Have you met America?

Dude, it’s been TWO DAYS. Pull the stick out of your ass and maybe have a couple of “brews” yourself to relax. It must be terrible to be your friend; “I get it, you guys had a baby yesterday, don’t you think it’s time you stop talking about it? I mean, really, get over it.”

Note, she is wearing Cubbie blue. *heart eyes*

The difference is that baseball is a game where statistics fluctuate with literally every inning (the Cubs were HEAVILY favored to win at the START of the series, then less favored each time they lost, then more favored each time they won) and also involves groups of 9 men hitting balls with sticks, while an election…

Oh my god I forgot about that. We’re gonna need a full post commemorating all of these Michelle moments in January as we say goodbye to the Obama White House. Her splendor must be celebrated properly.

It’s amazing, because when I first saw this I didn’t understand what people meant when they were talking about paint because all I could see were oily legs and the legs were clearly not a paint spill. And since I realized the oily legs were expertly painted that way, I can’t see them as oily ever again.

W!

There are about 10,000 70+-year-old Chicago native grandmas and grandpas who would happily line up to smack you in the face with their decades of season tickets for this bullshit.

We’re on track to take back the Senate and to seriously weaken the GOP majority in the House, and with the Republicans completely destroyed by the reanimated half-rotted corpse of an experiment in giving Cheetos life and a sense of male entitlement, Hillary is being set up to get some serious shit done in her first…

No. Term limits are incredibly stupid. If you were hiring for your company, would you kick out an executive with 20 years of experience so you could hire someone totally green right out of college? Absolutely not. It is an extension of American idiocy that we think politicians with LESS experience is a good thing…

There’s a difference between Congresses being unwilling to check power and actual expansion of powers in the executive branch. The executive branch has expanded its powers over the last century, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the power Congress has. More acute recent examples of executive branch power…

Hamilton, please go back to my public high school and sit in our National, State, Local Government class - which lasts only a semester! - and learn something, please. There are 10th graders at my alma mater with a better understanding of American democracy (and how to fix it) than you.

I think you’re confusing the president with Congress.

Aside from the fact that this is a gross simplification and basically untrue, the reason the president has been trying to exert as much power as the executive branch can is because Congress refuses to do anything because the majority party - Republicans - has stated its only goal is to block every single thing the…

The only disappointment I felt is that she didn’t brush her shoulder off at the end of the debate. She earned a little bit of flexing.

While I appreciate the pieces needling candidates and journalists about not covering an urgently important issue (even if one of those candidates is happy to talk about her very staunch belief in climate change and immediate, executable plans to start doing what we can to put the brakes on it and invest in long-term…

Just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean companies won’t and don’t do it, especially when they’re big and rich companies. They must have assumed she wouldn’t sue. She, rightly, is suing the fuck out of them for incredibly illegal work practices.

The Americans with Disabilities Act makes it illegal to fire someone for seeking treatment for an addiction, for going to rehab, and for completing rehab and being in recovery. So yes, it is illegal to fire someone for going on medical leave to recover from an addiction which has interfered with their job.

Wait, is that Paris Hilton pic of a real living dog? Because it appears to be smaller than a bunch of hydrangeas and I really, really wish people would stop breeding the tiny teacups, they have such intense health problems. Adopt!!! Rescue!!! Paris, why????
