Yeah pretty much, you don’t judge a healthcare system by the absolute best available(although the UK and Switzerland in particular have that too), but by the best available to the most people. You go to the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark etc. you get healthcare that’s as good as anything found in the US and…

God I fucking love Veep.

The man I was briefly married to (42 days, yo) just LOVES that Tomi Lahren to pieces. Yet another reason I sigh and thank my lucky stars that we were never meant to be married, that he was the biggest liar that every lied a single lie oh and that he was cheating on me because he was a moron.

Plausible deniability: Modern travel can turn even the most docile person into a raging asshole.

That’s a perfect example of the problem. First of all, she doesn’t read the article she says backs her up, then bashes the very website she got the “information” from in the first place, and then resorts to insults.

This “intellectual elitism” stuff that conservatives keep throwing at me is really starting to feel like gaslighting. Like I shouldn’t display my own intelligence because I am a woman and a liberal. Kind of mostly feels like the former, actually. Hate it.

That’s one of my favorite conspiracy theories. I’m a medical researcher, nobody is paying us enough to keep the cure for cancer under wraps. They definitely aren’t paying us enough to keep it a secret when one of us, a friend, spouse, or family member gets cancer. No price would keep me from releasing the cure for…

I feel the same way. Except I’m a heterosexual woman, & my example is Rachel Maddow. Maybe it’s just a newscaster thing!

I teach rhetoric (so, so fun this time of year) in college, and I can tell you that kids of all political ideologies struggle so hard with having to provide evidence. We’ve done so much to decimate our education system and to promote the idea that educated people are elitist snobs. When faced with determining a…

I know some very sexy trees.

I got into a discussion with a trump voter yesterday- I expressed skepticism about the upcoming administration, and she said, “He’s already doing great! He saved 1400 jobs today!!” I asked where she saw that, and she posted a link to the CNN story where they detailed the Carrier air conditioner agreement reached with…

I got called a liberal elitist for commenting about a nativity scene being removed from a city hall “Go to a church if you want to see a nativity display.” After getting a bunch of defensive “don’t look”s I asked if this was an Islamic display would they be just as upset? Ignored. So I said “Get over yourselves.”…

Anderson Cooper, and my reaction to him, helped cement, for me, the idea of a spectrum of sexuality. Cause even though I identify as straight, have never fooled around with a dude, and have never had (past fantasies in my alone time) the inkling to ever fool around with a dude, my reaction would be damn similar to Mr…

I’ve no issue with people disagreeing when it’s based on reality.

Right? Oh, am I an intellectual elitist because I like facts? Well, so be it then.

I saw a really great meme on Instagram but can’t find it now.

My paternal genetic donor who is a trump supporter loves going on about the articles he reads on Facebook like they are the holy grail of knowledge.

But liberals are smug and condescending when they point out these people are idiotic fucknuts.

Bullshit, see Europe, high tax rates and the best countries for innovation tend to be the ones with the highest levels of tax. The only real problems with high tax rates is if that doesn’t translate into services(which it doesn’t often in the US), in European countries with high tax rates you see your money back in…
