He only had the most stressful job in the fucking world for eight fucking years. He’s a fucking private fucking citizen and can do whatever the fuck he wants.

It was fascinating to watch Ezra Klein realize on dozens of occasions that Paul Ryan behaves a grifter who acts in bad faith, without realizing that Ryan is a grifter who acts in bad faith.

It’s very different, because Nixon is not running for president. She’s running for governor of New York. Plenty of other people who’ve had little to no experience in formal politics have gotten elected to high-profile positions before, and not all of them have been as atrocious as Reagan and Trump and Eric Greitens…

One of the other faults I had with Obama. Wall Street bankers should have been jailed for their part in 2008.

If you’re actually with the DCCC, presidents aren’t your job. And rattling off a list of names of bigwigs within the party doesn’t mean a damn thing, because your job is not to get party bigwigs elected, it’s to get local people into the party and into office in order to get, you know, a majority. (And are you…

History will remember Hilary lost to a gameshow host.

This must be a joke. The “political might” that has the Republicans in control of the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, Governors in 33 states, and 32 Republican controlled state legislatures.

A patronizing offer to join a losing team may sound enticing to some, but I’m going to have to see some sort of effort to rebuild. Maybe new management or a new playbook or even just a policy not to sell 95% of the playoff seats to season ticket holders. What have you got to convince me?

Oh, okay. These Bernie supporters just spontaneously, without coordination, despite their small numbers, managed to topple the Democratic Party all across the country in less than a decade, mostly based around their support of a politician who was largely unknown outside of his state until most of the damage was done.…

Ah, so the Bernie movement doesn’t exist, never did, and caused the downfall of the Democratic Party! This is an interesting theory and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

“The DCCC is who you can thank for the political might we have acquired over the past several decades”

In that the Democrats are at their lowest point since the end of the Reconstruction, this is entirely true. The loss of power and rise of people like Ryan, Bush, Cheney and Trump is fully on the Democratic…

Is the DCCC also inversely to blame for the political might the Democrats lost during the Obama era, where nearly a thousand legislative seats they previously held were lost to Republicans? Or do they get credit for good things and not get blame for bad things?

Nothing like getting served, pestered by Sherrifs & taken to court over a Will that myself and my sisters are not only 100% excluded from but do not even have any interest in contesting in the first place.

This is a really bad look for Sager, so I guess he really did die as he lived.

This really makes me lose so much respect I once had for Sager. I know this is a personal/family matter, but it’s still super messed up.

So what you’re saying is people have a problem with billionaires.

All things considered this is actually pretty cool and good?

I never understood why people hate the idea of bullet trains so much when their main purpose would be to compete with airlines.

All true, and airlines are just one of the most extreme and awful examples. The truth is that this kind of concentration has happened in loads of other industries over the last few decades. It’s why your ISP sucks and your mobile provider sucks and your health insurance sucks and...I could go on.

Yeah but the NFL is obviously fixed, and wrestling is real.
