I’m going to point you towards the Tuesday edition of Brad Friedman’s show — he goes into great detail on this. I’ve also seen articles about this in the Detroit paper — this is primarily a Wayne County issue.

Apparently there’s a statuatory charge you have to pay for the recount but the actual cost would be markedly higher depending on how tings turn out.

Frankly, the recount was a good idea just to expose irregularities in voting. There were about 85,000 ballots cast with NO presidential choice recorded. That’s simply…

I have to confess that I find The Rock super attractive.

My boyfriend’s friend father (I know that sounds so garbled), anyway, his dad has a top position at a well-known soda company. He’s been working there for years. My bf’s friend could have worked there permanently and during the summer he would be there as an intern or just helping out. Only if his dad would allow it,…

Black woman here. If my son or daughter wanted an internship or summer associate position at the firm where I am a partner, unless my kid is unqualified (i.e., subpar grades) then I’m going to give them a bump in getting hired, even if other candidates are “more qualified” (i.e., have better grades, more relevant…

Agreed. I work in a legislative budget capacity in another state and awful as this may sound, this amount of money amounts to budget dust in multi-billion dollar state budgets. They can come up with it.

Given that Gov. Snyder spent $3 million in taxpayer funds defending himself from Flint water crisis lawsuits, as a Michigan taxpayer I really don’t want to hear any whining from Republicans about how much it’s going to cost. A cost, by the way, which they have been grossly inflating, probably by including the costs of…

One of the most insane things about this? Trump screamed about a rigged system, lost the popular vote by nearly 3M, and the right-wingers are saying “everything is fine, recounts are dumb.” If the situation was reversed, you bet your sweet ass they would be threatening armed rebellion if there wasn’t a recount going…

Oh my god they are more willing to call conversion therapy what it is than mainstream media. And they use a queer person’s preferred pronouns without a trace of pearl clutching or moral panic.

Nepotism is definitely racial in that white people have so many more people at the top and a larger network period. But it’s funny for blackish to address this. The lead on Blackish (who I happen to love) is Diana Ross’s daughter. She’s insanely talented, but has benefited from nepotism.

Teen Vogue has been killing it with the hard news around this election, frankly. I almost want to get a subscription just to encourage them.

I thought this was exactly what she had raised the money for. The whole “it’s not like she is going to win if we recount” argument is a total sham.

In case anyone out there was confused about how the voting/enfranchisement system was rigged, here it is. Jill Stein filed for a recount. She paid the required fees. And now, suddenly, she is not “aggrieved” enough to demand a recount. Any registered voter should be entitled to demand a recount if they can pay the…

Maybe he shouldn’t wear a skirt that short either if he didn’t want this stuff to happen.

Or.. he could live where he wants to and idiots not do shit like this. We can’t start thinking that having swastikas painted on the wall of your house is your fault for being a black pro football player in a regular neighborhood.

Yea. I don’t want to “wait and see” or fucking “heal” this country. Their idea of us healing this nation is me not standing up for the civil rights of myself and others and just watching terrible things happen. Hell no. Democrats need to play by the republican playbook for a while, and honestly we would still have…

Traditionally, we just sell off ambassadorships not cabinet posts.

How dare you assume I have not suggested this in every board meeting?

As a millennial I can assure you this is not a meme.

As an official White Person From Connecticut™, I can brook much of this ribbing in good humor. My tartans and cakes and mug toppers will survive this onslaught of Magaryisms. My holiday good cheer will continue apace and my cup will runneth over with nasty-ass truffle oils while I listen to the Non-specific Winter…
