The New York Times will never stop carrying water for establishment Republicans and bow to the God of both-sideism and false equivalency. That’d be...uncivil. It’s a publication that is, and always has been, about the maintenance of the status quo, regardless of how fascist these formerly “conservative” politicians

Australia’s national health care system first introduced the vaccination program in 2007 as a cost-free

Nurturing common decency in people is generational work. Keeping them away from political power is a start, but it’s not enough. Massive investment in education, the sciences, arts and humanities will have to be made.

Except now they run the country, and you can’t just storm a beach, or bomb a city to fight them.

Curb your enthusiasm!

He should only be referred to as “Yeti pubes” by media outlets from now on.

Being a loyal Republican can make or break your career in the FBI. It’s why Jim Comey tried to cover his ass by going after Clinton eleven days before the election, while staying quiet about the investigation into Trump that was ongoing at the same time.

Speaking of needy black hole, Trump operates much like that artificial black hole in the 90ies sci-fi horror flick Event Horizon. Anyone touched by it/him is sucked into the hell dimension and comes out all wrong and messed up.

The Republicans are great at theatrics and suck at government.
The Democrats are great at government and suck at theatrics.

There’s a cost to not going after these men when they’re less powerful. Like with a rat or termite infestation - the longer you wait to call the exterminator, the worse it gets. Eventually you’ll have to tear down the whole house to get rid of them.

These are exactly the kind of people that desperately need a tax cut.

Being a Republican these days means pretending you’re living in a neverending 1980ies Schwarzenegger movie.

I wonder how much of Graham’s recent rhetoric is really driven by his repressed homosexuality and obvious submissiveness to more powerful alpha men? Now that his protector McCain is dead, he’s getting needy for a new big man to cuddle up to. All of his recent actions read like a job application with Donald Trump.

Neither Trump, nor Kavanaugh, consider what they did to woman after woman after woman a crime.

America’s foundation is slavery, genocide and defending the moneyed interests of white land and capital owners. To maintain that power structere, the constitution was written, and that is why it can never be reformed as long as the people who benefit from it are the people whose support would be needed for such a

You know the old saying:

Allen is one of these horse race journalists for whom politics is nothing but a game - and that’s pretty much the principle of Axios.

Any atheist who isn’t threatened by cultural relativism will naturally come down harder on Islam than on other religions.

I don’t see what is to be gained by enabling terrible people to spout more bullshit, and thus normalizing them as an acceptable partner of conversation and accepted members of polite society. That just moves the Overton window further and further to the right.
