The Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Scott Walker, Rick Scott, Rick Snyder, Paul LePage, the other dozens of Republican governors and state legislatures. Congress......it’s actually been hundreds of pulls, but you get the picture.

No shit on that second paragraph. I tried to use the linked Bloomberg piece regarding the middle class to finally convince my wife that we are, in fact, at or near the 1% whether she would like to admit it or not. Nope! Still “scrimping and saving.” We are in our mid-30's and met with our financial planner (god I hate…

Apologies for sending like I am trying to pat myself on the back, but I agree 100% with you. I vote my progressive values, even though it costs me and the wife a lot of money. I am sick and tired of hearing that the Democrats fail because they are dominated by coastal elites. Well guess what motherfuckers, we coastal…

I feel like the past 10 years I’ve been trying to convince someone who put 1 bullet in his revolver that pointing it at his head and pulling the trigger is a horrible idea

Google disagrees. This is one of many articles where the safety net is a failure.

There is such a severe disconnect between perception and reality amongst a certain set of the United States and pieces like this make me feel almost hopeless. Others have mentioned that many members of the American middle- and lower-classes view themselves as “temporarily displaced millionaires.” It’s such a…

“We just witnessed a man who ran on a platform of abolishing taxes (on corporations and the rich, mostly) and transfers (like our national health care program) winning large swaths of lower-income middle America in convincing fashion, selling the underlying idea that the government only takes from you, the average…

I think you misunderstood Trump. An “elite” is anyone who reads fucking nerd-ass books and talks about things in regards to nuance. If you’re a billionaire, who thinks the key to defeating ISIS is whipping out your schlonger and dipping bullets in pig’s blood, you’re not an “elite” your a common man American fucking…

Has the Internet picked another show to rally around in protest. I would enjoy it if his inauguration somehow lost to a Night Court rerun.

Gonna take everything in me not to do the same thing to my TV in four days.

You’re renting your TV from a different Aaron.

Normally, I’d say that’s a waste of a TV. But this guy will probably just mount it on his wall.

That person’s vote counts as much as mine. Horrifying.

we’d get endless congressional hearings about bullshit if clinton were president, effectively shutting down government for 4 years.

I don’t know, man. After Nixon’s embarrassing resignation, the Republicans still controlled the Executive Branch for 14 of the next 20 years.

You know, I’ve looked and I’ve looked and I just can’t see anywhere in my comment where I said a single fucking thing about Hillary Clinton.

As the residents of Trumpistan are so fond of saying, she lost. Get over it. Focus on the short-fingered piss golem we’ve got to deal with now.

I don’t think any reasonable person doubts that those things would be far less likely under Clinton.

Even more than I fear Trump is my fear that we won’t be able to put things back together once he’s not president.

And yet, despite the insanity of it all, his fans strengthen, and are emboldened by the very things that make him such a vile example of a ‘human being’.

Never in a million years would I have voted for Rubio over Clinton, but hats off to him this morning for grilling Tillerson. I get that my team can’t win every time, but I’d much rather he won the GOP nomination and presidency than Trump. His line of questioning this morning makes me hopeful that even some Republicans…
