But Trump wasn’t offering the quid pro quo: he was offering to up end the system in a manner even the most extreme of the other candidates were incapable of offering. Between him and Rubio, I would have voted Rubio: I dislike him and his policies, but I know exactly what voting for him gets, just as I know exactly…

Meh. I’ll give him credit for acknowledging the GOP strategy toward Obama was nihilistic and bordered on sedition. First step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

You don’t need to tell me about the Faustian bargain. I do the best deals with the Faustians. I’ve done deals with them for many years. They’ve always been very nice to me. And we’ve done some tremendous deals. Believe me, these were very, very, very incredible deals. Many, many people have looked at my deals with the…

You shouldn’t worry too much: while we do want more civilian oversight than less of the military, many of the civilian leaders in the Executive Branch are former military officers. It tends to be a natural pipeline for officers to move into federal civilian service once their tenures end, and Kelly, McMasters, and…

Flake: Trump is an inhuman monster who is an existential threat.

It’s possible, but I see Kelly and Bannon butting heads a lot, especially in regards to access to the President: Bannon is in a weird position where he (technically) can access the President when he wants to, but Kelly is supposed to be the filter that limits access to the President by design. They could end up in…

The super-authoritarian use of “my generals” never fails to disturb.

This is why I’m skeptical of Kelly’s new tenure as Chief of Staff.

the problem w this is that christians who are against abortion for religious reasons generally lump all forms of birth control in with it. the only not sinful sex is sex for pro-creation, therefore anything that prevents a baby is sinful. see also: masturbation and homosexuality.

Thank you. This is such bullshit. Democrats are supposed to be progressive, which means they believe in fucking bodily autonomy for women: The right to make our own medical decisions, the right to be or not to be pregnant if we wish, period. If you believe in taking those rights away from women, you should be…

I mean they definitely exist, but at this point I’d imagine the “liberal babykiller” mindset is so set in stone, and the right-wing so heavily mired in identity politics, that there’s no significant margin of people who’d actually bother switching their vote.

Take a look at what happened in Texas when they slashed family-planning services as part of their effort to defund Planned Parenthood: per capita abortions actually went up, directly proportional to the degree by which abortions were made more difficult, family-planning and birth control was made less accessible,…

My daughter got in some small trouble at music camp this summer for kicking this kid in the balls. He’d apparently been picking on her regularly, actually shoved her down. He started to approach her the following day and she just full on punt kicked him right in testicles. Then double tapped him for good measure. My…

I like to think that when Trump eventually gets arrested for one of his many many crimes, the arresting officers will heed his advice and rough him up. Put him in some size XS handcuffs and slam his fat bloated head into the doorframe of a cop car.

The only acceptable expression for them to be wearing at this moment

The barely suppressed glee on the faces of the officers behind him is giving me the creeps

Watching pacifist Jimmy Carter just go apeshit on Trump would be immensely gratifying

IMO ANY former POTUS in recent memory would have no problem mercilessly beating the snot out of that fat wad of goo.

Am I out of touch for not knowing who these very attractive folks are?
