Elected judicial seats—as implemented in most of this country, at least— are a terrible idea, because they allow hordes of unqualified, know-nothing fuckwits to become judges on overtly political platforms. I might be OK with a hybrid system like the one my state uses, where the executive nominates judges and the…

You do realize that there are always other candidates and causes on the ballot in a Presidential election than just the executive, don’t you? There are governor’s races, Congressional seats, local positions, ballot initiatives... I failed to even mention it in my comment, but that’s the other reason why it’s so…

No, I’m not going to let them off the hook. They are responsible for this situation, too—and by letting them forget it, we risk the same thing happening in 2018 and 2020. So many of those apathetic non-voter friends and acquaintances I mentioned were fucking appalled when Trump actually won. Some later told me that…

I’m more angry at his shitty attitude than I am at the practical effects of his not voting, which I admit were negligible. But I had numerous conversations with people during the election who espoused the same apathetic viewpoint, and there were far too many takes from lefty commentators and columnists which…

I guess I’m one of the mythical “undecided voters,” in that I am undecided as to whether I will vote at all. There are surely more undecided voters like me than of the other type, those civic-minded numbskulls who populate televised town halls and Frank Luntz focus groups because they are positive they will vote, but…

Trump used to be pro-choice and pro-gun-control. I don’t think he gives a shit what anyone used to believe about anything, so long as they lick his boots—and almost no one has been a better bootlicker than Jeanine.

Where’s Judge Jeanine’s entry? Because at this point, I’m giving it at least a 50% chance that he nominates her because she says nice things about him on the teavee.

And I agree that it’s very important for us to do so, but that’s not going to help us all that much with combating the actions of an even-more-conservative Supreme Court.

Except... that wouldn’t help us at all on this one? The House has nothing to do with confirming Supreme Court nominees. 

FYI everyone—Fakespot gives this a “D” grade, indicating that approximately 40% of the reviews are fake astroturfing by the seller. Not a good sign.

But it won’t take long.

I’m not concerned about the death of the kind of “civility” that the NYT champions, where our politicians murmur sweet nothings to each other in dulcet tones while big business and the rich slowly fuck the rest of us in the ass, sans lube. I also think it’s insane to yammer about politeness while Donald fucking Trump…

Trump’s popularity has only been going up lately because the economy is doing well, and because most Americans are too stupid or too ignorant to realize that he (like most Presidents, but even more so in his case) has had little to no practical impact on those numbers. The tax bill that he signed—but had no hand in…

Fuck you, Rick Berman! You ruined this too? Stop ruining-

I’m sure the good people at DHS are providing these forms in Spanish to the migrants and making sure that someone reads it to them if they cannot do so. Right? Right?

Wouldn’t he want to release the report before the election, so there’s a greater chance that the Democrats actually take back the House at all? He’s not stalling. He’s still angling for an interview with Donny, and if he can’t get that, he’ll subpoena him. By the time that happens, the report should be more or less…

Did you mean “haunt the smoking crater that used to be the White House”?

On a purely technical level, your understanding of what happened is simply not accurate. I would encourage you to read the report to obtain a better understanding of what actually did occur, but if you’re like most conspiracy theorists, you are no doubt completely uninterested in hearing any new information which…

You have never studied the sciences or engineering, have you?
