My very dear friend is still alive because she was able to abort at 24 weeks. She very much wanted that fetus to grow into a baby. Fuck You Arkansas!

This is the bit these bastards don’t seem to get. Abortion clinics are not like the Mickey D’s drive-through window. Most people do not just cheerfully skip to the abortion clinic on a whim to get a termination.

Goddam. This lady has all the balls in Washington.

It’s DC’s City Hall.

Ah, I see. I did a little research and I think you’re referring to what’s being discussed in the below link, which says it didn’t restrict people from coming in, just changed the process and that it was attached to a “must pass” spending bill, which meant that the Republicans tacked it on, knowing Obama couldn’t…

Oh, no, you misunderstand: many people on the left at this point haaaaate Bernie. The man himself. Hate him. Hate. He’s a dilettante who has done nothing but shit on the Democrats from the left (not just Hillary — remember when he wanted Obama to be primaried in 2012) while actually accomplishing nothing. He’s a…

Why on earth would you think that a 2014 election against a guy who faceplanted into a cowpie with his “legitimate rape” comments during the election cycle gives her a better sample of her constituents than a statewide 2016 election?

Frederick Douglass died in 1895.

Ugh, this isn’t Bernie kicking off a campaign for 2020, right? He’s too old?

I was a young mom, teetering on addiction before I got pregnant, had untreated postpartum depression, and went full blown addict after my son’s dad and I split up. Trust me, it’s a fusion genre that nobody wants to hear.

This. I HATED GWB. But never once did I think. Man, Laura Bush is such a bitch for trying to get kids to read. It’s mind boggling to me.

Remember Cat Marnell’s essay about how abortion is bad and terrible and totally murdering a baby, and yes she’s had lots of them and will undoubtedly have more because she hates condoms and birth control makes her fat which makes it perfectly acceptable in her case, but they’re still horrible when anyone else has…

I think they went especially hard on Michelle because she is unnervingly smart (unnerving to them). I’ve heard a few times in the Chicago legal community from people who know them that while Barack is a visionary, Michelle is smarter. Obviously this is like saying “between these two diamonds, one is slightly shinier”…

Well obviously Michelle should have encouraged kids to eat diamonds instead.

Of all the reasons to hate politics, the hypocrisy of the right on our current and last first ladies is right up there. Melania is on the cover of Vanity Fair eating diamonds and won’t move to DC yet it’s crickets on her because the left is too nice and the right doesn’t care. Michelle Obama asks kids to eat healthy…

Someone needs to sue Donald Trump personally. Make him prove in court that he will not financially benefit from this pipeline.......and also show all his other investments, tax returns, financial docs, etc. Discovery is the point here, you don’t need to win. You just need to have a legal basis to request…

If that happens Trump will not leave DC alive without a full military lockdown, I don’t think people who haven’t been recently understand how on edge that city is and how much the people loved Obama.

Trump should not be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Justice in the last year of his presidency #MicDrop

My husband did this stuff for a while before we met and now I’m pretty much living in fear that he’ll go senile at 40 from the head hits. I will never understand why he would allow someone to hit him in his beautiful face, but he loved it, and he didn’t even make any money off of it. My point is, people are weird…

I’ve seen a lot of comments along these lines. I refer to the travel ban as a “Muslim ban” in the piece because the seven countries chosen are majority Muslim, Trump has long supported a Muslim registry, and in 2015, asked for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s…
