The press shouldn’t be shut out of political events. Period. Right, left, Republican, Democrat.

ikr? just look at Splinter.

There shouldn’t be ANY off the record events for politicians.

This is why I wish Franken’s appeals for a review were respected. I don’t think any of the claims against him were validated. He made one off key joke as a comedian. If the stat that 7-10% of sexual assault accusation are falsely reported is true: That’s quite a few people at this point. Like 1% of people on death row…

Hillary Clinton ran on the most progressive agenda in the history of the USA... You should try reading actual things, not just the headlines from blogs... I know, I know, it takes effort and effort is harder than playing another game of candy crush.

OH FUCK YES.

“And here’s something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work…

Well in their case they’re taking advantage of libertarians who are very very stupid.

I am not denying that she experienced the trauma of rape. I am questioning why she became an active member (and leader) of a movement without acknowledging the hurt she inflicted on another person. It takes a great deal of dissonance on her part to ignore the hypocrisy of her stance. 

She played his mother in a film (when he was 7) and 10 years later she rapes him in a hotel room. This woman is fucking sick.

I’m an old who was glued to the Watergate hearings when I was a precocious pre-teen and I remember it well. What I’ve been hearing since 45 took the oath makes all that look like nothing, it is getting worse by the week and still we have most of the house and senate with their heads in the sand (or up their asses) and…

too bad this is not the reality we live in.

Even if you’re the sort of person who believes that we should have aggressive border protection, how is it anyone can support an organization that can’t even be bothered to be decent human beings?

>> latest way to voice your disapproval of the Trump administration? Uh, according to the former military commander who was instrumental to the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden, it’s asking the president to revoke your security clearance. Sure, I guess? <<

Hopefully, Macron will advise him that France will be closed that week because they have “a thing” to take care of and it’s “something” that can’t be put off.

Wow, the biography of Bill Belichick gets dark.

Splinter: Acting like Stroppy Toddlers at Things We Don’t Understand Since 2016

This. The big issue is that silencing critics with payback, regardless of party or place within our gov’t, is intolerable in a democracy. To complain (poorly) about it being a military man who penned the op-ed, missing how big the impact of it will be, is incredibly foolish...

The biggest problem I have with the media at that time was they did not publicize how Trump has literally been nothing but a failure throughout his entire life. Every business, he ran into the ground. He owes billions to the US banks and they all banned him. They ignored every bankruptcy, every failure, even how he…

So, I’m guessing Gen. Mike Flynn’s clearance will be revoked ASAP b/c he lied to both the Vice-President and the FBI (does that not qualify as “erratic behavior”?) and pled guilty b/c of the latter action. Oh wait, that’s never going to happen. Sorry, I keep forgetting you cannot shame this administration w/ its…
