Oh, Ted Cruz is an infinitely superior candidate. I mean, yes, he’s odious, reprehensible, and willing to sacrifice lives and peace and freedom for the sake of his own personal hollow vanity and ambition. But he’s also smart and experienced: Princeton (national debating champion); Harvard (law review editor); Supreme…

Morning Joe owes it’s “bewildering” popularity mostly to older people (non rube division) who haven’t been hypnotized by the clownshow at Fox.

Let me add a response to clarify what I wanted to say at the end. As some have mentioned, the power of the executive office has been expanded by President after President. Perhaps partly out of a desire for power. But I think a large reason is the polarization of the two parties makes it impossible to get things done.

I’m confused why everyone thinks we SHOULDN’T prioritize schools and teachers? We should be shutting down restaurants and bars and ensuring schools stay open. It’s been documented that kids are falling behind, and this is affecting poorer and minority students without access to resources more than other kids.

Hum... Europeans survived for millenias while coexisting with their environnement... It stopped earlier in history than the colonisation of america so you’ll be excused for not learning about it in school, but that doesn’t make it any less true. Europe was also colonized and had their indigenous people massacred or…

I think “parlors” morphed into “living rooms” after the Great War. Living rooms became the public room of the house, the more formal space to receive people—usually because they were not well enough acquainted with the family to have entrée to the more informal spaces. This informal, more intimate space became the…

Tangentially, what kind of stock do you think you could make from racist bones? How would that taste?

I think watching so many shows about so many real historical royals has deeply changed how I’m seeing it- when every member of the royal family in previous generations had to sacrifice their personal happiness in service of the crown and country, it suddenly seems crazy that Elizabeth II’s children expected any…

How a shoe designer like Ivanka gained power (nepotism) and could even be considered a potential future candidate is everything that is wrong with politics. No substance, but good photo ops. 

The worst part about this is that the Squad types can’t just take a minor L on this slogan and pivot to a more appealing message. This inherent “I’m right and no one can tell me otherwise” attitude from the Left is sinking all their goals, short- and long-term, and they are too stubbornly ignorant to admit that they…

Brushing past the fact that people calling for the police to be defunded aren’t saying their ultimate goal is police reform.

Senator Blutarsky agrees.

I’m convinced that the moment Trump is out of the White House the Republican Party will be putting in failsafes in it’s presidential nomination process to make sure an outsider like Trump can never win again. They were happy to use is cult to advance their agenda, but they are now done with him and his progeny forever.

4 years of daddy being president has aged the fuck our of Ivanka.

I read the bit below and had the same expression on my face as Parminder Nagra in the top image:

Celebrity: I have insecurities in an industry that is always picking apart what I say, do, or look like, and so I can connect with and respect how so many others suffer too. It’s alienating.

The key thing to remember here is that Bush won the official count and the recount, however narrowly. That left Gore in the position of having to ask the courts to do things to help him. As a general rule, and as a specific rule in federal election cases, it is much easier for a federal court to say “no” than “yes.”…

that’s the huge difference I see between Jezebel 5 years ago and Jezebel today. Jezebel of old would’ve given women enough benefit of a doubt to fact check. Jezebel today assumes any teardown of a woman they’ve read on Twitter is accurate, so long as it seems “woke.” I feel curmudgeony writing that out though...

I feel like I’ve seen this trend become a thing during my lifetime and I saw it as a pushback against the summer culture that reigned in the 80s and 90s. Women started enjoying a season where we get to be less social, more comfortably dressed and eating rich, delicious foods with less judgement from those around us. Su…

I mean, they’re definitely exaggerating their dynamic for the cameras, but I don’t find them as creepy as others do. That said, Ben and Erin Napier are unquestionably better, more authentic, and more progressive than the Gaineses. I love Home Town despite having left the South many years ago vowing to never ever move…
