My guess - our collective heads exploding watching Trump dismantle NATO and siding with our true enemy - Russia. Meanwhile, poking the Panda until there is a real limited shooting war in the Pacific. Europe becoming balkanized in ethno-states. The US corporate state becoming unassailable. Major health epidemics over…

What’s terrifying to me is that I don’t know what the end game and result is going to be here. I don’t think it’s nuclear war because that isn’t in the interests of the oligarchs here or in Russia but I would not be surprised by a complete roll back of all civil liberties and looting and rioting. That I can see.

I’m not so sure she won’t win. There are first-gen français-maghrébins supporting Le Pen because they are now anti-immigrant. Never underestimate France’s xenophobia.

“The two tour-system means that all of the moderates and left can collaborate in the second tour to deny “Le Pain” the highest office. Don’t know if it will work this time around tho.”

I am not sure if the author understands how the French system works. Le Pen is leading in the first round polls but she is getting slaughtered in the second round by Fillion. But given what has happened here I would never say never but I agree the French are much more inoculated to the bullshit than we are, plus they…

I’m listening to the Mattis hearing just to reassure myself that there’s at least one reasonably sane and intelligent person who’s going to be a member of this government.

I have yet to hear a single Republican explain clearly why they think the ACA is such a bad thing. Why giving 30 million citizens access to lifesaving care is something that needs to be undone. Or why they are not a bunch of blood-sucking, evil hypocrites considering they all get free healthcare for life at our…

Bush and co started the Middle East fiasco yet somehow it became all Hillary and Obama’s fault. The Republican voters will never admit they’ve been duped.

Republicans don’t care about your PC human rights

This is cartoon level villainy. Let’s be evil for the heck of it. Being good is boring.

Hearing Rubio grill Tillerman yesterday was great and all, but it all feels too little too late to me.

The thing is though, even if they showed all of the inside pages of the passport, a lack of a Czech stamp would mean nothing. Travel within most of the EU countries (give or take a few) is governed by the Schengen Agreement which allows people to travel within countries that have signed on to it (including the Czech…

Also, I’m so fucking sick of asshole idiot reporters and intelligence agents saying Russia was just looking to hurt Hillary — No, stupid heads, it’s about the sanctions, Putin want the sanctions lifted, DER. That’s why all of Trump’s nominees are hella climate change deniers and Tillerson said that sanctions are bad…

Yeah, I like how people keep forgetting the fact that one of his dumb shit sons said, blatantly, that they owe “hundreds of millions” of dollars to Russians. Like everything else bad that a Republican does, it gets a shrug. Because Hillary used a private email server (just like her predecessor, not that anyone cares.)

If they do have it, there’s not a monetary value you could put on it to make them give it up. If it exists, that tape is literally priceless, and worth much more than money.

You think that’s bad:

No, this has been a thing for a while now. For most of the Obama administration, Fox News would run fairly frequent segments about Russia doing something unilateral and dictatorial and say, “Why is it that the Russians have such a strong leader and we’ve got such a weak one? Why can’t Obama be more like Putin, tough…

Attacks on Clinton were enough to get people to vote for Trump. That, and this mealy-mouthed false equivalence bullshit that you’re engaging in right now.

In the name of “protecting possible victims of jail time from a acquiring criminal record”

This is a good reminder that one cannot talk of an innate sisterhood. I was at a Roxane Gay talk last night (side note she is the best) and in defense of the continued validity of feminism, she stressed the absurdity of pop culture’s attempts to define feminism as simply anything done by a woman with power. This is…
