I have a friend who does this. She lives the ultimate academic lefty life and doesn’t talk a lot about her time in the military, so when people make assumptions she shuts it right the hell down.

My favorite thing about being a veteran but keeping it on the down low is it enables me to go absolutely ballistic on the idiots who pull this shit in arguments.

Scarborough was throwing this theory out there - that McConnell got a phone call from the White House telling him to shut it down.

He wanted to put Warren “in her place.” This is a promise that I’d stake my life on.

Can we have Al Franken as her running mate?

GOP Delenda Est.

Yup. That’s enough. Walk away, dissapear and wrap yourself in the warm embrace that you did all you could and nothing will ever change again and there is no further discussion necessary.

They are so blind by their own greed and ambition. If they weren’t they would realize everything Trump has touched in his life has died; It is my deepest hope he takes down McConnell and Ryan with him.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: what is the motivation for these people to be so vile? This pure evil appears to go beyond just politics but what’s the end game for them? I genuinely don’t understand it.

She Persisted. Warren/X 2020

congratulations to Elizabeth Warren on her 2020 campaign slogan

Absolutely, but those people weren’t going to be convinced anyway. There may be some people on the fence that need to see how much of a liar she is.

Professor here. It’s a bizarre misapplication of peer review. Yes, if you have compelling new findings that contradict previous scholarship, you have to submit the data and your interpretation of it for peer review. This submission will probably be dense and likely only be understood by specialists, and that’s…

My personal “favorite” bit of news today concerning our dear Senators was this one over on Politico, where Congressman Reichert told his fellow lilly-livered elected officials:

Do the old gimmick of having Trump look in the mirror. Baldwin plays Trump; Rosie O’Donnell plays the reflection.

The lesson we should learn from Trump’s win is that 1) run a better campaign because, frankly, even though I voted for Hillary, I admit she ran a bad one and 2) vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Don’t take voting for granted. The MidWest voters who went for Trump didn’t and here we are.

A Wyoming voter’s vote for president is worth 118% of my vote based on population, and even higher based on number of eligible voters. Why is that fair?

This comment was doing okay until it got to the bullshit “Going by popular vote wouldn’t be faaaaaiiiir....” bullshit. Going by popular vote, a California citizen’s vote would have the exact same weight as a North Dakota citizen’s vote...one citizen, one vote. As it is now in a presidential election, a North Dakota…

Please explain how a single voter in N Dakota would gain greater representation by casting his vote on the coast in a popular vote system. It would be, by definition, the adding of all votes into a single bloc regardless of where they are cast.
