Paranoia and “the outside threat” are built into American culture. There are so many dangerous examples of this line of thinking that so many see absolutely nothing wrong with.

Sex Trafficking (TM) is just the newest sensational phobia for Americans in no real danger. It allows them to think they’re concerned citizens…

Nobody from CalTrans please. Seizing houses through eminent domain and then scrapping those plans is not good policy.

Conservatives usually don’t want to stop something bad that is going on, just pin it on somebody they don’t like. That’s also why you have so many moderates who think anything bad that one of their beloved does is a smear campaign and engage in the same behavior. Principle doesn’t matter much when you have a priority. …

It’s so obvious who NYT thinks their readership is that at some point folks need to just divest from considering it a reputable institution. In just this year alone, we’ve had Tom Cotton advocating for martial law and PR for Jeffrey Toobin’s very obvious fireable offense.

I can’t seriously believe that any liberal org is still doing, “100 days of doing something, no matter how hollow or counterintuitive it is.” The First 100 Days is for marketing purposes and press releases. It’s how you show that leadership is not just coasting. The country is a dumpster fire right now so I would hope…

Absolutely tired of the, “this person is wrong, this is person is right. who is right?” type of prompts. If giving a platform to dangerous rhetoric is how you get engagement, ergo a check, you’re a parasite.

Being against “defund the police” is really one of the more fake bitch / sociopath adjacent things I’ve seen in a while because politicians know that there is a big chunk of Democrats who are white supremacy oriented and they desperately need their votes to even maintain the appearance of modern democracy. Trump…

Republicans are still able to win because white moderate Dems are always willing to rehab their image for them. Shut up.

“...saying that we’re talking about defunding the police. We’re not. We’re talking about holding them accountable,”

From lots of personal experience, your mom sounds like she was a loser and needed you to make her not be one. I call it Sofia and Dorothy Effect.

The conversation a lot of us have been trying to have is, “why do people think religion is immune from criticism?” and it never goes on from there. You can’t say religion is unfairly persecuted when people regularly do evil shit under the guise of it and there’s always a healthy majority willing to sweep it under the…

“Non-denominational” Christianity is almost guaranteed to be bigoted. It gets even more predictable when your church is a chain.

Tulsi Gabbard was too obvious of a plant. She still had some benefit of the doubt back in 2016 but you can’t be an effective spoiler if you let everyone know you’re the spoiler. Bloomberg’s “boot the progressives” run has all but been forgotten.

When you’re not working, do you even need staff? I don’t have the same level of latent narcissism a celebrity does, but I’d rather be vacuuming or cooking than singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” to the chagrin of everybody.

I hate to admit but snoring is in the top five reasons why I am single. I can’t function without sleep and I genuinely enjoy it whenever I can get it. Disturbing such a necessary and wonderful time in my life is the quickest way to send me over the edge.

Why the hell are so many celebrities contracting it? They’re rich enough to be able to afford whatever they need and they’re already isolated from the general public.

Is the pandemic really making your life so boring that you come and pick ridiculous fights with strangers where you’re obviously wrong?

You can even see on Google Maps that this a section of Clark between Addison and Sheffield. Where else besides Chicago would you find a sign advertising Wrigley, have a pub called…

I’m sorry but did the sister really think mentioning the vaccine trial would get her sympathy? Anti-vaxxers, by design, don’t care about other people.

Congratulations on opening up a family member who is already under duress to harassment from strangers and being used as a tool for their agenda.

I feel bad for her…

Somebody get a vet because this hit dog is hollering!

This shit isn’t funny except to white people who think service workers are their servants. As a ghey, I never got into David Sedaris. It was always obvious what kind of ghey did though.
