No one was attempting to ban them? They were just regulated before. It would’ve been better to leave them that way. The DNC took measures to lift the regulations that Democrats had once fought to put in place.

The Trump campaign found a VP much more obedient than any dog.

Mr. Potato Head has some odd theories about foreign policy, but at least he’s to the left of Kaine on abortion rights and trade practices.

She already left an event in Florida, where she probably would’ve given the announcement. It’s not going to happen tonight. But she’ll want to get to it over the weekend, I assume, to give the media some time to sort with it before Monday.

John Hickenlooper, governor of Colorado, straight outta left field.

There is no snark left in my soul. Here’s a few articles about the claim, including those from the center-right themselves.

He ditched the beard, because American conservatives see it as a little “Muslemmy”.

Murdoch is a lot slower than Ailes, at a cool 1.7 kph; easier for his victims to outrun. This is a real godsend for aspiring female journalists.

Maybe that’s where our problem is in modern politics. We feel like we need to either agree with people, or hate them.

Wasn’t there an actual Rick Roll in the speech, too? Either Trump’s desire for retribution is so great that he refuses to let her resign, so that she can be dipped into molten metal and become a ballerina in the massive eldritch music box he keeps in his underground city. Or, more plausibly, it’s some kind of ploy.

There’s no argument from the Democratic party for why she decided to deregulate that particular industry. I don’t understand Wasserman-Schultz’s overwhelming support among Jezzies. In the end, they’ll stay loyal to her, even if it means letting the DNC sponsor a few more bills that shaft America’s poor in the most…

I’m eager to know what you meant, when you demanded Sanders start fighting for “down-ballot progressives”. Just as long as he’s not fighting against incumbent centrists?

Sanders is doing just what he was told to do: Stop trying to win the election, and fight for down-ballot progressives. The one time Wasserman-Schultz’s position is challenged, and she complains again that he’s “not doing it right”.

I’m talking about how liberalism shouldn’t be held back by its tone. I’m also talking about how conservatism doesn’t worry itself with how smug it appears. When it comes to tone, liberals cannot win but conservatives cannot lose.

I don’t disagree that there’s a certain smugness to modern American liberalism. I don’t think Gawker Media and its family of self-justifying blogs, that dabble in the occasional homophobic hit piece against their rivals, do liberalism a lot of favors.

I might agree, except that people view male nudity as ridiculous and female nudity as either sexual or esoterically powerful. Tunick’s art is predicated on the sexism of the audience, which is why it works better with nude women—humanity’s magical beautiful earth faeries—and not with nude men—humanity’s relatable and…

Mister Tunick offers us an edifying reminder that women are mystical, unknowable, unfettered nature spirits. We are living reflections of The Sun Mother’s vitalizing warmth; her primordial womb, the arcane origin of all humanity. We are a species that mankind should not dare to comprehend, that the cosmic knowledge…

I’ve got a boisterous Republican family member on Facebook. He was a Cruz fan, now “reluctantly supports Trump”. There’s no talking to these people without them shouting “you don’t think I’m capable of voting my mind?”. Anything you say or do comes off as paternal hectoring.

All these Abrahamic religions were founded a loooong time ago. Their rules are necessarily outmoded. So as society gets more tolerant and accepting, these religions try to stay the same. This means that yesterday’s misogyny is encoded permanently into law.

If we want more feminism in Pakistan, we’ll need to stand up to religious literalists whose dictates for maleness and femaleness lead to honor killings.
