This is a very interesting point that I hadn’t thought of before. It is kind of insane that there’s a job at the highest level of our government where people work until they die.

I know nothing about anything, but the NYTimes says this:

I am just going to say this but she should have retired in 2014 when the Dems still held the Senate and she knew she had end stage pancreatic cancer. She was an icon but that doesn’t mean she didn’t fuck us totally by not stepping down. 

She is everything he loathes: a person of color, a woman in power, and a competent one at that. He knows for a fact she could eat his breakfast, lunch, and dinner and not be phased by him in the least no matter how much he Twitter shits.

The service industry already has an exceedingly high rate of racial and sexual harassment. I am so, so utterly shocked that a hotel known for celebrity guests and seedy stories would amplify that. Very shocked indeed.

He stole his response from Ellen.

Does your sister have an inferiority complex? I’m not being insulting, at least not trying to be. I’ve just found that certain folks seem to have a knee jerk dislike and distrust of people they perceive to be erudite. For some reason, certain folks see anyone smarter than them — especially if that person knows they’re…

Never underestimate just how much of a fucking idiot Matt Gaetz is.

“Politics, they say, is show business for ugly people. The real question is who writes the scripts and produces the acts. You are governed by the theater geeks from high school, who went on to make it big booking guests on the talk shows,” Gaetz writes. “Ignore them and they’ll ignore you, and you’ll go nowhere fast.…

Where were all these outraged QAnon people when Trump ordered kids to be separated from their parents and put in cages in the concentration camps on the border?  I guarantee that some of those kids are being sexually abused.  I don’t recall any big “Q” signs at the Families Belong Together protest I went to.

The ones I know are the exact opposite of that, yet they more worried about the people you describe than themselves. It’s mind-boggling.

The Trump supporters I know are all people who are financially secure, driving Cadillacs, living in 3000 square foot houses, with two secure jobs or pensions, and usually with health insurance. They are, bar none, the biggest bunch of deluded whiners I’ve ever known, and I used to be a high school teacher. I have…

We always say this, but she could have been an excellent and highly-respective African studies professor who just happened to be Jewish and from suburban Kansas City.

Why are you surprised that receptionists at random hair salons are not wasting their time entertaining a random phone caller’s random questions about extensions at the RNC?

I feel like I should speak up for a (probably small) demographic. I care deeply about abortion rights, and have since I was about 10. BUT I don’t always click on each story for the simple reason that 1. I know it will piss me off and I have a 4yo in lockdown and can’t afford to lose any more patience than I already do…

Really sick of seeing so many celebrities on social media gleefully sharing anti-Trump videos by Lincoln Project. George Conway and all these Federalist Society asschunks are a huge part of why Trump is the face of the Republican Party in the first place. Are we supposed to forgive them and excuse that because they’ve…

I still don’t understand how McCain let that happen.

Yeah but at least Wallace has done a really good job of realizing what a sh** show she was a part of and being somewhat resentful and calling out the Republicans left and right (including her former colleagues) on MSNBC. I would say she is probably won of the most reformed of any of the former GOPers.

This is probably why Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 has never worked that well for me as a dystopian text, because it doesn’t really have a strong core idea. TV is bad for you? You should read more books? People who listen to music on headphones are shallow and self-involved? Even Bradbury has said that it wasn’t actually…

1. Let he who has not sinned self pleasured furiously as a third party to your wife’s dalliances while you kick out students for far less cast the first stone unconditionally endorse Trump on the one week in a four year period where Trump desperately needs his hypocritical endorsement.
