For someone who is saying she wants nothing to do with a Trump presidency, someone sure seems to be teeing herself up to appeal to the base fundamentalist voters. Maybe she thinks that her chance at the big dance is in 4 years?

This is going to sound strange, but part of me welcomes the blatantly misogynistic attacks from Trump and Republicans. There was some polling a few years back that suggests female politicians can use those attacks to their advantage if they handle them in the right way (e.g. Ann Richards). If Clinton responds to Trump…

Dear Mr. Christie and all of the gun humping, and gun humper pandering fools that put the NRA talking points before the safety of real humans, from the bottom of my black little heart I issue you a hearty fuck you, most sincerely. I have never hidden the fact that the kids’ dad was a drunken, abusive moron that should…

Christie conditionally vetoed a similar bill in November 2015, saying he’d rather focus on making it easier for domestic violence victims to get guns of their own.

This seems to be a strawman, because even her fans would admit she’s flawed. This very story mentions that.

Fallin, an anti-abortion Republican, vetoed the bill today because she didn’t believe it could withstand an (inevitable) legal challenge,

in short, 64 Sanders delegates at the convention were disqualified, according to the state party, either because they failed to show up, failed to register as Democrats by May 1, or because they didn’t respond to attempts to confirm their phone numbers or addresses.

"Our campaign has held giant rallies all across this country, including in high-crime areas"

“Who are you talking to?” and older woman’s voice shouted worriedly from the background.

I’ve mentioned her before, but one of my wife’s 3 living relatives is a retired nun. She lives in an assisted living facility in New Jersey now, and she is absolutely LIVID about all this birth control nonsense. Like, she acknowledges that it’s a component of the Catholic faith, but cannot figure out “What gives a…

My guess is that the direction things were going was shit, because RBG, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer would not do us like this if they thought making a decision would result in a good outcome.

My best friend got invited to the wedding of a niece of the owner of her fave Indian restaurant. Now that’s being a regular!

In my old neighborhood I would order from the same burger place at least weekly (they had a lamb burger with feta that was TO DIE) and after a while I noticed they stopped putting new menus in my bag—I tweeted that they must have noticed I order from them a lot. They replied. They noticed.

I love this story! I was saved by my consierge checking on me and calling 911 a few years back. I used to walk by her to use the gym every morning at the same time. On the 3rd day that I didn’t show she came looking for me. I had a bad reaction to new medication and was completely out of it. I had a very serious…

The anti-choice (or to use the term I prefer, pro-forced-birth) movement, or at least a significant number of its adherents, is well aware that its rhetoric inspires unbalanced nutjobs to commit murder.

Some people are going to rage about this, but this is kind of a point that needs to be made. All this overheated anti-abortion rhetoric absolutely has the potential to inspire unbalanced nutjobs like Dear. The anti-choice movement needs to stop behaving like it doesn’t, and that it isn’t responsible for what happens.

Not competent to stand trial but purchasing an AK-47 and a pile of other guns - A-OK!

“And tonight we’ll be preparing a lovely Nope soup, followed by a salad with Hearts of Nope. For an entree we’re cooking up a juicy, rare Cote de Nope with Scalloped Nopes and freshly steamed French Nopes. And for dessert, Macaroons. Just kidding. It’s Nope cupcakes”
