While none in the LGBTQ+ community were excited about his presidency, we were really hoping that this would be one area he’d not fuck with too much if this was going to have to happen.

This. I’m a trans woman who has a lot of trans friends. A depressing plurality of them have been homeless or very close to being homeless at least once in their life. A friend just finally got herself off the street recently, and it has been absolutely joyous.

That is a stretch and not at all what I’m saying.

what makes us think they won’t take that simulated session into real life?

Redundant.

Imagine that! New Deal-esque policies are just as insanely popular as the New Deal, itself, was! Who would have thought!?

There’s been a lot of research that tends to come down on the side that providing open, non-shameful means for individuals to engage in sexual activities of their choosing provides exactly the kind of outlets that reduce rapey impulses in the population.

I’ve felt the burn of this kind of mentality before, and it is awful. As a writer who doesn’t write that much anymore, I think I had a lot of my desire to express knocked out of me in undergrad when *everything* had to be about unique, identity experiences instead of... what whatever the individual desired to write…

Pence was the transition team lead. There is no way in the seven hells he gets anywhere close to the office of President.

You should watch read “All the President’s Men”

This is dangerous alarmist nonsense.

Cynicism isn’t an argument.

Counting down the days... Trump won’t see 2019.

His sidelining rercently does suggest they don’t want Renner anywhere close to the PR side of things... and I’m 100% find with him being written out behind the scenes. Kind-of amazed they didn’t just kill the character already and put this to bed. Renner’s behavior is atrocious.

Nah. At that level losing a position isn’t a big deal if it helps “Team Wealthy.” DeVos will go right back to being DeVos, none the wiser nor with any thought. Hell, most of these people are probably counting down the days until they can get back to the private sector where they live and act like royalty.

GOP candidates, especially ones in competitive races have to be wondering if having Trump lobby for them is a kiss of death at this point and they’d be better off having him stay as far away as possible.

Regardless, this gives me hope that the “blue wave” might materialize after all.

Exactly. This is the largest swing yet from the general, showing a 20 point shift to the Dems away from the GOP.

I don’t know how I’d wake up in the morning if I didn’t do so with our two little sweetie furball kittens.

I am in love.
