Sean Spicer couldn’t handle Michael Smeroconish on CNN - I can’t embed it here, but go look it up. He went OFF on him for suggesting that the RNC should acknowledge that Russia TRIED to influence the election in favor of Trump. Not that they did, not that Trump benefitted from it, but that they tried. And Smerconish…

I’ve stated on this cite before that I voted for Clinton.

My husband always says there’s nothing hotter than a woman who can swing her own hammer. So yes, Tina.

If you think she’s something, look up her stepdaughter, Bianca Lawson. She’s like in her mid-30s and can still play high schoolers. Seriously, that’s some voodoo stuff, no other explanation.

You’re totally right - the moral high ground is nice, but it won’t stop anybody from getting their life ruined. “Awareness” of immigrant rights might be fine for a white lady marching in DC, but her awareness means little to the immigrant getting dragged out of bed by ICE. Nobody at Standing Rock got shielded from the…

One of my friends went to DC to march for, as she put it, “the rights of the disabled and mentally ill people I know.” Okay. She spent approximately $100 on the Amtrak tickets, round trip, to get to and from DC. And yesterday, me being my salty self, asked her, “Did you ever think about just taking the hundred bucks…

But there have been SO. MANY “first steps.” If you don’t know that racism is a problem, you haven’t been paying attention. It’s like how ONLY after Standing Rock, white people have realized that - gasp - Native Americans get treated pretty shitty (in ways that have nothing to do with water). Black people getting…

But they didn’t react because they thought “punishing the women is really awful.” They reacted because “Oh shit, you said what you’re not supposed to say.” It’s not too far FOR THEM in the least - it’s just too far for most people, and they know that.

Except plenty of them would be totally, absolutely cool with that. You presume there is some line, some point, that they will come to and say “we’ve gone too far.” You severely underestimate them.

Except liberals DIDN’T stop him. Liberals opted for slacktivism and hastags over actually trying. The Democratic party ignored whole states in favor of campaigning in “safe” areas, disregarded poll watchers who warned that the race was closer than it looked, etc. They failed on almost every appreciable measure.

Except you could only think that only if you didn’t pay attention. Trump IMPROVED the GOP showing among every single racial group other than black women - the data proves that. He got 1 in 3 Latino voters and made a 5-point gain among black men (which is actually shocking in how large it was) You can bury your head in…

Especially when they’ve been using that famous quote of her’s without attribution. Kind of mind-boggling there.

Since they’re all highly rich, I’d like to presume that they all made very substantial donations to organizations that will actually be doing the actual, you know, work of defending those same people long after they’ve all gone back to LA or wherever they live - right? I’d like to think that, but you can’t always…

They don’t care if they’re helping or not. I have personally never met a protestor of this stripe (and by that, I mean the “anarchists”) who was really more than a young adult convinced of the fact that the world “just doesn’t get them” and that “radical action” will “wake people up.” In reality, it’s about little…

But that poll showed all people making under 30k, regardless of race or location. Trump did not focus like a laser on all of them; he focused on the rural and suburban working classes (largely white) - which if you looked at more specific numbers, he actually won them handily.

That’s not entirely true. I responded to that point above - the economic recovery has been uneven, something that Trump exploited. The Obama administration was loathe to address under-employment, something that a lot of people agree is still an issue, as well as people leaving the workforce or being forced out.…

The Prosperity Gospel is, in my mind, one of the most foul, twisted incarnations of Christianity ever to spring forth. There have been incarnations of Christianity that are noble (liberation theology) and those that are relatively harmless. This is not one of them. This is so antithetical to the message of sharing and…

I think it’s debatable. One thing Trump was very, very good at was arguing that America is not doing as well as Obama liked to believe - and on some level, he wasn’t wrong. He did point out that the unemployment rate is not the best marker of economic recovery - it does not count people who either stopped looking for…

They are, but nobody really resists anymore. They’ve just kind of accepted it - he’ll win and more of the same will continue. It’s like what happened with Pussy Riot. The prevailing attitude among the Russians I know was largely “well, what did they expect to happen?” Whether they agreed with them was beside the…

Except you’re deflecting again.
