I hope they find enough dirt to bury him with.

I don’t think I’d appreciate Donald Trump Trump me a “fine woman.”

It’s famously true. He tweeted it, and he repeated it verbally.

It’s so funny, in a horrible way, that they are making the same mistakes the centrist Democrats made. Their partisan colleagues, however, aren’t nearly so forgiving as Democrats tend to be, and will find their caviling unpleasing and disqualifying.

I keep vacillating back and forth about this.  On the one hand, it’s probably good that I can still be outraged by this stuff.  On the down side, all of this despair and outrage is eroding my personality.

Agreed - there are some issues, namely civil rights, which as a country we decided transcend what a state, or local community, decide upon. What’s scary is to think our new Supreme Court will now have the ability to green light efforts to roll that back on the federal level. Then I think what you’ll see is a country

It’s so funny you say that, because they will insist that you’re the one with the issue because you’re ‘letting your emotions cloud your judgement and not looking at the facts’.

I think things are going to become more local. Look at California, long ahead of where the country (as a whole) is on many issues. Legalized retail weed started in Colorado, Washington, and Oregon and it’s now spreading, making federal laws basically worthless and unenforceable. People realizing they have more power

Because it’s so fun being a famous rape survivor! The endorsements come to you!

“That rat just wanted to go to the world’s biggest outdoor bar to get drunk and hit on women. Probably couldn’t even tell you who pitched.”

Definitely. I try to start out with even-keeled, measured responses like this most of the time... but I generally just cut off political commentary by them immediately when it starts, literally by telling them “if you appreciate my company and still want me to come around and visit, I will not talk politics with you.”

Oh Jesus, fuck off. You let one woman tell her story, and suddenly your whole fucking paradigm has crumbled? Maybe you didn’t deserve unquestioned fealty in the first place. 

Speaking for myself, if the thief who stole my backpack could do a skate-less drift, I might just let them keep it.

That first video just perpetuates the stereotype that all Japanese people are Street Fighter characters.

Don’t forget the full set of stitch-perfect replicant costumes from Gone With The Wind on mannequins, all with his face, down in the basement.

Looks like Feinstein needs to threaten to take Murkowski’s lunch money again.

How this wasn’t even alluded to in the main post, I’ll never know.

Manchin being there pretty much signals the fix is in I imagine.

Dude's sitting in the passenger seat. I don't see the problem here.
