I have nothing to add except the most horrific single case of abuse that I ever heard about from someone who lived it was from a Russian woman I worked with for a time last year. She ended up cutting off all contact with her family and I remember thinking that a) she was a badass for surviving and 2) I would have…

My dad started working in marketing right at the tail end of the Mad Men era. He told me that during his first week they went to lunch and had a martini while waiting, wine with lunch, and brandy for dessert. He said, “I knew why Don Draper took naps at work.”

Aimee, is drinking at work okay now? Because it’s 12:30 and I’m thinking that a good old-fashioned martini lunch would be kind of awesome.

This is a great step forward for humankind. Way to lead the way, Russia.

Rahm Emanuel is a terrible mayor, but he’s right when he says Dems are losing b/c they care more about being right than winning. E.g. when they go low, we go high. The campaign against Trump should have been vicious and constantl focused on what a failure he is.

Mostly disorganization. The left is SO divided. Why does the Green Party exist, when supposedly the Democrats care for the environment? Many, if not most, independents share values with the Democrats but don’t vote for them because the Dems are often as complicit in this countries problems as the Republicans.

as soon as you separate your party from Whacked out wig bats. I’ts hard to take you seriously with all this ridiculousness going on.

Well, now you’ve highlighted a completely different issue in this country. The extreme political divide that makes cooperation and compromise literally impossible. Just because an (R) championed something (that never went anywhere) doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good idea and desperately needed.

Because your side isn’t really on your side? Do you really think all those big (D) politicians are actually championing the causes of progressivism?

Or Tibet! Charles is a big advocate of Tibetan rights and didn’t attend a dinner with the Chinese president as a protest. Trump’s mind would be blown by the idea of someone investing time and energy into advocating for the “little guy.” Perhaps it would cause a spontaneous combustion? (We can dream?) http://time.com/40…

Legit nuts. My mother is freaking out about the homeowners association.

The Queen ought to send Charles to receive him. The Prince of Wales, being himself, almost immediately would start lecturing Trump on climate change. Trump would throw a tantrum.

It’s not helpful if taken literally, no. But if taken as intended: as a joke, as some levity inserted into a situation to make you stop feeling sorry for yourself, laugh a little, and keep going, then maybe it might be a little helpful.

Trump is the living embodiment of “ The Americans “ episode of ”Fawlty Towers “ writ large. We, the American people are , ironically, Manuel. Trump keeps screaming for his goddamn Waldorf Salad that nobody, much like Basil Fawlty knows how to make.

Short answer? There are huge swaths of our country that just. are. THAT. stupid.

In the US in particular, the Constitution is, at bottom, a document designed to give a few slaveholders as much political power as all the people in all the cities in the Union. Since Republicans have taken over as the racist rural party, the Constitution works for them. Throughout the 20th century, when a large chunk…

Because our side generally tells the truth and the truth isn’t easy or pretty or simple. The world economy has changed. Well paying industry jobs for people with a high school diploma are not coming back. Climate change is happening. We need to reduce our reliance of fossil fuels even if it’s going to cost us jobs at…

Can somebody please tell me why our side keeps losing? I’m getting sick-and-fucking-tired of it. Brexit. Trump. Italian referendum. Super Bowl (i.e., Trump again).
