Absolutely Baffling is also the name of Andy Reid’s clothing line.

Former Bulls fan checking in. I turned off ESPN at around the 7th pick and picked up a new habit called “binge drinking.” Then I flipped on a wonderful English film called “Attack the Block” and followed that up with the first episode of the Prison Break revival on FOX. The latter was dreadful, but at least it helped…

So, are you willing to compromise giving up your foot instead of your entire leg, when both are wholly unnecessary and, if anything, completely ludicrous because the doctors say “you don’t have to amputate anything!”

Let’s not forget that a majority of the total votes cast were for liberal candidates NOT conservative ones. From POTUS down to dog catcher, the total number of votes for Ds were more than the total for Rs.

What is the mid point of compromise between gay people are humans and they deserve the right to marry and they do not deserve this right?

Evidence is not irrelevant to all people with political beliefs; it’s irrelevant to REPUBLICANS, and that is why things are a mess. It’s been that way for 30+ years. And guess what? Evidence is also irrelevant to the people that vote for Republicans.

The people constantly calling for bipartisanship are usually the same people constantly saying “both sides do it.”

People should treat political policy positions as MORE important than religion, especially on topics like health care, as peoples LIVES are immediately at stake, 35,000 people a year die in the US on average from a lack of healthcare already. Policies are not just words on paper, they can be the direct cause of…

There’s no way to compromise with the current Republican party on those issues, while still protecting the rights of the majority if the population.

This is spectacularly self-centered and dumb. That’s your actual biggest fear?

Climate change is not a personal belief. Belief that everyone should have good healthcare for all is not a personal belief. That the wealth gap is a very bad thing for our economy is not a personal belief. The cost of higher education being too expensive is not a personal belief.

Some people don’t have a choice as to whether or not to invest deeply in their personal beliefs. Because most people in this country have things immediately at stake.

This is a very naive and idealistic viewpoint. I want a house on the moon, but I don’t have a house on the moon. I have a house I can afford near where I work.

But you haven’t identified bipartisan attitudes to the issues you name, you’ve identified what are currently partisan attitudes to the issues you name, it just so happens that the collection of issues don’t add up to the platform of a political party at the moment. Republican congresspeople aren’t going to spurn the…

The primary issue is that over the course of the last ~50 years the two major parties have worked harder and harder on eliminating any overlap, any level of even-possible compromise, on social or economic issues. That’s what the “bipartisanship” of 50 or even 20 years ago is a reference to: it’s not that people used…

*After viewing the celebration on Twitter*

Yeah, I know, a single-digit loss in a district R’s won by 20 points last year, blah blah blah. Anybody else depressed as fuck right now? We are stuck with Trump and his evil brethren for the foreseeable future, and if there’s anything worse than Trump, it’s Trump thinking he won something. That’s Trump at maximum…

Any doubt there might have been about the senate not passing the ACA repeal, because they would be too scared of the voter backlash, has been erased with this result. They can do it now secure in the knowledge they’ll probably keep the Senate and House in 2018.

Stein is not losing any sleep over what might have been—in her telling, Clinton wouldn’t have been much better. “There are differences between Clinton and Trump, no doubt, but they’re not different enough to save your life, to save your job, to save the planet,” she says. “We deserve more than two lethal choices.”
