“The losers think the only way they can become winners is by banding together all the losers and then empowering a leader of the losers to make things right for them.”

He sat around complaining, doing oxy, and scoffing at the risk of smoking. He’s still complaining, went deaf from oxy, and his smoking got him stage 4 lung cancer. His memory will be preserved in jpegs and memes.

I’ve honestly been thinking about this a lot lately, particularly when I try to click on some NYT or Washington Post article someone shares and find myself unable to read it because you have to have a subscription. I tried to watch the Impeachment Hearing on my work computer on MSNBC, which involved going to their…

I hold Rush Limbaugh responsible for poisoning the well of American discourse. I also hold him personally responsible for rotting my father’s brain with his hate and bullshit. Limbaugh’s show was the gateway drug to so much more conservative media infiltrating my home when I was a teenage and it has gotten so much…

The guy that was actively smoking cigars while mocking Michael J. Fox’s disease and saying out how billions of gallon oil spewing into the ocean isn’t that big of a deal got cancer... Hollywood ending.

That last paragraph. A-FUCKING-MEN.

Don’t forget that you can dismiss the troll.

How can we convince Mike Bloomberg to take the millions he’s spending on advertising for himself as a candidate and get him to start a liberal cable network to counter this constant barrage of hatemongering? Can you imagine how many people would start out by hate-watching the All-AOC Channel only to maybe have somethin…

The Medal of Even More Freedom.

Seen here: Donald Trump providing Rush Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Trump’s done far worse things in his presidency, but this hit me hard. I let my brain be poisoned by Limbaugh and his ilk back in my late teens before coming to my senses. It’s sickening that he got the Medal of Freedom. 

This was a cynical play on our hero worship of people with cancer as saints. Cancer does not redeem anyone. Cancer is the second leading cause of death, with lung cancer being top amongst the cancers. Cancer is a fact of life, not a saving grace. 

And this, friends, has been the person who provided the seeding for today’s extremist right wing. Not Fox News. Limbaugh has been on the air for over thirty years and the summation above is totally on point - he has spent four hours a day, every weekday on AM radio stations across the country, sputtering on about any…

I grew up in a small town, we had one public school and one private Catholic school, but we shared the same buses. I remember being a (public school) kid and thinking “wow, all of these girls must be huge Britney Spears fans to dress up like her every day.” It wasn’t until several years later that I realized I was an…

While I am in agreement for the most part, you can’t pretend that the timing of Hillary’s statement wasn’t deliberate. This wasn’t her expressing her grief, it was a political action pure and simple. That so, the politically motivated responses are more than justified.

It’s hard not to look at this article as another to add to the “Bad Takes” pile when the central focus is that this pushback had a racial component, when you know for a fact that if Bernie or #MayorCheat had pulled this, it would have been just as bad...

The Democratic establishment playbook can be reduced to upper middle class interests. When they talk about candidates like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren being “unelectable,” they’ll say things like “he/she doesn’t appeal to people of color like Biden,” but when people of color don’t “fall in line” like they…

I saw a woman respond to Tlaib’s apology thread on Twitter who called her behavior deplorable. “You realize you’d be nowhere without @HillaryClinton,”

Holy shit, I may just be done with political discourse for the day. That someone actually put their fingers to the keys to type out such inane fuckery as this. WTF. Do…

So let me get this straight, HRC is running off at the mouth from the sidelines, and that is fair game, but somebody gives her some pushback and all of a sudden they are in the wrong, nah...HRC needs to be make up her mind, does she want to settle scores or help get that petulant child out of the WH, my guess is she’d…

Everyone knows the individual platforms are based on things that the person hopes to achieve as president. The winner will ultimately have a watered down version of what they promised. Duh!
