“Grab the guy when he comes in to get paperwork for marriage.”

Hell, Trump is probably going to ask the Saudis for advice on how he can implement something similar in the US. 

And that would probably be pretty cool!

Your suggestion for an alternative?

The dude who promised free college for all with no tractable plan to pay for it?

Supporting a candidate is not the same as having one’s face buried in their ass, but way to show your command of basic rhetoric.  I’m sure your Rhet/Comp professor must be incredibly proud of your…

That moment when being a trust-fund kid who has the ability to wax poetic about a system they’ve never taken the time to understand is suddenly meant to be a legitimate worldview.

Holy fuck. Do you have any idea how committees function? Do you have any idea how the basic branches of government are intended to work?

Do…

You’re much more nuanced than I was in my comment. +1

Splinter is the Fox News of progressivism, you have to remember. The connection to reality around here is tenuous at best. 

This is just classic Splinter clickbait. They don’t want to have to admit that the people who told them that protest voting for Jill Stein would cost us the Supreme Court were actually right. 

Anticipating a working knowledge of government procedures and rules (especially when those procedures and rules would preclude the kind of high-handed moralizing that suffuses so many posts around here) is a fool’s errand.

Shit, a working knowledge of politics would’ve kept a lot of these clowns from the “she doesn’t…

This is some weak ass bullshit. The Democrats had no power. We’ve known since Kennedy retired that this was a losing battle, but it was a battle that the Democrats had to fight. They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made, and they lost, which was absolutely to be expected. This loss was…

Instead, Democrats put all their chips on an investigation by the FBI—an inherently evil organization which they have no control over. They could have gone right after Kavanaugh during his hearing.

She’s going to be so surprised when Don Jr. shoots it and has it stuffed as a birthday present for her.

It’s not centrist Dem’s that they are worried about, it’s low-info, barely politically cognizant white trash/’middle class’/working poor that they have to watch for, people that would be charmed by Beto’s ‘Everyman’ shtick while still being steeped in the rabid blood-and-red-meat republicanism that permeates everything…

I love that. “I voted for you in 2008 and kinda begrudgingly in 2012. If you look at Section 8, subsection B, paragraph C of this contract, you now OWE me your endorsement of ALL my personal political preferences on demand for the remainder of your life.”

I’m glad the comments here are a nice sanity check because I was reading this article thinking “Is this article really this stupid or is it just me?”

Nobody should link to Nolan articles.

He does kinda suck at not being President.

Yeah, I feel like this was a fairly savvy way of dealing with Texas?

Tell me more 1-day old account.
