Yeah, he’s done this two times, same joke, aloud, in front of all the people in the room not realizing it’s completely inappropriate. His wife’s had to tell him to stop.

I’m Jewish on Mom’s side- what you said was fine. Those criticizing you are just being oversensitive and silly.

Well said! I’ve always believed that investing government money in medical research was key to lowering healthcare costs.

I don’t know about today, but these living environments were unbelievably common back in the 70's/80's/90's in urban environments all over the country, often revolving around rock/punk rock/grunge local music scenes. They came together for the simple reason that rents were low in houses filled with more people, where…

A lot of guys, and women, find themselves in ambiguous sexual situations at some point in their lives, often during or after parties, often both very drunk. Sometimes, there’s miscommunication, sometimes the people themselves barely remember what they said. But in every case, each party remembers the situation…

I could see this circle as being a bit problematic.

I’m a bit surprised that the Kennedy School would give Spicer a platform, as Spicer was such an outlier as a press secretary, being not very knowledgeable about either policy or history (Assad/Hitler), not particularly bright, etc. And, that’s apart from blatantly lying to the press- and gaslighting the country to an…

“Most of the time, when you see somebody attractive, and you really want to fuck them, the correct course of action is NOT to gain enthusiastic consent.”

“That’s great. But are you totally certain about that? What’s your threshold here? Have you checked with people from your past to make sure they didn’t feel uncomfortable or hurt by your actions?”

Why? Is legally counter-protesting white supremacists going to suddenly cause them to double or triple in number?

Except, that no reasonable person is trying to completely silence Richard Spencer. As far as I know, no one has tracked him down and tried to kill him, no authority figure has tossed him in jail or prohibited him from moving freely around the US and world during the 39 years of his sorry existence.

I think the idea among most progressives is that not only would everyone receive free college, but there would be massive government funded infrastructure projects as well- these would ostensibly all but guarantee employment for pretty much anyone who wanted it, at a decent wage.

Nancy Pelosi is a classic liberal; Joe Manchin is a conservative Democrat.

The 2004 Pulitzer Prize for fiction was won by the novel The Known World, written by Edward Jones on that subject.

“He could anally rape a dwarf on the South Lawn of the White House while Donald Jr. and Barron hold him down and these people would still find a way to spin it as a positive and blame it on the media.....”

No, Trump isn’t ideological. But the people in his base are, and to some extent he’s either attempting to act on their wishes, or he pretends he’s acting on their wishes.

Apples and oranges. The US has plenty of problems, but our problems are very different from Mexico’s.

Even if they practically run a company into the ground, like Jeff Immelt did with GE.

I’m not okay with it.

I’m not so sure it’s about power, because the Republicans aren’t getting much done. And, Trump is a nationalist, not a free trader, like most of them. He wants to increase spending, not decrease it. And, he wants to renegotiate NAFTA, etc.
