I haven’t even finished my coffee and I already feel like crying - I’m so tired of how miserly and mean spirited these people are committed to being. 

Can somebody explain this bit of performance art to me?

How much money would be available to help create low income housing (and healthcare and schools and infrastructure) if a few mega rich people and corporations paid appropriate levels of taxes?

“Maybe we can explain to them that work will set them free!!”

And also it’s SOMETHING. It’s someone finally doing this. And while it’s not huge maybe, it’s also not just a coupon for a free Whopper (with purchase). 

That one actually seems the most likely 

The scenarios I imagine:

And if someone went up to him and said “please governor, tell them to help me get some healthcare because i work 60 hours a week at 2 small businesses neither of which offer health insurance”, his story would probably be about how liberals harass him when he’s just trying to eat. 

Is nobody going to speculate on which Kinja commenter is Debra Messing??

That’s sitting about #3 on my reading list - I’m on a huge Russian lit kick at the moment (I’m even doing shit tons of Russian on duolingo, because I always go big and never go home). I’ll take this post as a sign to kick Notes up to the top of the list (if I can ever finish Master and Margherita, which for some…

I am in AZ and we have the same thing. I work at a diner (with no sign) and a dive bar (with a sign) and I dread ever having to enforce it.

Yeah is this a common insult or did he just let the first words that came into his head to come out of his mouth?

Been there, well put. 

Excellent articulation of something I vaguely understood about most of the trump supporters i know, but hadn’t quite put my finger on.  The idea of the clapback, that you can’t let any slight go unchallenged is a huge common thread. He stands up for himself!  He’s a man!!

Oh I wish someone told him the coriolis effect - then next thing you know he’d be complaining about Toyota Corollas. 

Maybe he’ll just be a regular character in a straightforward plot with no surprises and that will be the twist.

I certainly can’t come up with everything I did 20 years ago (or yesterday, i smoke a lot of weed). But if you ASKED me, did I ever do such and such, consider my memory jogged. She may have wiped it from the top of her memory, but I don’t buy for a second that she didn’t give an internal “oh yeah” when She was asked…

I get that a lot and that’s a great response. Stealing it!

Shushers need shushers. I often wonder what’s more annoying - my dog barking or me yelling “STAAAHHHHHPPPP BARKING!!!”
