It’s been increased by 39 states, to $2500 in Texas and $2000 in South Carolina, the idea being that marking a bicycle-thief with a felony so that they can’t get a job once they get out of prison doesn’t help to reduce theft. The misdemeanor already carries up to a year in jail.

“Thanksgiving, when we are supposed to be ... not acting like selfish, atavistic pigs.”

Republican voters are being urged to support politicians who are >against< their ( the voters’) self-interest

Their argument is “vote for a pedophile so we can give rich people tax cuts and gut Healthcare”.

the scariest part now is hoping and praying this FOOL doesn’t get impeached and leave Pence in charge, who’s even more evil.

There’s a reason us grumbly old dudes kept on telling people not to vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson.

Oh God yes, blame those people. SUre it’s their right to vote for who they choose but sometimes you have to do the adult thing and stop someone terrible instead of voting for someone you think is great. If those folks pinched their nose and voted for Hillary like I did, Trump would be a joke we could laugh about for…

Can I be 100% honest? America really underestimated how deep seeded white supremacy is in this country. That’s really what it boils down to (and also a side or misogyny). Think about it.

As much as Trump sucks the Hitler comparisons make a lot of sense to anyone with the slightest understanding of history. It’s simple, it’s scary, it’s dangerous.

i’m not sure this is the same as electing george w bush. george w was dumb (to put it bluntly). donald trump is dangerous. millions of americans - many of my friends - will lose health insurance. the supreme court is officially gone for a generation. roe v wade could be overturned. we have a lot to lose right now, and…

I hope everyone who voted their conscience feels really good right now.

I’m surprised the anchors on right now are keeping so composed right now and poker faced. I really want Wolf Blitzer or Anderson Cooper to say ‘...the Fuck is going on?’

I am part German, and for as long as I can remember, Americans have asked me how on earth Hitler could have been elected in such an advanced and wealthy nation. Perhaps they will no longer have to ask.
