Have you ever considered that a person can be liberal/progressive as hell but unable to act on it to the extent wished? The president, as evidenced by the circus currently going on in DC, is not a king. If he’s going to get anything done he needs Congress behind him — and Congress was NOT behind him for most of his…

Well, yeah. What exactly can Obama do at this point? He’s likely not going to endorse anyone in particular (especially since he’s not giving it to his own former VP) and ex-presidential norms (ahhhh remember when those still counted?) prevent him from criticizing or even remarking upon his successor, not even to tell…

Epstein met with his lawyer like, the previous day or so to lock up his money in a trust account so his victims can’t get at it. The convenient timing of this is fairly indicative (to me) of a suicide. HOWEVER, whether he was ‘encouraged’ strongly to do so by someone with an interest in him not squealing and/or he…

oh what the hell. Why did I click on that. And how would the logistics even work for --- never MIND I WON’T THINK ON THIS FURTHER

Me too. I can’t even tell little lies because then my anxiety and guilt builds up to the point where I confess anyway. Some people don’t have a conscience at all, and I bet a good portion of the population is on the psychopath spectrum.

At first I was like, don’t you need to have the FBI vet you to get that level of security clearance, and surely they would’ve caught all this -- but then remembered that we live in the dark timeline where you don’t need to qualify for security clearances to access the top levels of government. Just look at…

Ahhhh I work in non-profit development and I can say this is fairly categorically true across the board. Some are better than others, but generally speaking depending on the type of career and level of wealth they have, the entitlement is real. As well as the expectation that you read their minds to pander to their…

there’s a vegan pizza place near me that does vegan “mozzarella.” I get some people have that dietary restriction, but it just gives me the sads.

I too swore off milk cuz of lactose intolerance, but since they introduced lactose-free milk that doesn’t taste like over-sweetened shit (looking at you, Lactaid) I am SO THERE.

I mean. The username kinda warns you.

I don’t. Can you imagine the sheer number of conspiracy theories that would arise out of that? Hillary would never be safe.

What an awful way to exist. 

I don’t think she deserves any of the attention people give her, positive or negative. She’s a trophy wife. She knows it, you know it, I know it, everybody knows it. She knows which side her bread is buttered, and she’s not going to deviate from it as long as she’s got a guaranteed payday when he dies and she’s…

I’d just had my driver’s license for about a month when I bought a stick-shift Civic and drove it off the dealer’s lot and 20 miles back home. That was also the first time I’d ever driven manual in my life. It was back in the day of the first FatF movie and everybody my age were buying stick-shift burners to supe up.…

I came in here specifically to reference Homeward Bound! so kudos.

what kills me in these situations is that they dont’ think they’re racist at all.

Lordy, how are you having this conversation in THE ROOT?? and I just had a wrangle about racism in Jezebel. The trolls are crazy active right now.

It’s obnoxious how old fashioned notions like women not being allowed to have or socialize with male friends unless the male partner is in tow, continues on. Or the fact that the only reason why a couple might want to break up after many years is due to HER cheating.

It’s not a fucking transcript, yet is still damning. And clearly he’s betting that none of his followers will actually bother to READ the memo.

I’m going to need some sources cited on this one. Are you Asian?
