I’m very happy for Mrs. Carter and her family, but that photo looks like it was put together by a not particularly talented 8th grade photography student with no budget.

TWINS

Good for them, babies are great. That photo, though....that’s pretty fucking awkward.

I was happy about this and then I realized it’s the only good thing to happen so far in 2017. And we’re a month in. So.

So extra ...

I also don’t remember Obama’s nominations being this extremely unqualified for their jobs, or antagonist to the agency that they are now going to be over.

God, I miss that show! So ahead of its time!

Fuck Orin Hatch. Fuck him right in the ear. Motherfucker has been obstructing for 40 fucking years. He’s a raving hypocrite. Maybe this is the beginning of the dissolution of this country, and maybe the beginning of us splitting apart and self-selecting where to live and how to govern. Who the fuck needs the right…

Yep. So what if the GOP threatens to nuke the fillibuster? You think they won’t do that next time anyway when they *really* have a chance to stack the court?

Agreed. And people saying don’t filibuster Gorsuch, just shut the fuck up. Don’t you realize that if your starting statement is, “well we don’t want to sink to their level” - then you may as well just proactively write a bill that hands the entire US government to the Republican part in perpetuity because they are…

Democrats need to understand that there is no good will to be gained from Republicans by trying to appear reasonable, hopefully this has made that crystal clear to them moving forward. Props to Kirsten Gillibrand, it appears she learned the correct lesson from the Iraq War authorization vote.

“We took some unprecedented actions today due to the unprecedented obstruction on the part of our colleagues,” Sen. Hatch said in a statement. What does unprecedented mean again?

Anything that identifies itself as a Republican should be regarded as a species traitor 

Speaking of the EPA:

This is a great opportunity for CNN to recapture its former status as a place where quality journalism is done. Get rid of the talking heads and go out and interview people. Do three hours a day on what it’s like to be a marginalized person in Trump’s America. Talk to political scientists about the repercussions of…

Don’t fixate on it. This is very different and incredibly dangerous.

A friend who attended this protest posted similar pictures of this, and I was so touched. Glad to see this get national coverage. (And it’s a nice ray of humanity and positive news from Michigan. We could use even a little good press.)
