Shows what I know!

I bet he died laughing his ass off.

I would love to turn the clock back as much as anyone, but I have to agree. This is a distraction by a political opportunist gathering money from people’s fear and grief. She doesn’t want Clinton elected, she wants people to lose faith in the election system. The bonus cash won’t go towards important issues like…

I was up late one night last year watching BBC News. They had a special hour long segment from a news office in Kenya.

One of the features was about the rising problem of illegal hooch in towns north of Nairobi. Men were becoming so persistently drunk in the area, that their wives had begun a united sex strike against…

I would love this to work, but people should still be cautious of Stein. Make sure the money goes where it’s intended to go, and seriously press them on that.

It would be very easy for her people to turn around and say, “Damn, all that terrible election legalese and corruption really ruined our chances of getting the…

I love this reference.

That is some Dan Brown shit right there...

Movie Voice: When a madman becomes president.
Tom Hanks: There has to be a connection!

Tom Hanks: It’s gotta be in the emails. The emails!
Movie Voice: From the writer of Inferno.

Republicans. Desperate to drag more children into the world so that they can be abandoned to the harsh exposure of poverty and ignorance. Slowly dying of meth addiction and lead poisoning, believing the world is flat, and hating their fellow man before succumbing to the infinite void of nothingness. Just like god…

I imagine the lawmaker knows that a large number of liberal minded teachers would deliberately ignore this law for the sake of the kid’s well being. The purpose in that scenario, is to give them a legally protected reason to fire teachers who refuse to be monsters.

It would be an effective cull of teachers they don’t…

The west got really good at putting nazis into a villain box, but has never been good at exploring why their most heinous deeds were things human beings did. In many ways the stereotypical nazi has been fetishized in our culture. Just look at Star Wars. The design of Vader and the empire take heavily from German…

I am super excited for the first time Donald Trump angrily tweets: “I’M THE PRESIDENT!” to people protesting him.

The big issue with a lot of people is that it is very hard to notice such gradual change as an individual over time. So it comes down to how people judge information gathered from elsewhere, and there are a lot of people who simply don’t trust outside information that contradicts their own experience.

Something I have…

It is at times like this that I just can’t help but laugh.

I was talking to a friend the other day about Putin, and this idea that he maintains power by funding all kinds of groups from every part of the spectrum. Like, he’ll funnel money to an LGBT group while also funneling money to hyper right-wing anti-gay groups…

Trump, despite his habitual bluster, seemed awed by what he was being told and about to encounter.

I agree. His gracious proffessionalism in the presence of someone who hates him will have a lot more lasting resonance in the future than any ineffectual jabs the media will explode all over. If Trump is going to be a disaster, then Obama’s measured and reasonable nature will provide greater contrast.

Jesus fucking Christ, is that a head or a potential target-candidate for the New Horizons spacecraft?

He looks like the result of a dazed and recently-divorced necromancer stumbling into a Holiday Inn during the nineteen seventies and accidentally casting a resurrection spell on a leatherette floor pouf.

Even his tiny…

He’s going to spend the first nine months playing golf and holding bad rallies in his foyer while Gannon and Fleebus dismantle the government. By then some sort of (inter)national crisis will come up and he’ll start watching 90s Harrison Ford movies again to prepare for one or two speeches he’ll be required to give.

The…

I keep coming back to this thought, but remember when this guy was a big hilarious joke in the USA? Oh how everyone laughed..

He looks like a nice charming white fella who does nice safe interviews.

It just crushes me that with more than 50,000 years of civilization behind us, we will significantly shorten the future before us by sitting back and allowing a handful of willfully blind (and deliberately dishonest) fools to take the wheel of our own destruction.

It’s one thing to listen to my retired working class…
