At best, this is a scattered, disorganized idea. At worst, it’s a brazen, heartless attempt to sweep human beings under the rug to make it look like the streets of LA are more welcoming to a certain kind of person.

are you saying there is  a whole nother hemisphere to have wars in. Murica has been missing out...

The right is when it comes down to it largely a single issue party thees days. Apart from all the other grotesque issues they are peddling there is always the litmus test of abortion rights. So unless he comes out against those; He is going to takes more votes from the democrats then the republicans.    

This is clearly the best part of this story. Whenever i now now encounter a right winger on the internet telling me something about how single payer is inferior or won’t work etc etc. This one trip by Rand Paul is a slam dunk in the conversation. 

The Sunflower sea star is not just a keystone species it’s the the species behind the concept. Pisaster ochraceus is the predator Paine removed in his famous experiment. Showing the power of trophic cascades and top down effects on food webs. The basic findings where that without the Sunflower sea star the…

I was under the impression we were living in the timeline where Fredo is president. Hence the comments of: “I’m like a smart person”, “very stable genius” and “like, really smart” and the constant need for praise and approval; ‘Great reviews’ of my amazing performance, biggest ever inauguration audience etc.  

No, never gonna get it

I’m driving a Sienna. So I’m just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire by one letter.  

Checking the polls would be fine. -It would be a form of democracy, maybe not the one intended in the constitution, but still. The problem occurs when thy are first checking the polls and then correcting the policy for after input from big donors.  

How can every day involve something that could have been the biggest scandal in any previous presidency? And when (if?) we finally see the end of this can we ever get back to normal again ore are we now doomed to be living in world where the genie is out of the bottle and politics is forever turned to a never ending…

The administration is clearly pushing its agencies to say that the shutdown is not detrimental for them. It has now got to the point where the TSA is arguing: ”this incident wasn’t indicative of employees skimping on the security while waiting for their paychecks “. or in other words: This had nothing to do with the…

I’m guessing this is just another instant of me not quite grasping a joke again. But just in case it’s not: The ecological engineers are in this instant referring to the termites. Its a terminology that has become more popular during the last couple of decades. It is most often referencing to organisms that have a…

This administration has never before shown any interest in the idea of presenting facts. This gives me the creeps. what are they up to? Are they planing to declare an national emergency and therefore cant state any untruths since this would be obvious legal challenges?   

Your arguments are spot on. The one i don’t hear mentioned very often is the psychological one. As an former educator I find it very disturbing to to consider the idea of starting every morning with picking up a gun and thinking that this might be the day i have to kill one of my students. I could therefor never be…

R is for Racist, that’s good enough for me
