I think it still deserves scorn (some more context, like what she made and what she asked for, her duties, etc. would be nice, but I doubt we’ll get that info). Being an asshole engineer doesn’t mean it’s all forgiven when he treats people like an asshole. It just means we know why he’s acting like an asshole

He didn’t say no when she asked for a raise. He fired her. That’s not normal.

Now I can’t decide if I like this or Mark Hamill reading them as the Joker more!

I got in a long Facebook argument with a stranger over this (it was midnight and I couldn’t sleep, Facebook arguments are my ambien) who said DeVos didn’t do anything wrong because now FINALLY parents have a choice where they send their kids to school, like that’s not already a thing that is allowable. I explained…

He is literally everything the GOP claims to hate.

It makes me want to cry that our female candidate knew she had to practice not being physically intimidated by her opposition.

The HOA is gonna be super pissed about this.

The woofer box just popping out the back is the best part of this.

Ajit Pai is the poster boy of non-representative government. He draws your tax money for salary, he gets government health care, but everything he does he does for industry/donor class. His name should be writ forever large in the big book of enemy of the people.

No. Heads will roll, blame will be assigned everywhere except where it belongs and they’ll keep on trying. It’s like Young Adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy adaptations. No matter how many fail, they all think they’re going to get their Harry Potter of Hunger games. The smell of money always covers the stench of failure.

Based on the latest report for FY16, EMALS failure rate is at 400 Mean Cycles Between Critical Failure. Way below the 4,166 requirement. It has 7% chance of completing 4 day operation, 67% chance of one day sustained operation. The report also said, “Absent a major redesign, EMALS is unlikely to support high-intensity…

I live in the south. This is absolutely true that Fox is what these people live and die by. Every restaurant, doctors office, and any other place with a TV will be tuned exclusively to Fox News. Fox has trained them to not trust anyone but Fox. It’s the classic Jim Jones/Scientology tactics of “everyone who isn’t us…

Nixon tried something similar during Watergate. I am not saying that Trump or his people committed treason or a high crime, just that this is the move that a petty dictator who committed treason or a high crime might pull.

The same politicians who themselves have excellent healthcare paid for by the American people ...

The US has a long, sordid history of “rugged individualism” that is mostly bullshit. Politicians appeal to that idea and get people to go against their own best interests so the politicians can funnel money to their buddies instead of building a society.

All the pretty, fit people are exercising and having fun with other pretty, fit people and the one schlubby guy is alone, taking a selfie while sitting on an exercise machine.

The ACA was birthed in 1989 by the conservative Heritage Foundation. The centerpiece of their plan for a better healtcare system? The Individual Mandate. In 2006, Governor Mitt Romney took the Heritage plan and mixed in a healthy dose of the Clinton plan from the early ‘90's (the insurance exchanges being the primary…

Same old story: Selfish, Republican shithead winds up in a situation where they have to actually use the social benefits which they have heretofore spent so much time and effort railing against. Lightbulb turns on over their head and they realize the value of social programs. Lather, rinse, repeat.

An echo you heard, but chose not to consider. Says more about the listener, aye?
