I spent most of the day trying to think of something witty or funny, but I’ll just do one from the heart: Hope you’re having a happy birthday fit for one of our favorite writers. The Root is probably my favorite site to come to for (Black) news, so thanks a million for literally making my day. <3

Oh yeah I’d expect nothing less from that orange blob. Obama would always give a small thank you for your service and the sacrifices you make speech. But he would always include a small story or personal detail that one of the Marines or Sailors told him. To me that’s the sign of a true leader. The most powerful man…

I see that the dumb, uneducated, racist part of middle America is still pushing with that “worse president ever” bullshit. Even after every Barry accomplished while he was obstructed by the party of no. Keep waiting on those coal jobs, assholes.

Yeah it was something they did every year during their Christmas trip but it was never really publicized for some reason. Other than local and military news, no one really seemed to pick up on it even though they did it for eight straight years.

Yes, I am tired of the thinkpieces about the Dems failing disgruntled white blue collar Americans. Your term “whiteleash” is exactly what happened: angry whites jealous of the Obamas and wanted payback. And they still can’t keep his name out of their mouths. Let’s hope the hashtag referenced here brings even more joy…

I could go to sleep at night knowing whatever happened, there would be a calm, intelligent, steady presence to deal with it. I could go to work knowing that there was someone in the White House who was actively trying to uplift folks. I didn’t agree with him on some issues, but I could respect his thinking. His…

I really hope the Dems do for him what the GOP did for Reagan post-presidency. And by that, I mean name a bunch of shit after him. At least he would deserve the honor.

Good ol’ Whitelash 

Happy Birthday, Mr. Forever-President!

Greatest president of the last 50yrs.

We were brave enough once to elect a leader who displayed traits like grace, intelligence, humility, and maturity in quantities not usually seen in professional politicians, and dude was funny as hell, and unbelievably cool at the same time. To top it off, there wasn’t even a whiff of personal scandal to him or his…

God, the history textbooks 60 years from now are going to be so weird.

What are the odds that This Fuckery will make it through a court case? What are the odds that This Fuckery will cause a not-insignificant number of cash-strapped colleges and universities simply to fold because they can’t afford the litigation, and go back to de facto academic Jim Crow?

Cool! Guess I’ll drink myself to sleep again for the 200th day in a row!

“A thousand points to House Rowling! Take all the points! Points forever!”

JK Rowling’s twitter feed is one of my favorite places on the internet.

And she got her ass handed to her by J.K. Rowling earlier this week.
