It was in the long form which only maybe one in a hundred had to fill out. Most people filled out the shortened version of about 10 questions because Republicans get all whiny about ‘invasive’ questions on the census.

Reason 12335 for the vital importance of voting in the midterms. This cannot be stressed enough. You need to vote for State as well as national candidates. Take back the state houses. And yes you’ll have to work with people you only agree 75% maybe even only 55% of the time but to paraphrase Loretta Ross, there’s…

I had a really great joke about Jonestown, but the punchline was too long.

Like so many good shows it started out as a better British TV show, changing rooms. Handy Andy was a UK hero for a while.

literally the first movie I ever saw. My mother took me to see it circa 11973-1974 , I was 3 years old and it freaks my mother out to this day that I can remember seeing it at the Saco movie theater on Main Street (now a bank)

That cat in that photo looks like Rocko, the 15lb stray Tom cat that moved into my house, over the objections of my other two cats. He let himself be neutered, and turned into a loving lap cat and house kitty and followed me everywhere. I really miss that cat.

yeah, I was putting my tongue in cheek there. I thought it would be a bit extreme to call for euthanasia of the Trump voters. Equally dark is my fantasy of staging an Open Carry Rally in an auditorium where I planned to set off firecrackers and smoke bombs to let evolution take it’s course.

Wow. Just wow. I’m numb from the sheer disconnect from reality.

If Trump voters want to blame both Republicans and Democrats for the bills failure then I strongly urge them not to vote in the mid-terms in 2018. Stay home. Watch Fox that day. Whatever. Just don’t go to the polls.

I’m curious to know, if Ryan becomes president, does he immediately lose his seat in Congress? Or does he continue double duty as Speaker. I guess it makes sense that he’d move on to fill the presidential term, and a special election would be held to replace him and a new election would be held for a new speaker.

Oh such happy memories of Super Bowl 49:

You put words to my unvocalized hatred of the GOP. There is no middle ground with these racist, sexist, homophobic fuckiers Go the way of Know-Nothings and Whigs, and let intelligent people govern.

I want a two party system, the Democrats taking their rightful place as a Center right party holding the status quo and defending the progressive gains of the previous generation. A new resurgent leftist party full of Big Ideas needs to come along to nudge this country forward, and the GOP needs to relegated to the…

The GOP are the cockroaches of politics. Nobody thought they’d recover from Roosevelt and the New Deal, but they clawed back. Nobody thought they’d recover from the 1964 electoral drubbing, but they clawed back, nobody thought they’d recover from Watergate, but they resurged. Nobody thought they’d win in 2016 and…

I’d feel bad for him if Trump literally wiped his ball sack across Ryan’s face. But I’d definitely want to see it, not just hear about it.

OH I would savor the delicious sweet irony if that came to pass. Is there a vulnerable GOP rep in NYC she could challenge? How safe is Steve King?

My first long term relationship we moved in after dating about two months, circumstances sort of forcing us together, as I was living with my parents at the time and they were moving from Maine to North Carolina so it was either find my own place or move in with her. That lasted 19 years. My current relationship we…

Dems crash and burn so easily yet human scum factories like Christie and Gingrich somehow stay politically relevant despite all the crap they’ve done. The double standard is staggeringly unfair.

Emma would never have dated Drumpf, in a delicious irony the one thing the two of them have in a common is a preference for sexy younger partners.
