Were and still are.

I’m getting really annoyed with this “X is just a distraction for Y!” complaint. Literally every single thing coming out of this failed administration deserves our attention, but we have limited capacity to deal with it all. Pick and choose the issues that are most important to you and focus on them, but firing Comey…

Oddly one of the only forms of birth control they’d be okay covering

Clearly I wasn’t thinking about it too hard. Until afterward, and then it’s

Maybe preface with a trigger warning next time? That was ... nasty.

How is it possible that this motherfucker has THE WORST possible taste with everything. Literally everything. He’s a fucking caricature.

Thank you for reiterating the premise of the article, only with the inclusion of your slander of Democrats. Helpful.

Saying that Native Americans take anything for granted seems like one of the most outrageously offensive things you could possibly let pass through your lips.

I’m sure some of the kitchen workers or assistants are going just to get the name (I worked with Chef Some Guy*)

Tips are insane at places like this and the experience means that you have a better shot of getting hired at another place with insane tips.

You want to call the Democrats hypocrites, go ahead. There’s some decent ground there. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. So what. It doesn’t make one bit of difference, and doesn’t change the fact that Comey was investigating trump’s people, trump didn’t like it, and trump’s story about why he fired him is bullshit.…

As a Democrat who completely distrusts the police — local, state, or federal — I have never thought Comey was any good. He was a loose cannon with lousy judgement. And he got fired because he was enough of a loose cannon that he might just have hoisted Trump on some very real charges.

You (yes, you) are usually sharper and more incisive than this. The pendulum was swinging not between ‘bad’ and ‘good’ so much as ‘active traitor’ and ‘well, at least that law-enforcement officer has an obvious criminal to work against’.

I know. It’s weird how people could have different reactions to different actions by the same person. Like, how could anyone credibly think announcing the FBI is reopening an investigation of a presidential candidate just before an election, when he doesn’t even know yet if there is any new substantive information,…

This is not really what has happened but I guess it makes for good “libs be like” memes.

Follow up (on-topic) question, did Albert just own tom.blersch or did tom.blersch just commit a self-own with his uninformed comment?

Yea he definitely worded his reply wrong. Now if he would have said something like “Yes we screened them because we wanted to make sure that everyone from my district that was trying to attend would be able to do so” and then he could have thrown in a “if there were empty seats available after that then it would be…

As the reporter rightly was getting at with his questioning, the “I’m only accountable to the people in my district” defense rings a bit hollow when Blum’s largest donors are from outside of his district. If he can be bought by parties outside his district, then he can answer questions asked by Iowans outside his…

Trump looks like a political cartoonist drew him, thought the caricature was too exaggerated, crumpled the sketch into a ball and threw it away. Later, under deadline, he said “Eh, fuck it, good enough” fished the sketch out of the wastebasket, smoothed it out with his hands and sent it in.
