You mean this is the Nancy who’s been in power in the House for a year and a half and is just now waking the fuck up that maybe the president is an idiot that needs to be stopped? The Nancy who had to be coaxed into enforcing the laws that he’s been breaking for two and a half years, and only because the moderates in…

I forget where I read it, maybe TPM, maybe Reuters, but I guess the meltdown came after Pelosi said something like “It always comes back to Russia with you”. I mean, it’s so fucking obvious that he’s just checking items off of Vova’s Xmas wishlist, right down to vacating a US military base in Syria but leaving all the…

The Nancy Pelosi who is a corporatist and who I would much rather see replaced with someone who is younger, has more progressive ideas and specifically isn’t a corporatist?

...and I see y’all are back to hero worshiping Nancy Pelosi, you really need to be checking into the boards because, arguably, it was her passiveness in doing something about the Trump menace that has played a part in all of this.

None for me; I’d already been thoroughly desensitized by Unsolved Mysteries.  

Thank you for this, Stassa. I made a similar comment under a story a few days ago, and I watched the 60 minutes segment last night. I had a similar reaction. I was uncomfortable with the framing of both the Texas Ranger and of Little. When he spoke in the interviews, it’s clear he’s not a genius, nor did he come…

I agree there’s good reason for him to drop out, but I want Bernie to stick around a little while longer, just so there’s another progressive voice on stage at the debate(s). It’s just him and Warren, a bunch of centrists and Yang. He knows he’s not going to win, he knows that we know he’ll eventually throw his…

Well, I tried, but it seems that the ability to create new group blogs is no longer a feature on Kinja.

I just learned that Splinter is officially dead a few minutes ago.

I’m normally one for over-long prose, but I just want to say this, and then I shall shuffle off to gaze at my navel in other fields:

Some of the writers around here are among the sharpest, most incisive folks I’ve had the privilege of reading. There’s…

You’re absolutely correct. Thanks. She just made me feel like crap; she didn’t say it in a nice way. It was backhanded. Plus we work in a male dominated industry and it’s hard enough out here!

Weight is a street term referring to selling drugs in large quantities. In other words, he wasn't selling dime bags or zips (ounces), he was selling by the pound. 

“Enough men have done enough vile, abusive things that fall short of outright sexual crime that we need a way to figure out if they can seek, and gain, redemption and continue to contribute to society,

It seems like we’re entering sort of a golden age of transparency and dissemination of a lot of the seedy shit that’s been going on behind the scenes forever, which I think is a great thing. The next step is actually holding some of these fuckers accountable.

I’m two decades older than your son and me having the skill to break a guys nose is depressing. The fact I’ve broken some noses to protect myself is depressing and sad.

allegedly after a student complained that they were targeted by the note.

There were no names on those notes. And yet...some male “felt bullied.” And the school suspended her.

Regan, Rove, Bush Sr, Rumfeld, and Cheney. They’ve been behind the scenes AND working together since the 1960s.

The only reason to bring that up is for the express purpose of nagging everyone she’s guilty of the mortal sin of not being Bernie.

I’m just gonna come out and say it, Elizabeth Warren’s problem is having the audacity of being a woman. That’s it, that’s really it.

They’re on lockdown trying to get the story straight. For the past two weeks, every time someone defends him he literally reverses it within hours. They say, “well he didn’t do that” then he confesses to doing exactly that later on.
