When we look back and around at how government using tax dollars to create huge pushes of new industry and infrastructure, and the positive effects that can be shown to have repeatedly upon the economy, it’s kind of amazing that our politicians just sit around shitting their pants about using money on infrastructure…

I was born for this thread...

Also crying at my desk here. It says a lot about how raw I still am and how dismal and nightmarish everything is that even a robotic video where she just kind of rehashes a bunch of stuff she’s already said along with “the future is female” and I’m left crying and descending down into a misery spiral. Also some of the…

Bullshit. Bernie dragged the primary on when it was beyond obvious he lost. He was butt hurt and would not let it go. He still thinks he would have beaten Trump. All politicians have egos and she is no different but vaginas are supposed to keep thier emotions in check amirite.

BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY THE SAME!!!

Oh cripes, and now I’m crying at my desk. I’m still expecting to wake up from this nightmare, but I keep pinching myself and nothing is happening. Except bruises.

I saw that and my first thought was that no, it isn’t at all like that. It’s more like having a dietician advise that you eat at Burger King. (without having to disclose the fact that he owns a bunch of Burger Kings.)

Can’t believe you didn’t include this amazing Cohn quote:

I made us a present!

While Melania is making up her mind, it’s costing New York City more than $1 million per day to keep the Trump family safe

Everyone has an obligation to disobey unlawful orders and we shouldn’t forget it. I’m glad Sally Yates did the right thing; I have a feeling that is going to be a rare occurrence over the next four years.

The reason I can comment on this story is because America took in refugees during WWII.

History lesson: Remember how during WW2 the United States turned away thousands of Jewish refugees? Yea, let’s not do that again.

I would pay some of my hard-earned money to hear that said at a presser in a British accent.

You remember when lots of kids from Guatemala crossed through Mexico and over the U.S. border and were (are still?) held in detention camps? My sister was being very vocal about sending them back to where they came from. I asked her to imagine how bad life would have to be where we lived before she would tell her…

I’m scared too. I read the news and I keep thinking “SOMEBODY stop him!!”, and get this feeling as if I could reach through the computer screen and shake them by the shoulders. This can’t be happening.

This motherfucker also said, regarding forcing EPA to take down its website about climate change and national parks to remove tweets critical of Trump’s anti-climate stance: “That wasn’t us. That came from inside those agencies because they violated their own anti-lobbying policies. That wasn’t us.”

“Unless we get close to 100 percent of our country voting, we’re really not going to be a democracy,” she added, leaving us with a monumental task indeed.

“She also explained her concept of diversity when it comes to filling out the Supreme Court, complaining that there’s no criminal defense attorney on the court, none are experienced in environmental or education law, and the only civil rights lawyer is Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”
