There are very few things in life that are immutable, death being the only solid one I can think of. Everything else is up for grabs. Any in this world can be changes as long as there are people willing to put in enough effort to change it.

I had been having some problems with the fact that I kept trying to tell myself “nothing else Trump (or his team) does or says is going to surprise me anymore”. But then I am still surprised, shocked, and outraged every single day. I felt disappointed in myself, I even tried ignoring and avoiding any news about Trump.…

In this context, I think that it’s meant as a way to combat the slow boiling a frog effect. Sometimes we sit here and ask ourselves how normal everyday people in Germany in the 40's could turn on their neighbors, how here in the US, citizens allowed the government to round up Japanese Americans, take their property…

Holy shit, I thought I was the only one! I don’t know why but I grew up being opposed to raking leaves to my core. I would have no problem doing any other chore, I’d even clean the bathrooms. But never raking leaves. To this day my dad asks me why and I tell him I don’t know. It didn’t matter how much trouble I’d be…

There is no way to weigh Trump’s unstable, delusional, incompetence against Pence’s theocratical, regressive, dark ages mentality. What worries me about Trump is a wrecked economy and the real possibility that he would use, or threaten the use of nukes against a major power ending in some sort of armed conflict, at…

Unfortunately, Ms. Nash is going to find the same result regardless of where she banks. Unless she’s submitting a picture of a puppy, a sunset, or kittens playing in a field of flowers, she’s going to get her design rejected.

This is like trying to choose which leg you’d rather be shot in. In the end, you’re still getting shot and you’re still going to walk with a limp.

Nope. That would mean Pence would become President, which would be a different kind of horrifying.

I think you are missing his point. Trump and his team have repeatedly stated that there is no such thing as conflict of interest for the office of the President and VP. He’s graciously doing all of us a favor by going as far as he has to distance himself from his businesses. He said it plainly this morning that he…

This isn’t Alzheimer’s or dementia or anything like that. This is simply a sheltered, delusional, narcissistic asshole about to set this country on a path to the dark ages.

You can bet that this will result in loss of lives. What we are witnessing is Trump starting to form this administration like one of his businesses or more likely, like The Apprentice. He’s creating different camps that will end up competing with each other so he can get to pick “the best”. What will actually happen,…

Just give him time. This is someone that publicly stated, while running for President, that we should be hunting down and killing the families (women, children, parents) of terrorists to send them a message. I am holding out hope that there might still be enough opposition to prevent something like that from actually…

They still exist, I know plenty of Republicans that voted for Hillary because they just couldn’t stomach Trump. But I guess more to your point, many of them are starting to realize that they don’t fit today’s version of “Republican”

You know, that isn’t such a bad idea. Can you imagine the PR nightmare that would ensue if someone decided to bottle Flint city water, label it as such and send it by the crates to Chaffetz’s office and make sure the press was aware of it?  

We shouldn’t kid ourselves by underestimating the impact Trump is going to have. I was telling my wife the other day that this is the first President that stands to negatively affect pretty much the entire US population with his policies. The only ones that aren’t going to feel it are the top 1%, maybe they will feel…

Let’s put aside who we’re talking about for a second. Can we just agree that ANY President of the US electing to house his family outside of the White House is incurring unnecessary costs for protection?

Sure he can fire them whenever, but his choices should be alarming nonetheless. A racist Attorney General, a climate change denier heading up the EPA, a woman who wants to “Expand God’s Kingdom”* by making churches the center of the community instead of public schools in charge of Education, a Secretary of State who…

Early on, I had the same thought. That he was acting like this to get elected and when he took office would do a complete 180. After all, he was a Democrat until not too long ago. He’s on record with fairly progressive views (in the past). So for a short while, I thought he was going to take office and flip off the…

By that I mean that he is going to run the country like one of HIS businesses. Which means sell more than he can deliver, back everything with other people’s money, then cut and run at the first signs of trouble while somehow still making money for himself.

I don’t think it is about the craziness of the ideas the left needs to adopt. If we are to take a lesson from the Tea Party is that the left needs to be willing to play the same kind of game. We don’t need extreme views, we need to be unreasonable. We need to utilize the same obstructionist tactics employed by…
