Apparently a lot more than you do! Among other things, he rebuilt DoJ’s Civil Rights Division, implementing hate crimes laws and overseeing the first convention under the Shepherd Act. He filed multiple lawsuits against school districts to protect students there against discrimination, including those that his…

Nah, because it pisses me off that you called me disingenuous. I’m sorry I interpreted something differently than you did, but I think I disagreed with you pretty politely.

Do you know anything about Tom Perez beyond that he endorsed Clinton in the primary? That you think he’s anything other than a faithful and progressive public servant says everything.

I mean, I read it. I think even a moderately generous reading tells you that people in the party means officials, and I think their later comments made that even clearer, but YMMV.

It really feels like you’re splitting hairs on “people in the party,” when I think it’s pretty easy to tell that they didn’t mean a general election.

Or Obama glow. For fuck’s sake.

Yoooooooooooo

Look, everyone who voted is a member of the Democratic Party. Was it every member? Of course not. I live in a state where you’re not even allowed to register by party, so how would you even have a national vote? It would be a shitshow, would last forever, and nothing would ever get done. Of ~400 members, 200 are…

Oh god, an open vote for DNC chair would be the fucking worst.

But. . .why? DNC chair is a largely meaningless position. It doesn’t lead the party, and it doesn’t determine the party platform. The chair fundraises. On occasion, the chair tries to come up with a better national strategy. If you want to leave the party, do it, but having this be your Rubicon is. . . odd.

I think it’s probably too big, right? Americans tend to believe strongly in our institutions, and continuity of government is maybe the biggest one. If the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to subvert our democracy, then they’re all illegitimate. . . but what do you do? Install a provisional…

Desperately grasped his hand at a campaign rally in 2012, right after that calamitous first debate. Meant a lot then, means even more to me now.

Man, I like that Virginia is now one of those reliably blue bastions of coastal elites! That happened fast.

Remember when the WHCA claimed that Hillary not taking questions and Trump actively turning his audience against the journalists he kept in pens was the same thing? The both sides bullshit is still going strong.

Gotta be able to follow the navigation app for the system to work. I live in DC and see a lot of uber drivers take the wrong exit on roundabouts, or take the FAR left ramp when they meant to take the SLIGHT left ramp.

Shakespeare in Love wasn’t a great movie or anything, but at least it was a moderately pleasant viewing experience. SPR is too long, gratuitously violent, and that scene where Hanksy grabs Damon and says, “Jimmy. EARN THIS.” makes me viscerally angry.

The Kung Fu Panda franchise has been consistently profitable, but probably not what she has in mind for herself as career milestones.

I’m indifferent to Bond, but Idris makes a damn good Luther.

If you conclude that Russia influenced the election, by what possible measure is Mike Pence legitimately Vice President?

How will he get birthday cake if he doesn’t leave the condo?
