They all have in common the corrupting, alluring potion of “You, Too, Are But Moments Away From Being Celebrated For Your Mediocrity And/Or Outright Immoral Behavior!”

The resistance crowd started the normalization of political violence? Uh fuck you and where were you during a year and a half of Trump’s rallies, where people were getting brutalized and he promised to pay their legal fees for their thuggery? Do you really expect the left not to respond to the violence that Nazis…

Tell us about all the left-wing militias, please.

If you think Kathy Griffins stupid act is what motivated this, you are delusional. You really think it was the Kathy Griffin beheading photo that gave this guy the inkling to go to the field and shoot Government officials? Man that’s just a bad take .

Sadly, no. This will just result in people having even more reduced access to their representatives (good excuse for not having any town halls!).

It’s always interesting to see the degree people’s confirmation bias will lead them to accept as fact what they would normally recognize as paranoid conspiracy theory. This is silly. The Democratic Party has always had trouble putting forth a strong national candidate except for once or twice in a generation. It’s a…

Play that fairy tale over and over in your head for as long as you want. It’s not difficult to make young people “care” about a primary. Young people, like all stupid people, have very obvious buttons. All you have to do is push them: patronize their naive sense of idealism, feed their sense of populist victimhood,…

The thing about Pelosi is that she’s a top-knotch negotiator and remarkably good at the dull, every day process of governing. She gets legitimate, solid legislation passed and follows through on making sure it’s implemented. She’s not sexy or glamorous and she comes off as a huge dork (because she is) but she’s good…

That’s paranoid bullshit. The Clintons don’t have the power to determine who’s elected to the senate or governor’s office in any given state. There’s been no shortage of prominent Democrats in the last three decades. There just haven’t been very many who seemed to be worth a damn. Try as you might, that’s not a…

The funny criticism of Hillary Clinton’s supposed “coronation” was the implication that the Democrats of 2015 had a super deep bench of up and comers that she kept from running. The reality is that between 2004 (when a State senator from Illinois gave a keynote address before the DNCC) and 2016, not a single Democrat…

This shit was always the end stage of the Fox News phenomena. I remember my dad telling me way back in 2002 or 2003 how much their motto unnerved him. “Fair and balanced news you can trust.” I asked him why (being a 19 year old kid who didn’t realize the finer details about propaganda.) He explained it something like…

People seem to equate opinion pieces, which fills up a majority of broadcast news, with the report of news/facts which is alarming.

O/T but I found a new toy. Please use it irresponsibly.

Don’t laugh. As an American, this is humiliating. Every childish, bully thing he does is a reflection on us, as a people. The outside world doesn’t see Americans as this split thing of people who voted for Trump and those who didn’t. They see us as one nation who elected this asshole (and there is no better term for…

The defamation was “Rebel Wilson is lying about her age,” and not “Rebel Wilson is 33.”

The President’s mature and dignified response involved calling the perpetrators of the bombing “losers”. Because in the face of a tragedy, you always want to hear the leader of the free world using playground taunts.
