Agreed.

“but there was a bizarre lack of persistence from the reporters in the room, who changed the subject away from Russia,”

Rachel Maddow does a damn good job too

Oh lord... I actually don’t want to be a downer, but they DO try to play tricks. Can’t speak on library issues, but in town/city/county seats I know there were many, many times when information meetings about some major change (selling municipal property, Walmart opening a 3000sq. ft monstrosity *directly* affecting…

They do. Lesson learned when I was fresh out of college and my first job was as an underpaid reporter for county politics. Real eye opener! Best civics class I ever could have taken. Don’t get me started on FOIA requests!

Corruption always starts small and only grows larger if left unchecked

That’s OK - I’ll be there, protesting on ALL Y’ALL’s behalf!!!

PS - Who will be there January 21 for the protests? I’ll be there

She means that anyone trying to defend the weaker among us, or trying to stand up for civil liberties won’t get the populist rage going on right now. And that by the mere fact of defending EVERYBODY’s civil rights, you serve to enrage those factions who want to feel free to mock, denigrate and abuse the weak without…

So start a fight instead! Vote these fuckers out of office starting with your local ones

Visit North Dakota. Stand with the water protectors. Donate to the ACLU or any other legal organization that can stand up for disenfranchised people and launch lawsuits on their behalf. Donate to Democracy Now! and other independent news agencies... and, most of all, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LOCAL POLITICS. You might not…

Time to start planning a trip to North Dakota

Right, but this is a taxpayer funded surgery. And it doesn’t sound like it’s only “bottom” surgery. I’m sure taxpayers would want to know that this f is truly life saving... and i hate to be like this, but she’s a convicted murderer. Why does this woman get her new body off of taxpayers while your girlfriend (I’m…

Yeah, it’s just so expensive. As a taxpayer paying for it, I’m sure they’d want that understanding that everything had been tried

Can’t we just move her to a woman’s prison and accept her as she sees herself?Why is the state funding her $100K surgery? Can we really say that the surgery is in the same category as a gunshot wound or a car accident if we haven’t tried everything?
