“Yeah, listen, America... just... woof. It’s okay, we’ll come back later.”

I know this has been said a million times, but (to me) it deserved repeating, especially after living in Seattle.

Heyyo!

Shit, you could offer me twice the amount of money too and I’ll still avoid moving to Jersey.

I look at this the same way I look at cities who “win” bids for the Olympics. “Better your taxbase than my city’s tax base.”

He might be right, though. If Trump were President in 2001, OBL might have said, “Haven’t they been through enough?”

There’s a lot of economic anxiety out there ...

“I really want to believe all this bipartisanship bullshit is just long-conning everyone”

They may ultimately want a slightly less laissez-faire form of capitalism than Republicans, but it’s not much to differentiate the two, so that’s why our elections are usually about the “culture wars,” while the two…

People didn’t vote for half measures. They didn’t vote for the same geezers to play nice with a bunch of fuckers who are actively or inactively trying to kill half the country. May Satan forgive me, but I agree with Libby on this one.

He pays me in Amazon gift cards that I pluck from his clenched buttocks with my teeth. Takes a solid tug or two depending upon how many payments have been doled out ahead of me.

You’re absolutely right on the whole “but which commandments we talkin’ bout?” aspect.

Yeah this here. This is the reason why people have a difficult time trusting centrist and right-wing Democrats. Because they insist on fronting candidates like this and fighting tooth and nail to defend them instead of acknowledging reality and cutting bait. How is this person going to reasonably govern any…

That’s going to be the biggest challenge of this whole election season: people have their expectations set high across the board for this mythical Blue Wave. I think there’s going to be some pretty heavy disappointments, especially as both sides are coming out in force to try to get theirs in the polls. The Red is…

NBC’s apology is in the same spirit of the guys who said they were sorry for not having enough lifeboats on the Titanic the day after it sank.

“After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible.”

And, surprise surprise, it has the same effect, mistake, or not.
