I actually think that misunderstands Kim; obviously, the glorious leader propaganda is ridiculous but it's also propaganda for the people. Kim Jong Un should be assumed to be a rational, evil person who is hell-bent on maintaining his own regime. Starting a large war wouldn't do this, but threatening to in order to…

Guys, it's only been 7 (out of 48) months, and this shit is already going on

I said elsewhere in this thread that Antifa people were basically completely legitimized by tonight's events. Yes, they are protesting actual, dangerous, encroaching fascism, and they are absolutely not overreacting or ideologically equal to those they're protesting

I just keep thinking "How low will this guy drive his approval in a still-pretty-damn-good-if-slightly-slowing economy?" and the answer is "he fucks up everything to such a degree that events just happening in this country will be a big enough stumbling block to fuck him over", and here you go. Without Donald, this…

I call bullshit. I've literally never seen a Republican embarrassed by a political leech, traitor, swampfuck ally

A shortage of American values at least…
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal…

Ok, regular news posts today. Sen Brown of Ohio is "demanding answers" from Case Farms (https://www.propublica.org/… ), because they have a mind-boggling unsafe workplace, as uncovered by ProPublica (the original expose is linked to the article I posted). Basically, this hyper-unsafe workplace was losing workers so…

I'm turning into my grandfather; I am lost in nostalgia for the time when punching Nazis was encouraged, romanticized, and approved by mainstream America, because Nazis were a symbol of the nadir of humanity. Remember?

Once again, this is why I should be a billionaire

The ability to use that logic to troll Donald is immense. Hillary really should have just said "Y'all should be thanking me; I'm bringing the issue of proper use of classified material out into the open" whenever the subject of emails came up. Since the American people favor tone-deafness and belligerence over genuine…

I tend to hope not, simply because an army that can ignore Donald Trump can also ignore Kamala Harris or Kirsten Gillibrand. And that concerns me

On election night I tested to see if I qualified for a visa for New Zealand as a skilled migrant (I don't remember how they worded it). You need a Master's or a professional job lined up in order to get it. Everything else looked like it would take a lot longer to get through the necessary paperwork/qualifications

I wind up quoting that so much, and nobody ever gets it, and it just makes me sad

It's part of being spoiled by all the great shows around us. When shows can be great, interesting, intelligent, and treat "other" people (such as LGBT, minorities, etc) as, ya know, people, and not psychopaths or stereotypes, you realize just how crap the standard is, how lazy the stereotypes are, etc…

It really doesn't matter, since Donald is their boss, terrifyingly

More notable than what he said in my opinion is that he called a press conference for the fuck of it (http://www.politico.com/sto… ). He got bored and decided to call reporters for this conference. Like a child demanding attention, but with nuclear weapons in addition to the incontinence.

How can they get away with not expanding early voting in Democratic areas? I just… is our Democracy that weak?

I spent the whole movie telling my brother "He sounds exactly like Hugh Laurie in House" and nobody else seemed to really think so. I'm glad for this validation tbh

I'm actually split on how much bipartisanship we should demand. I just think: do we want to pull an Obama and force ourselves to put through watered down-shittier laws that Republicans will just oppose anyway, just to say "we're trying to be bipartisan!"?

So, it appears that Donald (well, his cronies/allies) are going to primary Senator Flake for (only) rhetorically distancing himself from The Dumb (http://www.politico.com/sto… ). Well, they’ll try. Ideally, they will succeed, and the woman who wins the primary loses to the Democrat in 2018, because Arizona’s been…
