This is your friendly reminder that disagreeing with or being against the government of Israel does not inherently make someone anti-Semitic.

There are serfs and there are campesinos here, you just choose not to see them or refuse to recognize them.

If you define ‘hard work’ as having bothered to visit Michigan and Wisconsin during the election campaign, then the words make sense.

Im so mad at the people on this site who defended him when the uso incident was reported. He shpuld have been forced put then. The dems have lost the moral high ground by not immediately disposing of Franken and Conyers like nbc did when the accusations against Lauer were about to drop.

He needs to go. I don’t care if this was during his “showbiz” phase, pre- upstanding senator. He was a grown ass man who should have had more respect for women. He’s just as gross as the rest of them, he needs to go.

Are you fucking kidding me with that shit? I hate liberals? I’ve been arguing since day one that Franken and Conyers should resign not because I’m a liberal hater but because I am a liberal. You think that making realpolitik decisions based on letting sexual predators stay in office makes the Democratic party look…

Oh let’s not pretend people on this very site are saying neither Franken nor Conyers should resign.

Well, he’s not a Democrat in congress so we are ok with him getting fired, right?

In fairness, Tripoli and Benghazi were generally operating like large cities in other developing countries - think of the second tier cities in Turkey for examples. Now they are war zones like most of the Arab countries that were destabilized in the past two decades. So while I think that we can agree that Ghaddafi…

Start with pressuring them to stop destroying countries that have stable civil societies.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama primarily.

Those who planned the destruction of Libya ought to pay a price for what’s going on in that country. At least they need to fund efforts to bring this modern day slavery to an end.

Not if you’re a militant super power that supplies a huge bulk of the world’s weapons. Then destabilizing former colonial states and weaponizing every party is a great idea.

Like that friend who wants you and the person who treats you like shit for no reason to get along by having you do more emotional labor and letting them walk all over you.

It’s the fallacy of the middle mixed with a strange American centrist fetishism. Meander around online enough and you’ll meet a whole class of “superior centrists” who think they’re so much better than partisans despite the fact that they usually are partisan and misinformed.

If you want know what the average Trump voter thinks, turn on Fox News. Hell, its what Trump thinks.

For some reason, the NYT, and NPR have adopted the policy that they need to fight the “liberal bias.” They never will, their platonic ideal of journalism that never existed to begin with is not achievable. they will never convince republicans that they are neutral. these people still believe in supply side economics…

This is where all the liberal hand-wringing leads us. If I see one more “Volk of der Heartland” piece which explains to us latte-sippers just what those inexplicable people are thinking so we can understand them better, I’m going to fucking scream. Mostly I’ve learned that what they think is not worth listening to.

I watched an HBO doc called Mommy Dead and Dearest. It was about young woman named Gypsy Rose Blanchard who convinced her mentally ill boyfriend to kill her mother. Gypsy’s mother had Munchausens by proxy. Gypsy’s mother drugged her, made her get multiple unnecessary surgeries, forced her to spend her entire life in a…

Happy Thanksgiving, Velocirapstar. I am always happy to see your posts in this space. It’s not a surprise to me at all that you do such valuable work in your day job as well. Hope you get some well-deserved rest time this weekend!
