Texas is what happens when you shut down PP. Kansas is what happens when you cut taxes for the rich. Wisconsin is what happens when you cut education. The Great Lakes and Flint, MI are what to expect when you kill the EPA.

Why do we continue to act surprised that our government clearly doesn’t have our best interests…

Truly. I work with families and newborns and there is nothing more devastating and hard to reconcile as the loss of life before it really starts. Those parents never, ever get over it.

Then you haven’t read my fanfic.

That Kushner headline is a mess. It’s also making me really glad I’m not famous because I hang out one-on-one with my husband’s friends all the time (spoiler alert: they’re also my good friends). I can’t imagine crashing on one of their couches or doing car work with them and then seeing the Daily Mail write a…

John Goodman is a lot more flexible than I’d expected he’d be.

I had a crush on Dan Conner in middle school and high school but I never told any of my friends because I thought they would make fun of me. Screw those snobby little bitches...I have fantastic taste.

That, too. It’ll validate their ideas of that favorite boogeyman, “EVIL MAINSTREAM MEDIA”, being out to get their candidate, making it even easier to shout “Fake news!” about whatever they don’t like.

Liberals keep dreaming of this magic bullet, this shocking revelation that will spur protective governmental action that’s going to somehow make it all better. They still think Trump is an aberration instead of the natural result of our system and the way both parties have developed over the last several decades, and…

It also helps fuel the narrative of “the corrupt media looking for a ratings grab” because... well, why the fuck else would you hype up something so ultimately trivial by talking for 20 minutes about the importance of knowing the information THAT YOU DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE AT ALL

Exactly this. I just keep thinking, “Now his supporters get to say that he pays his taxes.” I feel like it did way more harm than good.

I hope the short-term ratings boost was worth it, Rachel =\

When I can’t use a coupon I brought to the store, I tuck it into the shelf in case someone else comes by who can use it. I call myself the Coupon Fairy.

I like to think I’d do the same thing with hundred-dollar bills, but let’s be real. Someone else would be doing my grocery shopping.

I’d tell you what I’d be moving up from the store brand mustard.

In one month he brought the unemployment rate down from 40% (!) to 4.7%. God let him celebrate.

YOUR POLICIES DID NOT CREATE THOSE JOBS YOU FUCK WIT!

This is America. Of course it won’t.
