CHEERS! This mess is simply the logical conclusion of the evil policies she, her father and conservatives right back to Reagan took coal-hearted joy in implementing. The hubris involved in thinking it would never come back to bite them is as predictable, if more pathetic.

Thank you. Republicans have been well trained to fall in line and Cheney is being used as an example to the others who won’t (and the discussion about the undermining of democracy is another topic), but until the Republicans who share their dissatisfaction actually start putting in the votes, it’s all empty noise.

I think the best possible outcome for all is to have both parties split into multiple smaller parties.

ha ha.  “Develop a backbone”?  Not bloody likely.

Somewhere Susan Collins is nodding to herself and maybe cringing a little. The range of acceptable behavior has receded to lap on her spineless, equivocating shores. They’ll come for you next, Susan.

Just a reminder that the NRA is not here to protect individual citizens. It’s sole purpose is to keep gun corporations as profitable as possible.

I think this shows that everyone is fair game unless they are the ‘real’ royals - Queen and her children. Prince Michael was caught in a big scandal this week but I haven’t seen it much reported. He is the queen’s cousin.

Um am I interpreting this correctly as being a joke about Diana’s death? Cuz if so that’s waaaayyyy worse and it’s really telling that THAT was left in and pretty mild Prince Andrew jokes were taken out. Which were just about him being a creep (esp the first one about a dingo eating her baby) and is only offensive if…

Conservative who want everyone else dead, and succeeded in killing almost a million fellow citizens, also wonder why nobody wants to be nice to them.

“everyone knows children are not affected by the virus.”

I’ve long suspected that the episode of 30 Rock where Tina Fey goes to her class reunion thinking she was the quiet nerd and was actually the raging asshole is autobiographical. There’s just something about her.

Seriously, please tell everyone what is being done to stop these colonizers (specifically Bill) whose sole purpose is to ungrey the rando racists who want to delegitimize The Root as a space for Black folk to read and exchange ideas relative to our experience by 1) being first to comment inanely on every post, 2)…

Dollar Store Julian Assange is really trying it, isn’t he?

Agreed. I’m a high skill worker in a demanding field, and I’m seeing even very profitable companies trying to hire new people at 70% of the going rate. I also have the benefit that my wife is in a very similar area, and we're able to compare offers we see. The low paying ones have been shocked when we don't respond to…

Alright, let’s take this on purely utilitarian terms:

It’s the $10 leather couch bullshit.

John Oliver is a national treasure.  Yes, we have stolen him from the UK and he is ours.  

The anachronistic, imaginative ways of “A Knight’s Tale” and “Moulin Rouge” saved an otherwise ABYSMAL summer 2001 at the movies for me.

I mean, it sort of was! Dubya was still president, the recession hadn’t happened yet, gay marriage was still a hot button issue, the Internet hadn’t yet become its own ecosystem. YouTube was barely a year old, for crying out loud!
