hey, remember that time Jon was out there stumping for a health insurance company’s Please God We Have To Stop Medicare For All front group? it was called United States of Care. funny story.

What’s terrifying about this and Epstein case was they both used women to manipulate other women, most likely blackmailing them with either photos, assets, fear of legal repercussions or all of the above. Assuming these women are even still alive, they are the key to these cases, however, since these men already…

lol i’m not sure you’re quite understanding the power dynamics at work here.

Your final paragraph nailed it. And there absolutely were people at the time, as the article points out, who were saying the stimulus we got wouldn’t be enough. Obama’s efforts to govern like a “normal” president against an opposition party that absolutely refused to treat anything as “normal” for as long as he did…

Really? That’s your burden?

This is problematic logic. If anything, the Obama administration alums have too much of a personal conflict to dispassionately analyze their record. They were too close to it, emotionally involved and attached. I know this is just another one of the vapid anti-Splinter comments that are inundating the site lately, but…

Probably not. Sounds like he’s the sadist, not a masochist.

You know, I’ve seen a lot of former Obama alums admit that this is probably the greatest failure of his administration. Whether there was a more progressive alternative that was realistic is debatable, but the way the worst actors in the economy were largely spared from serious consequences and able to continue their…

Given that in NYC a (black, or hispanic, or trans) woman can be arrested as a prostitute for having too many condoms on her person, or dressing a certain way, I’m sure this white rich man entering documents into evidence where that amount to unforced confessions under his own signature of committing at least seven…

Coming for Al Sharpton? Really? The man has been fighting entrenched racial injustice for almost 50 years. You think in all that time, he hasn’t said controversial things, who is Gaetz targeting by these asinine attacks?

He sounds more like the guy who wants to be holding the hayfork.

He also successfully cheapened the hearing and wasted a considerable amount of time. By making the hearings a joke, people don’t attach much value to them and just assume “both sides calling names.”  It’s hearing nihilism.

Absolutely stooging... straight up.

Jimmy Neutron sure grew up to be a big asshole.

I’d to see he/she/it permanently banned so I don’t have to look at their troll shit. It says a lot about someone when they spend ALL OF THEIR FUCKING TIME trolling people that will never see things from their ignorant perspectives.

Agreed. I understand that calling someone a liar has ramifications, but just once I’d like to see Lester Holt stand up and yell, “That’s a god-damned lie, and you know it, Mr. President!”

Exactly. And I said elsewhere yesterday, NPR has been pulling this shit too - having whatever fucking liar on spouting their shit and NEVER doing a fact check or pushing back. Just letting them say it.

Mostly Tomatoface doing his tired schtick, thankfully.

It was a staff, faculty and parent party, so not a student. That’s the only element of the photo nobody needs to worry about
