“Michigan has come a long way but that doesn’t mean we get to coast now.”

O’Keefe’s work, though dishonest

Exactly this. A serious progressive has to walk around and campaign grassroots in these coal towns like “Look, coal isn’t coming back. Natural gas is cheaper, and coal is environmentally ruinous. But I’m not trying to destroy your town’s economy, I want to revitalize it instead. We are going to reward any company who…

Trump won in large part because of coal country. Those people have been out of work and looking for someone to bring their jobs back. And to Trump’s credit, he’s doing everything he can to pave the way for coal energy to prosper unregulated. But the thing is, it’s just too little too late and thank god for it. I…

Wow, Republicans, it’s almost like this “renewable energy” is going to create a shitload of jobs, and we should have been creating nice fat incentives to develop CO2-free energy sources, especially in all those areas where people with coal mines were worried about losing their coal mining jobs, instead of extending…

Ugh, thank you for this. I have been saying this since the smarmy little weasel ran for the first time.

2016 was also an enormous year for solar energy. The solar industry added a staggering 51,000 jobs just last year, amounting to two percent of all newly created jobs in 2016.

I guess that makes Ivanka a special little snowflake who needs a safe space. And screw Nordstrom for not selling clothes made by a “great person”! -_-

Her clothes are boxy and short-waisted, with weird zippers and gold accents. I’ve come across things and tried them on out of curiosity but they all looked bad on me. There was one dress I liked on the hanger but when I put it on the waist came up two inches below my boobs and then sprang out from there. I looked…

Never doubt Our Orange Overlord’s ability to make any situation worse. Ivanka could have just quietly swallowed this business setback and got on with her life, BUT NO! The triple O has to bitch, and Nordstrom gets to reiterate that sales are the reason for this decision. He is actually humiliating his daughter by his…

Considering that her clothes are hideous, it’s not surprising. Her brand hasn’t really done well previously. She had a store in Soho, which also shut down likely because there really isn’t a market for her tacky clothing.

I love his assertion that her being ‘a great person’ (citation needed) has any bearing on Nordstrom carrying her line. They cut it because it didn’t sell, and Nordstrom is a business, it wouldn’t matter if it was Mother Teresa’s line.

You ever read Anne Rule’s “Green River Running Red”? I knew objectively she had to have a cozy relationship with the police in order to get the access she did, but her cheerleading for the task force, when they screwed up multiple times, and people *died,* along with her dismal of the grassroots awareness group…

Reichert is going down in 2018. He’s neighboring Seattle so he’s surrounded by riled up progressives who are itching to unseat his dumb ass, his district has gone blue in the presidential election for awhile now, and he’s just coasting off of bragging how he caught the Green River Killer

Nah. His incoherence compared to what he used to be like is astounding. Yeah, he’s always been an asshole, but in the past he had been a relatively articulate asshole who could stay on topic and maintained some level of focus. Look at any recent public appearance where he strays from his prepared remarks and his…

He’s always been an asshole, that’s true. But there’s been a noticeable change in the way he speaks over the last 5-10 years. Doesn’t mean dementia, could be a medication side effect, but not a great sign.

Yea, his testimony before Congress was really depressing. There were moments when he couldn’t remember the names of people he had worked closely with for years, and it was obvious that he knew that he should be able to remember. I am no fan of Reagan, but that is always a sad thing to see.

Full disclosure: my mother is going through this. When I hear Trump speak, all I can hear is the same paranoia and misunderstanding of facts combined with the repeating of words and phrases over and over.

This whole page won’t load for me for some reason, but how about how he didn’t realize he permanently appointed Bannon to the NSC? “Oh, well...I don’t know. It all happened very fast, and then the man looked like he was nice, so I bought the timeshare and then...oh my...”

There were stories of Reagan, relating anecdotes on the campaign trail, of his horror at seeing the prisoners at the liberation of Dachau (he spent the war in Hollywood)...as well as other events that were in movies he starred in as actually having happened.
