I am becoming more and more convinced that the only way to deal with some of these fuckers is guillotines. Now, I’m not looking forward to the revolutionary times as everyone comes out worse in the near future, but what other way is there to scare some common decency into these fuckers?

I hope I’m living somewhere else when that happens.

One of Hamilton Nolan’s finest ever pieces was when he went to Cuba and wrestled honestly with his own cognitive dissonance over the redistribution of wealth:

My favorite one of these has to be Bob Allen.

I feel like there is a fine line here between saying “give him a pass” to “he did this, it sucks, and he needs to face the consequences for his actions.” and saying “he should resign, the shit stain”. Like there shouldn’t be, they seem very different stances but somehow you land in one of the extreme camps.

And I get it! I didn’t want it to be true. I’ve loved Al Franken since I was a little kid. I used to mimic his “Send me...your money...Al Franken” SNL routine all the time. I was thrilled when he turned out to be a deft politician and one of the best progressive voices we had. This is a punch to the gut. But he did…

TBF, it’s hard to maintain a solid marriage with someone named Beth1027.

I commented on a panic piece about how, with Franken, we were coming close to overdoing the #metoo moment by saying “No, we’re not, and you can’t cherry-pick who you want to believe.” I immediately received dozens of men’s comments accusing me of saying it was just as bad as what Moore and Trump did (never would say…

So, here is the thing about these guys saying this is a “witch hunt”: witches are not real, but sexual predators ARE REAL.

Me too. But my exhaustion ended at Sandy Hook. Kids in Elem school, and we won’t even have the discussion. So I’m done. (Except for commenting/reading this)

We need to approach gun control like the right approaches abortion. National campaigns, pictures of shot dead babies, highway signs, protests at gun shops, etc.

Is...is that a leather dress? She looks like she just stepped out of some kind of Star Wars themed BDSM shoot where she was the strap-on Darth Vader character. And can’t get past how much Steve Mnuchin looks like an evil John Oliver.

“Look, dear! I’m poor! Hahahahaha!”

The degree of nepotism that this administration has normalized is stunning. Why is his wife even there? Why are taxpayers paying for her travel and security? Why is there no ostensible divide between these two people and the role that only one of them has been empowered to perform?

I also like the fact that you’re able to actually appreciate the metal itself, and not the rhodium coating that was applied to it. Palladium is good.

A diamond says you sold yourself. Good for you! The rest of us are rolling our eyes at WHY the fuck you want to advertise this fact.

When the better half and I started discussing marriage a few months ago, she made it clear that she’d rather use the money I’d spend on a rock to instead go on a trip somewhere. “Experiences, not things”.

Ban ‘em. If someone wants to marry me they can take that money and spend it on my buying me my entire “To Read” booklist.

Kind of funny that the apparent answer to parental idiocy is to put people into collectives and concentrate that idiocy.

They really need to just abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security. Repeal the law that created it; dissolve its components; reassign their duties to the FBI or other Department of Justice agencies. The entire enterprise is out of control and has been for a long time. Everything they touch turns to…
