a gentle reminder that even if Gaetz is arrested, Boebert or 3-Toed Marge are voted out, Cocaine Mitch dies, etc., there will ALWAYS be an equally incompetent wingnut (either in the larval stages or the advanced stages like Palin) waiting to replace them. I blame Palin for really showing how much of an incompetent…

I am no fan of the Cheneys. But Liz Cheney has shown the kind of respectability for American democracy that does not exist in the rest of her party of anti-American christofascists. She knew it was going to turn out this way, and she could have taken the easy way out to keep this from happening. But she has to be…
I think it’s this and also (my personal pet theory) is it’s a carry-over from the self-esteem movement from the 70's where everyone thought the key to developing good self-esteem in kids was to praise them incessantly, UNTIL you get into the real world and realize the real world expects you to give them a tangible…
as smart as Hillary Clinton is, I can’t believe how much she underestimated how much the average “deplorable” will happily, laughingly tell you they’re a “deplorable”, and how much t***p emboldened those turds to revel in being “deplorable.” Wow, I mean they can’t wait to share that with you (in my experience), much…
And why do some of them also have the “Let’s Go Brandon” stickers? The plates are hideous enough. The sticker isn’t necessary. I already know you’re an asshole.
Northern Virginia too. Alexandria, to be exact. But I'm a native Chicagoan. The patches of blue and red areas in Virginia and Maryland are fascinating. And (at times) scary.
Former N.Va-er here (Arlington area). You don’t have to travel far to get a good dose of redneck - Marshall is a good example. One of the [very brave] residents on Route 17 across from Old Tavern Road always have Democratic party signs up during election season. They keep replacing them even after being shot at and…
mid-Baltimore County near Belair Road. I still remember going to a Halloween party in 2016 and meeting our kid’s bus driver’s wife dressed as a “basket of deplorables” with a wicker basket containing a fake musket and a copy of the Constitution. It’s been all downhill since then. Now about a mile from my house on…
Moved to Annapolis after growing up in Newton... It’s like a completely different country at times.
Oh good. I was just saying the other day that we needed a new Palin family. And I’m sorry, but:
I thought all these shitbags were against "cancel culture" but every time you turn around, they're trying to cancel reality, history and culture. Pathetic.
While I understand your sentiment, it would be extremely difficult for a teacher to find another job if he were to force them to fire him by not complying with the district’s directive. By resigning, he is making a strong statement while still retaining his ability to find another job by controlling the narrative. If…
This is definitely a dress rehearsal. His theatrics are dead serious, too.
I feel like this is all an attempt to garner support for a DeSantis presidential run. He doesn’t care that he’s gutting his state and cutting off kids futures at the knees, he’s peacing out.
From what I can tell, this is actually intended to create a larger, more racist base. Racism today stems from ignorance as the average white American doesn’t interact or empathize with black minorities, and are constantly ‘conditioned’ to see them as a threat in some form, through media or through politicians’ hateful…
“But, but....Batgirl's emails"
Just more blatant hypocrisy from the right.
It’s really sad, because in a different timeline this could be such an amazing story. School board member sees that children are not being served adequately by public school sex ed (whether because of the curriculum, abstinence demands, the lack of LGBTQ+ discussion, whatever) and decides to just offer a public…
Nobody is making anyone sign up for the workshops, so why do these goons, from Carlson on down, even care? And why are they OK with being ignorant about sex?
Oh yeah, because goons.
