According to the dialogue at the end of the video they shattered one of the bus’ windows.

Yes, I honestly couldn’t tell if the author was being sarcastic when she said that! Like the protesters literally waved at the people on the bus as they calmly walked by in a very unthreatening manner. Yeah, there was a fire or two in the background, and the protesters are definitely well-prepared for more serious…

It looks to me like, if it were to happen here in the US, lots of people would have been shot (beanbags, maybe, if lucky) and scores arrested and denied basic rights, due to this hypersensitive admin’s FEELS.

To be fair, it looks wild

Yep- in 10 years it’s gone from “I disagree with your policy” to “HOLY SHIT, YOU’RE EVIL!”

Typo: “Horay for Democracy” WTF spellcheck?

Now, I know these guys were alive when the Berlin Wall fell and when the Soviet Union dissolved. And I’m pretty sure these conservatives were the “tear down this wall” and anti-communist guys. Now we come to discover that it’s because they’re pro-fascism, not pro-democracy.

when you hear some shithead babbling on about “the nanny state,” it’s always because they want a “daddy state.”

Heavy, heavy sigh. I live in Maine, and...I’ve spent the last week trying to decide who’s worse- him, or Christie. The only good news we’ve had in awhile, is that he is NOT planning to run for US Senate. Of course, that could change at any time.

But they’re “capitalist” authoritarians, so they’ll let the “free market” “run” things instead of “big government”. So it’s all cool.

The us-them bullshit is just astonishing. Journalists are constituents whose job is to find facts about the government that we all pay for. They are not some alien infestation. If politicians can’t manage a positive headline they need to clean up their act and/or hire a better pr person. This is headed straight for…

I know, it’s terrifying how quickly this has gone belly up. I remember in 2004 how we all speculated that beneath the “values party” veneer they were all probably fucking fascists, but I never really believed that the entire party would fucking pull their masks off, burn them, and dance around gleefully shrieking…

Hm. That’s interesting.......

Would it make you feel any better to know that statement was almost certainly an excuse to make all of his well documented ineptitude seem purposeful and intentional?

Indeed, back in January (which feels like years ago).

“Maine’s fun-loving Republican governor Paul LePage implied that he makes up stories to confuse the press; in a radio interview, he also said “the sooner the print press goes away, the better society will be.” 

Didn’t congress already try to defund it?

They’ll probably just eliminate the department entirely.

So... do you think Trump & Co. didn’t fire him because they realized how bad it would look or (more likely) they didn’t even know the United States Office of Government Ethics was even a thing that existed.

Good news is though now’s there a job for Michael Flynn.

Wait, why the Beach Boy hate? Are you not aware that your sister site, The A.V. Club, correctly proclaimed Pet Sounds to be a better album than Sgt. Pepper’s?
