’m blaming Pelosi for cynically playing politics when we should be holding an incredibly corrupt administration responsible.

Impeachment would succeed since it requires only a majority in the House. Conviction would almost certainly fail. And Trump will claim exoneration whether he’s impeached or not.

The Mueller report is 448 pages detailing many instances of obstruction of justice. How much more evidence is needed?

It’s not a moot point. Not impeaching because of the racist controlled Senate is akin to not indicting because the judge is racist. The House needs to do its job regardless.

You’re not very nice.

CNN’s been pretty clear about this. They don’t care about news, only spectacle. Putting on reasonable people who agree that racist tweets are racist is news. Putting on a Nazi to fight with a normal person is spectacle.

Most polls seem to ask people “do you like having insurance, or would you rather die of leprosy in a ditch?” and then tout the results as support for the private insurance industry.

CNN also just brought on Richard Spencer for a rebuttal of “Trump is a racist,” and he somehow managed to surprise me by complaining that “Trump is all racist talk, not enough racist action.”  I didn’t think I was still capable of surprise but here we are.
