There MUST be something like that going on. Unless it’s just a case of “we’ll, we can’t oppose all his picks, who are we, Mitch McConnell?”
Well, Sheriff Tough Guy Clarke, for one. http://milwaukeerecord.com/city-life/sheriff-clarke-threatens-knock-goofs-shake-head/
WHAT?
Agreed. I don’t feel super sad for the anti-abortion women who didn’t get a cross-stitched invitation, frankly. The organizers felt that making anti-choice groups an explicit part of the organizing committee wouldn’t have worked because one of the key tenets was women’s reproductive rights; but anti-choice women still…

I wonder if Trump has pitched a “Trump’s White House” reality show yet? Because it’s only a matter of time.
There are things, theres a lot of things that he’s done already, a lot of amazing people that he’s appointed, a lot of success that he’s having. And it would be nice once in a while for someone just to say—report it straight up—he appointed this person, here’s their background.

He could have gone high and not addressed it at all, or he could have been petty but accurate and pointed out the enormous crowds he drew during his campaign. (He could even have said…

To the troll I dismissed:
I understand. I actually exclaimed “Fuuuh...” at work before trailing off.
FUUUUUUCK THAT GUY
I honestly don’t think Trump would be as galled by donations to Planned Parenthood as Mike Pence undoubtedly is (though the latter is an actual grownup politician who seethes silently instead of taking to Twitter). I think if we wanted to get a rise out of PEOTUS we should donate to immigrants / refugees or RAINN.
I use a Kindle for reading random stuff on the go, on the bus, while traveling etc. But books I really love I want in physical form. I like to reread things that made an impression on me, and I’m much less likely to if they’re just a list of file names on my Kindle. Plus I find them comforting to have around, and…

Everyone in that room cares deeply. But it’s good to remind ourselves and each other not to get complacent just because things don’t immediately get as bad as we fear, or not as bad for us personally as we fear.
It means she might flip back and turn on him.
