I do understand that. But it’s not how this whole system is designed - we humans are not fundamentally altruistic animals, we will always fight for our own interests. It’s a wonderful idea to think that the world could transform overnight but the cold reality is that change is slow, ponderous and painful. Hillary is…

Right, I understand that. I guess the issue is that they are defining ‘establishment’ differently and both hoping their definition will stick.

True - her show’s writing team knows how to distill her acerbic point of view into a cohesive comedy bits. The sketches are usually larger commentaries on pop culture or society but her stand-up is JUST about her and that gets dull pretty quick because she’s not that interesting now that she is rich and famous.

Hillary is just stating the simple fact that a 25 year congress person raging against the machine is rather hypocritical. She’s not denying that she is a politician...she’s saying that she and Bernie are obviously part of the same political system.

Gadzooks, why would anyone claim credit for the disaster that was her Apollo appearance? That was a lazy, boring, repetitive set and I was super disappointed by it. Frankly, I’d prefer to think she stole those shitty jokes! Sadly, I think she’s just come to rely on her predictable self-effacing-body-bashing humor…

he was actually very sweet about his relationship in his Madison Square Garden/HBO special - the end credits had a special dedication and he devoted a quarter of the set to talking about how much he loved her. Oh well, so it goes.

You’re so right; the idea of anyone scrutinizing me at 19 makes my insides cringe! And they didn’t do anything worse than most kids do in college, at least not to my recollection.

awesome - so good to hear. thank you!

I’m rooting for you, my friend!

Just curious - did it hurt to get your Mirena out? My gyno said it would be a snap but I haven’t heard any first hand accounts.

Guys, it’s fine, this was approved by Toddler Ted Cruz

if you lived in Iowa you would not be on drugs, plural...you’d be on meth, singular.

That is actually really interesting...do you think someone could use the soft cup as contraception? Like, is it a tight enough seal to keep the spermies at bay?

I came down to the comments to mention that because it’s not stated in the article.

Me too! My baby sister is 15 so Barack is the only president she’s ever really known. We watched the Obama’s come out on stage that first night and she was so excited that Sasha and Malia looked like her! And they were so brave!

Threatening suicide (especially violent suicide) is one of the most cruelly manipulative, controlling things you can do to someone who loves you. It is horrifyingly abusive and is recognized as a form of domestic violence: http://www.thehotline.org/2014/08/when-y….

I know he’s not running anymore but can we cast Lindsey Graham as Galadriel? Can’t you just hear this speech in his molasses drawl:

This is a simplistic look at her record, cherry picking for things you disagree with and it implies that these decisions were not nuanced or complicated. Foreign policy is not black and white - there’s always a balance of what a politician can oppose on moral grounds vs. what they must support for political reasons.…
