The Jesus and Mary chain-smokers.
Several years ago, I read an article about the Finnish government’s complete overhaul of their services for children a few decades ago. The first step was the famous Finnish baby box - a cardboard box that doubles as a cradle - filled with essentials for a newborn child. Because it is Finland, it includes essentials…
I mean, feel free to explain to little Janie all about your Randian jerkoff fantasy and how her mother is a leech on the system but Janie is eight and she’s hungry and she doesn’t understand why adults who have food won’t give her food when she’s hungry.
And yet somewhere in the bowels of the RNC HQ (fig. 1), I guarantee Betsy DeVos is furiously writing a proposal to hire her dipshit brother’s mercenaries to stand at the end of the lunch lines, slapping trays out of the hands of 8-year olds and handing them bootstraps. Because we live in garbage times now.
I’m sure she’ll be rejected again.
Saw this on twitter and it made me laugh.
Hey, now. It was Mos Eisley that was the wretched hive of scum and villainy.
The Death star wasn’t a hive of scum and villainy at all.
When white folk think their race acts as a fucking job qualification. Go fuck yourself, Becky Stoneheart. With your drowned rat looking self.
“he knows deep down in his cheese-stuffed heart that he isn’t as intelligent, poised, interesting, compassionate, handsome, caring, lovable, etc. as Pres. Obama”
Because Obama did it or liked it. And because so much of GOP politics and Trump’s in particular begin and end with “Fuck Obama”. They really got put out by those eight years of a black man running the country and actually being really good at it, they need to screw over his legacy as much as possible.
Every cabinet member appears to be in a deranged competition to see who can do the most brazenly awful things.
It’s this weird-ass sort of eugenics they’re wanting to do. If you can’t “hack it” through their bullshit American hazing ritual — involving being the right skin color, conforming to certain cultural roles they want to enforce, etc — you just don’t make it and out you go. By removing forced protections, they’re…
I guess I don’t understand. Why is it a bad thing to protect against sex discrimination? Or to keep pollution out of our air & water? Or to pay people equally for the same job? Or to have regulations in place to keep buildings from falling down or people from being poisoned? I just can’t wrap my mind around whatever…
I feel you on all of this and wish I could reach out and give you a big hug. I so loved having the Obamas in the White House and knowing that they were representing us to the world. I loved that when people looked at the U.S. they saw the Obamas, a smart, accomplished, decent, and beautiful family. I loved the class…
I read this earlier and I just wanted to cry into my socks. Thankfully I’ve been doing a lot of house shit today so I keep using powertools and imagine them drowning out Dolt 45* Agent Orange.
I’ll never be over it. I was 18 during the ‘08 campaign, and I walked in the rain to my polling place off campus. I cheered and cried with my friends in the theater house when the results came in. He was the first president I ever got to vote for, and damn was it a good way to start—with a man who looked like me, and…
