Do you think he was worried about being shot? Because as I understand the carry laws at the convention, that may have been a legitimate fear.

Hulk smash.

If you’re Jill Stein, are you at all insulted that these Bernie-or-Busters are just now giving you their support? Is it like getting the last-minute un-vitation to the destination wedding that’s only a week away?

If “Real America” is the Joe Walsh version of things, I’ll happily declare my loyalty to “Imaginary America.” Let’s get started on flag design STAT. Unicorns, anyone? Can we have unicorns?

Yup. The NYT recent Op-Doc video series had an installment titled “Talking with the Police About Race,” and a retired detective, also a person of color, pointed out that being the squeaky wheel about issues of racism and discrimination within the department made people worry about not getting a response to a call for…

These points cannot be overstated. It’s a bummer in some respects, but because I live in a true-blue state, my vote for the presidency functionally counts less than my That Friend From Back Home. You know the one. He lives in Ohio and jumps all over my Facebook feed by linking Steven Crowder videos in the comments to…

“We can’t be racists because Jindal and Rubio and Carson! Remember how the slate for the Republican nominee used to look like a Benetton ad? Are we doing it right?”

I wish that I had the twitter version of the vaudeville shepherd’s hook so that if I saw this kind of thing playing out in real time I could just whisk people off the stage.

This reminds me of a line from Liberal Redneck’s “Belief Don’t Matter None” video:

He also decided that starting an explainer tweet with “I feel misunderstood” was a solid idea. JT, buddy, your feelz are not central to this conversation. And if you don’t get that, maybe you are the one having issues with comprehension.

Was Jesus the original perpetually Friendzoned Nice Guy (TM)?

GOOD THING IN THIS DAY AND AGE WE DON’T NEED FEMINISM ANYMORE.

My almost-7 year old shamelessly supports HRC because “boys have been in charge for too long and it’s time for a girl to have a turn.” She, too, gave me the side-eye when I told her it’s been all men so far. She is also passionately committed to there being more girl ninjas.

I am not one to defend the misogyny inherent in the BernieBro camp. For example- the underlying assumptions of those Bernie v Hillary memes? Sexist. Sure. But the reporter’s question- Is Bernie staying in the race inherently sexist? I don’t think so.

It was a pretty leading question. And the following, starting with “My point is....” doesn’t really smack of impartiality.

By this reporter’s logic it was sexist of me to vote against McCain and prevent Palin from becoming the first female VP.

Has all my recent wishing on stars, after holding my breath driving through tunnels, while tossing coins in fountains, etc. for a Clinton/Sanders ticket been in vain? Because I’m happy to step it up and start blowing out other people’s birthday candles. I’ll hang out at my local Applebee’s all night long and wait to…

I’ve been known to throw away crap that my kids have left lying around, and later tell them that the dog ripped them up.

Me too. I would have really loved voting for NOT him. Again.
