I think he is more upset that we live in a system of checks and balances, and at least some element is actually doing that job instead of kissing his ass.

This is just amazing. The DOJ attorneys who are working on the travel ban case just woke up screaming, because Trump handed the challengers another fantastic piece of evidence to include in their briefs. First, the DOJ has been refusing to call it a travel ban, and instead insisting that the courts refer to it as a…

I am completely unable to defend my position in even a friendly debate. I have some leftover kicked-puppy syndrome from my parents’ divorce, so I’d rather just “agree to disagree” even if I think the other person is an asshole. I have friends who are religious and/or conservative and we have things we fundamentally…

‘What are you thinking?’ this one drives me batty, too.

Yes, I struggle with the shutting down, too. Even if it isn’t an attack, but rather a heated discussion. Like with a partner who is mad at me. Or maybe I’m equally mad, and we’re trying to talk about it—-but I just shut down. My mind goes blank, except for a an incessant mantra rattling my skull: “I want this to…

Whether or not one can hold onto political beliefs in which there are two opposing sides and still also hold onto love, compassion, and spiritual precepts (sorry: California reporting). This has come up for me quite a lot, politically, lately. When I perceive (through my own filters, no doubt) that someone takes a…

No, he wants to dismantle everything that happened under Obama. Good, Bad? He wants to erase the legacy of the Obama administration.

I’m surprised not to see OKCupid, Tinder, or Ashley Madison receive a shout-out, here. A main reason for jitters in this modern era is the same as it was for me when I attended a university with a larger population than my natal city (that is, 40,000 students, most of them on the make): the marketplace of romantic…

With Mother’s Day coming up tomorrow, I just wanted to share the story of when I was eight and my mom threw a can of creamed corn at me in a grocery store. In her defense, she did yell “Here, catch!” as the corn was halfway through its trajectory; just in time for me to look up, ensuring it hit me square in the face.…

He’s back! Just in time for the DIY Spicey crazy:

Ugh. Every day he reminds me more and more of my horrible, awful, no good, very bad former boss.

Let’s not forget Conway defended Trump’s pussy-grabbing comment. She’s also violently anti-choice, even in the case of rape.

Instead of making the bizarre comparison to other (male) members of the Trump Administration, consider the fact that no administration in recent history has lied with the frequency and audaciousness of the Trump administration.

Yes he would have. It may have bordered on unprofessional but he didn’t roll his eyes because she is a woman. He did it because he is tired of this person spewing bullshit. Her gender has nothing to do with it.

I love how right wing women weaponize sexism. Fuck them, they voted trump, they couldn’t give less of a shit about women who aren’t white and rich, and even then they’re disposable.

Yeah, I think he might. I see this as an erosion of self-control that comes of dealing with mendacious liars (of which the Trump admin has many). I assume that most of them roll their eyes at Spicer hourly. And some shake their heads...

He didn’t roll his eyes at you because you are a woman.

Why did they stop?!

Is it undermining when the person you’re undermining has no clue what he’s talking about? Einstein wasn’t “undermining” physics and mathematics.
