I don’t know about you, but I generally find it easier to spend less money when I’m buying groceries to be able to eat at home rather than going to my desk job where I tell myself I’ll pack a lunch but usually don’t and end up either grazing from the vending machine, ordering takeout, or going through a drive thru.

Hmm... nah.

For the 10,000th time, the message the Democrats had in 2016 was not the problem, it was the messenger. If someone who didn’t feel that her ascendancy was already ordained and didn’t underestimate Trump had run instead of what we got, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Except even if you adjust the costs to today’s dollars, the cost of going to the moon was ridiculously less than anything Bernie has proposed and didn’t require massive increases in tax revenue.

We should ignore anytime anyone talks about intersectionality period, because it’s BS postmodernist thought anyway.

Actually the most unbelievable part of this game and its predecessor is the proliferation of fully automatic weapons that one can seemingly find everywhere in two of the cities most well known for their attempts at gun control. Despite belief to the contrary, full auto weapons make up a tiny minority of the vast

This person is getting paid $16.50 to take phone calls at home. Therefore they have effectively zero costs related to getting to work, as they don’t need to commute or eat out. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. And since they work from home, they can do it anywhere, so that’s one less barrier to them relocating to

Kinja’ed.

I have said this many times. The people who got brought up to the new minimum might be better off for a time, but the people who were already making that much or slightly more get screwed. Because all of a sudden what was a decent wage is now just above the bottom. Once prices catch up to the wage increase, there’s

Ahh yes, I knew there was another big one that I was missing.

I mean, it might also have something to do with the fact that AOC has said a lot of dumb things that underscore that she doesn’t really know what she’s talking about either, and has put unnecessary and embarrassing pressure on the rest of her Democratic colleagues.

Lol, this. I still maintain the reason Trump won’t release his tax returns is that he only has what, for him, would be a embarrassingly small amount of money. Like I don’t doubt that he’s probably a multimillionaire, but he’s probably not a billionaire. If there were evidence of payments from the Russians I really

You act like he’s had the time or the ability to bang porn stars now that he’s president. You don’t think that shit would be immediately obvious now that he’s front and center in everyone’s minds 24/7? Being president has saved him a shitload of money. Besides that, the fact that he did bang porn stars didn’t hurt him

Now playing

The theme song for Progressives in 2020:

Ahh yes, truly a reasoned take that won’t get the people with all the guns, literally, up in arms.

I’ll still wager heavily that there isn’t some smoking gun in Trump’s returns that proves he’s on the take from Russian oligarchs. I really don’t believe he’d see that as something to hide, it would be an example of his international business skill in his mind. Plus the fact that he hasn’t really been as friendly or

Maybe, maayyyybe, a 4th amendment case could be made, but that runs the risk of invalidating a whole host of bullshit the governments pull on citizens under the guise of “security”.

They can’t stand the fact that the House can’t just pass whatever legislation it wants and would rather just pretend like that isn’t the case, yes. It’s not that they don’t actually know this, they just think that if they pretend enough, eventually we’ll all demand that it be true.

Rather than wasting political capital on it now, it serves far greater purpose to allow people running in 2020 to use single-payer healthcare or Medicare for All as a talking point and campaign promise than for her to spend any time focusing on it now when any such proposal will be DOA in the Senate on top of also
