I’m from Philly, so I love to see New Yorkers eating their own. But you guys dodged a massive bullet on this one. Progressive values, yes. But Cynthia fuckin’ Nixon was NOT the vessel for putting those values into place. Read more

Can’t stand her. But great tits. Cardi, that is. I’m sure Cynthia’s are just fine, but less visible. There is my opinion.

I like GQ, and they do have interesting political pieces at times. Never really identified as one of their audience though. Like, “Great ways to look good for under $1500 an outfit!” WTF? 

Won’t matter.  Justice Kavanaugh, ladies & gentleman.

Biden/Booker 2020

Eh, I think this is a stretch. She’s using Hitler as an example of a dictator. I don’t see it as her saying, “At least he’s not Hitler.” Trumps comments are awful enough without having to look for thing to get mad about. Read more

I like it.

It’ll mean you sell three extra books.....At the behest of the American people, at the behest of our country, and a president that’s doing a phenomenal job by every quantifiable metric.” Read more

You’re right, and I get that. And that’s even more difficult. I think a lot of people are getting on board with MFA because it sounds good. It’s even broken down into a nice sound-bite slogan - “Medicare for All!” But when people see and will see what will be withdrawn from their paychecks to pay for it, they’ll say,… Read more

Cool. Still won’t happen. Until you can work the math to avoid sticker stock from...almost everyone, it’s DOA. Read more

I should take financial advice from the resident Communist?  Not fallin’ for it HamNo!

I’m a centrist less out of fear, and more so because most on the left are condescending assholes.

Nothing like shitting on a man’s corpse before it’s cold, amirite?? Even better is getting paid to do it for an entire week! Read more

Well, Lamont can be considered the Establishment. Not very exciting, and he’s also got some money. If his email situation is not up to par, that should be enough for many on the left these days to vote for a total piece of shit and put him over the top.

I consider myself a progressive, but the back-and-forth, parsing every word, benefit of the doubt, burden-of-proof-on-the-accuser bullshit on Ellison’s situation shows an extremely problematic hypocrisy of the left.  If the man had an “R” next to his name, he would have been skinned alive by now, no further questions… Read more

I’d have to agree about the Antifa stuff. Their intentions are good (i.e. fighting fascism, as they put it) but their tactics suck. They’re certainly not “non-violent.” And before someone says “But they’re fighting fuckin’ Nazis!” I understand, but it still doesn’t matter. Violence begets violence. John Lewis & MLK… Read more

A minor point, but I believe Bernie & AOC are, in fact, afraid of the “socialist label.” Otherwise, they would form the Democratic-Socialist Party and run on it as opposed to running as Democratic Party candidates. 

So....we like Border Patrol, now? Do we want more women in leadership roles?  But only overseeing orgs we like? But we don’t like Border Patrol, right?  But we like her because....diversity?  I’m confused.

Yea, the “left of Lenin” comment was sort of a cheeky remark.  All good points.

Fair enough. I’ve listened to her a bit, she’s fine, I guess. Read more
