Indeed, this is a prime opportunity for those perpetually auditioning for POTUS to trot out their shrillest dog whistles, hottest takes, and most thinly-veiled coded language. It’ll be a real race to the bottom—who will ask the most inane questions? Who will be the most racist? Will Lauren Boebert or MTG burst into…

She’s poubelle blanche. She grew up where being white was the only thing she had ‘going’ for her - not her personality, not aptitude, not any talent, not any real skill set, certainly not intelligence or education.  She was white.  That was it.  And now that’s basically all she has to offer anyway.  She came from a…

They’re not valid security concerns because it’s not like countries joining NATO don’t want to join NATO and get closer to the West instead of expressing fealty to Putin.

My ability to feel anything but disgust for Kanye disappeared somewhere between his Trump-donor funded “run for president” (that aimed to split the black vote) and the rogues gallery of abusive misogynists (Marilyn Manson, Chris Brown) that he lined up for an album named after his MOTHER. He’s a fucking tool. I can’t…

This is a great question. I used to be such an avid fan of VF, and I couldn’t wait for my monthly issue to come in the mail. Since Graydon Carter left, the magazine has gone waaaay down hill. I read VF for escapist rich people stories, whether it’s the Dominick Dunne-style crimes and scandals of the rich and famous,…

I’m sure she’s planning to, that’s part of the problem...

If your office only listens to money, then poor people are forced to make you listen elsewhere.

She could just get a different job.

I have no doubt she had a meager upbringing. By her own account, it was a story of deprivation with no phone, water, or electricity in the abandoned gas station her family lived in. The problem is that it is HER story. Her mother and step-father have filed documents in court showing they paid the phone, water, and…

She really is the worst.  I’ll never forget or forgive her for that thumbs down on a minimum wage increase. She did it so glibly.  Maybe she thought she was invoking the ghost of McCain, but he did it to stop a bad tax cut.  

1: Press on nails exist. In fact, they’re extremely popular now, as the technology behind them has improved so much that they are actually incredible. Pre-pandemic, I was someone who got long acrylics every 2 weeks like clock work, but I now just plop on some press ons when I want to look put together. I don’t think…

Isn’t the whole deal with him is that he is an OG democrat, as in pre 1964, as in the side that left the union during the civil war? In his eyes, he is the only true democrat, so there is no dealing with him. If he were to retire and not have a successor selected, it would just go to the GOP.

He’s like a toddler. Any attention is better than no attention. If he was a rethuglican (which he really is) no one would pay him any mind. This way he is front and center all the damn time. God I loathe him.

I’m so sick on Manchin. Vote him out. Let the chips land where they may and the Dems can go from there. The real damage is already done, since the republicans control the supreme court, no one but republicans benefit from him being around. Time to go.

I used to give most people the benefit of the doubt. Seeing the incredible rise of the stupid and insane in this country I no longer do that. Joe and Kyrsten are selfish, dumb motherfuckers.

Naw.

Manchin has always been a turd in the Dem punch bowl. He just currently has outsized power due to the circumstances. And boy howdy he is luvin’ it y’all!

Leftist kvetching about Manchin only helps him, as he derives political capital from being perceived as a bulwark of sanity against the socialist horde of the Bernie/AOC wing of his party.

Yes, Kyrsten. What will the poor mega-behemoth global corporations with skyrocketing stock prices and record profits do if they have to pay a few more cents per dollar in taxes? They’ve already committed the ultimate sacrifice and held employee wages STEADY for the last decade+. What MORE do we need from them?

He likes two things: (1) Being the center of attention and (2) appeasing his wealthy, business-owning, capitalist donors.  That’s what fuels him.
