People (certain groups of them, anyway) always say that, like they think that’ll definitely shut down any desire to discuss it.

““If you want to get into that, you have to get into George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and all of our Founding Fathers — most of our Founding Fathers, maybe with the exception of Hamilton,” said Shelby, referring to the fact that so many of the Founding Fathers owned slaves.”

Not all angels have wings, and not all heroes wear capes. John McCain had both.

Ok you humps, fess up. How many of you furiously clicked ready to lay into her for saying something about a Clinton?

The logical conclusion to this episode is Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer marching into the Oval Office with McCain’s corpse between them Weekend at Bernie’s style, demanding the president show deference to a True American Hero.

Fuck off with that nonsense.

Rule Number 1 : Republicans are perfect moral people

It seems today that all you see is gays in movies and fake news on TV.

Saying Hillary lost the election is ignoring the facts:

Methinks thou doth protest too much.

- It’s an unfair comparison because I make more money and much of my wealth isn’t liquid so I would have to give a lot more than someone who has 1/5th of my income and would have more trouble giving it as it’s tied up in investments.

You gave “more” because you’re able to; I think most people would agree that the person with only 10 bucks who gives away half their wealth is far more generous. The only reason why you’d base generosity on raw numbers instead of percentages is to make white people appear less shitty.
