I agree they’re not comparable incidents, but unfortunately the conservatives in this country don’t understand nuance and can’t grasp that we’re not just talking about bad words here. In their minds racism is on par with being mean, this leveled the moral playing field. They said something racists. We said something…

I understand why she apologized. Money talks. However, I hate that they are trying to compare this to the Roseanne incident. Samantha is a privileged white woman who called an even more privileged white woman an insulting name. Roseanne is a white woman who used a racist stereotype to further some stupid conspiracy…

Agreed. They grabbed the reigns here and control the tone and the narrative every time.

Exactly. Fucking ted nugent called Hillary the same word... although he didn’t use feckless because he probably didn’t know the definition. What happened to him? Oh trump just invited him to the white house. Names intentionally left un-capitalized.

Yup. Samantha accurately pointed out that you shouldn’t look to comedians to be examples of “civility”. I WANT to look to the president of the US as an example of civility. We had that with Obama, and even previous presidents who were quietly known for being complete a-holes in private still managed to fake it in…

This world is such bullshit.

I hear you, but she obviously has to. She’s already lost advertisers and more are threatening.

YES. When it first happened and people were wondering if TBS would cancel her, I was like, “Great, let them. Then Netflix can grab her and she can say all the shit she’s been holding back.”

Have you seen Michelle Wolf’s show? I was never a big fan of her Daily Show appearances but I caught her first episode and I…

STOP FUCKING APOLOGIZING. STOP IT.

The rich irony of this controversy is that the Trump administration has defined itself largely by its overall lack of civility

what does that even mean? Is that what “purity test” means now? Clap along with any fucking stupid idea they come up with like it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread? It’s not the Democratic Party, apparently. It’s the Eat Shit And Like It Party.

“The calendar says it is 2018, but for us it is and always will be 1992. We hate life and ourselves; we can’t govern, and we are horny for the deficit. We see our abject failure and we are proud to double down on that failure.”

Democrats continually trying to appeal to the other side or the mythical “independents” just reinforces how fucking stupid the are.

You need to pay attention to election results more.

There is no real need for this rule (although I’m fine if they fund shit by raising taxes on the wealthy), and it is absolutely the case that deficit hysteria is almost certainly overblown. That having been said, it is categorically not the case that no one cares about the budget deficit. Democrats can certainly be…

Because voters are irrationally allergic to taxes, even if they benefit from the services that those taxes provide. It becomes a wedge issue to use against politicians who, as a risk averse group, avoid raising taxes. That’s fine if you feel the government wastes money, but not so fine if you feel the country needs to…

Because governments are not people, and situations are going to vary in ways we can’t predict.

Inflation is low enough, more than low enough in fact. The US still borrows at barely existent interest rates, and our debt is still considered one of the safest investments in the world. Our debt to GDP ratio is not to the point the markets consider it an issue. There’s no currency to replace the US dollar on the…

Stop ceding ground to the goddamn radical GOP fiscal halfwits.

Stop playing for the moderate Republican vote! If they won’t ditch Trump after his behavior you’re not going to lure them in with this half-assed bad policy fiscal conservatism bullshit!
