Fiance’s grandmothers are both Trumpers who are dyed-in-the-wool evangelical southerners who just love Trump and think he can do no wrong, and he’s fighting for them. It’s really, really sad. These are people who *literally* lack critical thinking skills and can’t parse things out. It’s easy to joke about that with a…

I’ll be totally honest, this four-year stretch is going to live with me for the rest of my life. I’m going to harbor a lot of resentment for Trump voters. I’m only 37, so I’ve got a ways to go. But I will do my damndest to fix this shit.

I know you’re being facetious, but here’s a really good deep (no pun intended) dive:

It’s Obama, the guy who was horribly ineffectual as the most powerful man in the Western Hemisphere, but somehow...controls a massive amount of the government as a private citizen.

There’s not really supposed to be a definition, as far as I know. If you were to define “the Deep State”, that would interfere with the central purpose of using the Deep State as a boogeyman: to explain to Republican voters why the Republicans can control the House, Senate, Presidency and Supreme Court, and yet still…

Faux News is poison. But people are lapping it up. This is the kind of shit that preludes a fascist state and a deconstruction of democracy. We should know as a country - we’ve destabilized a lot of governments using almost the same methods. Its just ironic that its happening here and people are just as taken in by it…

A guide to the deep state:

The deep state is literally whoever they need it to be. It’s the FBI when they’re investigating trump, but not when they’re investigating Hillary’s emails, it’s activist judges until those judges are activists for the right, then they’re just doing their job, it’s special counsels, until the special counsel is…

Someone define the “Deep State” to me.

So you have no issues with Charles Kushner’s $2.5 million donation to Harvard? Because that $2.5 million can also help endowments at Harvard that would be shared beyond one privileged kid.

Not only do I think that this was not at all what the developers and tenants had in mind when they designed the concept, I am (fairly) certain that there is a precise plan in effect to discourage non-affluent, non-whites from escaping the climate and stealing wi-fi.

There aren’t enough words in all the languages in the world combined to accurately express the disdain I feel for this monument of disregard for what this city ever represented or was celebrated for. NYC and all of the boroughs now shamelessly attempts to compete with Dubai as Asshole Capital of Planet Earth. Post…

Bernie’s age isn’t ideal.  Still he is sharp.   Worst thing that happens is Bernie dies in office.   Even then we still will have elected the most left wing President ever.   I don’t think Bernie will fix all the problems.  I just think he is an important first step in fixing problems.  President AOC or Omar will do…

You reminded me of one of my favorite Onion videos.  

Does... does she not know that ASU is shorthand for “DeVry but with binge drinking?”

“The McCain Institute for International Leadership is partner-shipped with ASU”

Agreed, this site and The Root has nicknames for every white chick that calls the cops on black people for dumb shit even tho that sometimes black people have died having the cops called on them for no reason.

I think you’re right about everything except this particular interview. Because in this particular interview, we’re all laughing at this stupid motherfucker for trying to cry his way outta this shit. And applauding Gayle for not giving him any applause for his acting performance.

cognitive dissonance is the defining superpower of the “elite”.  

“Americans don’t want to just be given money.”
