This is a great example of why unions fell out of favor over the 20th century: too often, they cozy up to big business and exist primarily for enriching their leaders at the expense of the workers whom they are supposed to represent.

That first one isn’t necessarily the worst sports take. Also, I assume as someone who probably uses blackmail, she gets it.

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. Republicans may not all be active racists, bigots, and white nationalists, but they don’t see any of those as being disqualifications for being part of the republican coalition or for being part of this administration. In the reality of trumps 2017 there is not a lot of…

Setting aside how I feel about the fiscal policies of the Republican party, I’m allowed to decide that holding her nose on the enabling and outright encouragement of bigotry, not to mention playing footsie with outright white supremacists, for the sake of promoting her preferred fiscal policies, suggests that her…

And in the case of Trump’s cabinet, they’ve cut out the middleman, as the corrupt legislators and the corporate masters are the same people. The lunatics are officially running the asylum.

I can’t imagine that the solution might be to levy a progressive income tax that ensures millionaires and the like are paying their fair share rather than a laughable pittance.

Cool, so cut defense

For fuck’s sake. Double thumbs up at a fucking Wounded Warriors event.
