I think it was Andy Cohen who said this about Mariah when asked about his best guests on WWHL. He said Mariah is actually a lot smarter then people think and she’s actually very aware what people think of her and plays it up when necessary. She’s in on the joke.  I kind of love her. 

Since at least Reagan the economic core of the Republican Party has been just this: that the role of the government in the economy is only to protect accumulated wealth and the ability to use accumulated wealth to gain more more wealth.  That Democrats, for 40 years now, have failed to translate Republicans’…

This book confirms what we already know about these two: always trying to appease anyone and everyone, no matter how bigoted, by ensuring that although they are two men married to each other, they’ll never do any of that gay stuff like hold hands or kiss.

The thing is, if Trump were just a little less incompetent, had a little more self-control, and were able to even feign a hint of normal human empathy, we’d already be well on our way to an authoritarian dictatorship. That there is even a reasonable chance that Trump will be booted out of office after just four years…

Well, there are vampires in this game, so the chances of sucking in this game was always pretty high.

No one is criticizing him for being gay—people, myself included, are criticizing him for gross behavior that leans towards the predatory that, if he were a straight man, would be equally criticized, if not more so.

You mean southern Black people. Some of us voted against him in the primary even though they called the damn primary before we cast a single vote.

Isn’t Obama’s intervention why we’re stuck with Biden in the first place?

Apart from the fact that I don’t see the stats you posted as an abysmal record for an upstart political movement, that was 2018. In 2020 we’ve seen candidates like Cori Bush, who lost in 2018, win their primaries and therefore expected to make it to the general in traditionally blue seats. See also Jamaal Bowman,…

The Storm CGI scenes in the first three X-Men films are imprinted in my brain forever. The scenes in X2 between Jean and Storm were more authentic than anything with Scott and Logan. Who can forget, “Do we have any weapons on this thing?” and then this shit happens:

It was an enjoyable romp, but I felt that it would have been better served as a series or mini-series. The mythology seems really interesting, and could have had room to breathe.

My focus would not be on the rich and famous, but rather the unknowns who get ganged up on and fired due to social media mob campaigns. Like the woman who reported a transit worker for eating on the train in violation of transit rules. Or the little known researcher fired from his job for tweeting a link to an…

On point three - it feels like their ‘new’ name is akin to adding a winky face emoji on the end

I mean, let’s look at this series of events:

What would it take to make establishment Democrats reconsider their sentimental attachment to Barack Obama’s crappy Heritage Club healthcare law and take a fresh look at Medicare For All?

America had ample opportunity earlier this year to decide this wasn’t acceptable. Instead they picked Biden, the physical manifestation of “it worked for me, you just need to pull yourself up by your boot-straps and deal with it”.

God help us in the next decade, cause this shit isn’t gonna get better.

It’s fine for this election, but some day soon we have to get over this “BUT TRUMP” framework. Someday he’s not going to be here to kick around anymore.

Yes, I’m sure that the creation of a vast external industry demand had no effect on the mentality or behavior of the suppliers.  

This + Bloomberg support is such a bummer about Abrams. Yeah, I’ll fuckin vote for Biden outside of a contested convention that won’t happen, but I want us to get to a place where we’re voting for the best candidate instead of the one who will do the least amount of harm. How do we get there, together?

He delayed running in 2015 to get Warren to run; he ran after she refused to. He got a lot of momentum going but couldn’t close. He then campaigned for Hillary, including in at least one swing state that she herself didn’t go to. He did 28 more events for her than she did for Obama.
