But remember that these are the same people who say things like “The police won’t pull you over/investigate you if you don’t do anything wrong” every time a black person complains about racial profiling or, you know, getting fucking shot or something.

My comment makes a lot of assumptions.

Assuming that we don’t all die in a nuclear holocaust, our grandchildren will have plenty of scandals to read about in the AP US History textbooks of the future.

Get used to it. It’s the new SOP. These next 2 years minimum are going to be hell.

Not just quietly, secretly. Unannounced, behind closed doors, with no roll call or record of votes, on a national holiday, under the wire so there was no time to fight against it. A secret vote to give them explicit control over investigations into their own misdeeds. A decision that keeps them from being accused of…

I feel like this has just been a really really long dare for one of us to figure out how to make feminism a religion

“Dear Donald,

Crooked Paul!! Hey, we thought you Republicans were *against* Washington Insider Secrecy, or some shit. Surprise.

This can be said about ANY party affiliation if the candidates do not inspire some sort of passion. And the passion he DID inspire is a sickness, but at least Herr Drumpf fired up an ignorant, xenophobic, fear-filled redneck base. And Dems need to stop thinking their party will vote for whoever they run, no matter how…

“Their behind the scenes work is a big part *why* they won the last few elections.

Must be nice to have spent your entire life having things handed to you and then spend your career trying to deny others the same benefits.

Go eat a bullet. 20 kids were killed in an elementary school, and nothing happened, in spite of the fact that 90% of the public supports stricter background checks. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/20/politics/cnn-gun-poll/

“It’s essential to see both the good and the bad; Republicans clearly viewed the sit-in as a breakdown of the democratic process, but it was very obviously the opposite.”

You know all of those Trump voters who whine incessantly about censorship when we ask them not to use various slurs, or question whether or not certain groups of humans are really people?

If they were able to do so behind the scenes without this, then this is hardly going to help them. Being able to not be fined obviously didn’t undermine their ability to consolidate and/or hold power.

This is the real threat. This is the beginning of the marginalization and isolation of dissent in any form by the House Republicans. It was bad enough that they demanded that all Republicans march in lockstep, but now they want all members - party or position on an issue notwithstanding - to march or be shunned,…

Okay assholes who scream about FFRREEEEE SHHPPPEEEEEECH when your boner photos get censored on Facebook; this is actually an example of government curtailing free speech.

They cheat. We caught on. And Ryan’s an authority loving prick anyway.

They don’t want to kill transparency. They want to kill democracy.

I’d like to live stream myself taking a massive crap on Paul Ryan.
