Wait, so posting things on Facebook and commenting on articles on Gawker/Gizmodo/Jezebel/Deadspin DOESN’T get the attention of people that actually matter?

While I would love to see an increase in representation like that, just adding one Senator per state would literally increase the size of the Senatorial side of the legislative branch by 50%. The extra Senator, their staff, their office in Washington, their office in their home state, the infrastructure that goes with…

Don’t waste your time calling people that don’t represent you to complain. Instead, call the people that do represent you and thank them. Tell them that you support them. Tell them that you support their initiatives - and list specific bills. Do your research.

I realized last night how well I can fake it with my Trump-voting in-laws, and today with my Trump-voting neighbor across the street. In both cases, these are people that will be in my life, and my kids’ lives, for years and years to come. Blowing up at them and getting into a fight isn’t going to change or solve…

I guess Gives No Fucks Obama is gone now. I mean, I get why that is... he can’t very well undermine the next president, because that undermines the peaceful transition of power. We liberals said, after Trump’s refusal in the debate to commit to the election results, that the peaceful transition of power was…

Sorry, she wants nothing to do with you.

Really? Access to a time machine, and you think murder is the solution?

The son of a president-elect - especially one as controversial as Trump - is walking around NYC at night without security?

The new Deflategate.

Yeah... no. I mean, look, I’ll admit to downloading my fair share of music 15+ years ago when the landscape was very different. But we have a situation where services exist, you can pay $10-15 a month for unlimited plays of a functionally unlimited selection of music. There is literally more music available than you…

Awesome! I’ll check it out again tomorrow; hopefully the site will be stable :)

Honestly? I worked at Johnson Space Center in September 2001, and quit shortly after because in those uncertain weeks, all I knew is that I didn’t want to work at a potential target. Remember, we didn’t know at the time what we were dealing with, and I was just a sysadmin - I could go anywhere. So I did.

Since it’s getting blown up and it’s basically unusable...

Of course I’m speaking in Trumpese. Those are the assholes who will be carrying this out. Couple more points:

What makes you think they’ll be bought before a judge? That’s how it works for citizens. Picture stop and frisk on a massive scale. “Hey, show me your I.D. No identification? Get in the car.”

Nearly every incumbent was just re-elected along with Trump. They no longer fear getting thrown out. This was the least popular Congress ever. Obstructionist, openly hostile toward Obama and the Democrats. And they not only survived, they thrived in the election last week.

Do the math as well.

By the time the legal challenges get up to the Supreme Court, Trump will have stacked the Court.

Exactly. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that if they think Congress will temper Trump’s desire to throw out 11 million people, or that it’s “physically impossible”, think again. Roosevelt, with the stroke of a pen, rounded up 120,000 Japanese-Americans in the 40's and put them in camps using the United…

The same way Roosevelt rounded up 120,000 Japanese-Americans in 1942 and put them in internment camps: he’ll use the power of the Executive Order and his position as Commander in Chief to have the military carry it out.
