I’m no fan of Cuomo, and wish he would step aside rather than run for a 3rd term, but I don’t necessarily consider it a positive development that an actor with no political experience whatsoever is somehow considered a serious candidate for governor of one of the most populous states in the country... Anymore than a…

It does for determining whether or not she’s a (“big C”) Christian—only her Church or other Christians could say otherwise (and they won’t). But one can surely be a Christian and a hypocrite, as we often witness.

My point is that for people that refer to themselves as “big C” Christians, it’s a label they give themselves and tolerate in others, rather than an actual statement of values and strict adherence to those values. Without any Christian bonafides of our own, even though we can point out the hypocrisy in a person’s…

He sounds like a guy that stocks all the bathrooms in his house with single-ply toilet paper, but keeps a stash of Quilted Northern (which is owned by the Koch Bros.) under lock and key just for his own tender butthole.

Maybe it was too far to call her a “so-called Christian”, because I guess she considers herself one and that’s all that matters. But she is a hypocrite—claiming to hold Christian values, which prohibit lying or “bearing false witness” (neither of which are exclusive to Christianity—plenty of secular people also have…

But can we get a sequel where Marlon Bundo goes to the Koch Brothers’ donor summit (where everyone can also be played by cute animals), and learns that pollution and financial deregulation were the lord’s plan all along, despite what Elizabeth Warren (also a great rabbit name) says? Basically Jane Mayer’s Dark Money,…

It’s like she thought that most people would watch the interview on mute, and if she just kept smiling through the whole thing, nobody would notice what a trainwreck it was. I’m still not entirely sure what her policies are, other than that she seems to like charter schools because she dislikes anything associated…

I mean, he definitely committed fraud, and should be punished for it, but 7 years in federal prison is a lot considering that his investors still have their money, and jacking up prices on drugs doesn’t appear to be illegal (or else everyone from Valeant would be in prison too). Honestly, he just seems like a weird…

The speakers don’t have a right to a platform, but the university may be required to be “fair” in allowing its different student groups (like the College Republicans) in selecting different speakers to come speak on campus—although with certain exceptions for “hate speech” (although this definition has in the past…

One thing that Trump seems to understand is that as long as people are talking about you, whether good or bad, it’s still a good thing for your brand and name recognition—and can be used to one’s benefit as long as ethics/morals/truth aren’t really a concern. The rest of the right-wing establishment seems to be…

And, when taxes have to be raised in the future, it’s almost certainly going to have to be the Democrats’ responsibility to do so, which will likely end up costing them the next election. This tax cut was great for Republicans ability to put up a big “W” on the board (despite the fact that it’s a complete fraud and…

There are potential lessons to be drawn from the #metoo movement here as well, and the downfall of Harvey Weinstein. Everybody was afraid to go up against Harvey Weinstein for fear of it ruining their careers, until a few women did, and his swift and complete downfall ensued—his power was based on people’s…

At least Betsy DeVos has the decency to screw it all up on her on dime...

As far as paid protestors go, Dana Loesch gets paid more than any of them. And this is her job—she chooses to do this, and can stop at any time. These kids didn’t choose to have a former student murder 17 of their classmates with an AR-15, and they’re showing a level of bravery that must be incompressible to Dana…

I’m surprised this isn’t a first amendment violation. Sure, the legislation can choose to support or not support a tax reduction measure for a particular company or industry, but when the stated reason for voting it down is because the company engaged in protected speech?

I know, but you have to understand how much beating Boston in anything, especially beating Tom Brady, will lift the spirits of Philadelphians.

Wow, so he’s actually doing all of the things that others are just proposing? What is this magical city called, again?

The 2nd Amendment is not an unlimited right, even Scalia said so.

I wasn’t able to watch the whole thing, but did anyone call out Loesch for being a shill for the gun industry and nothing else? The NRA doesn’t give a fuck about anyone, except for their ability to keep buying guns from those that the NRA actually represents.

Damn, and I thought they were trying to ban baggy pants so people can’t carry guns in them (watch the video at the link).
