When they envision themselves winning Powerball, they don’t think of Bill Gates, living a reasonably modest life and helping the needy - they think of Trump. Marbled floor, golden toilet, stretch limo. 

They need to keep at it, even if they don’t win big next month. Constant dripping wears away a stone. It’s what the Republicans have been doing for the last fifty years.

If they ever film a remake of Good Will Hunting, Bari will play this part:

These two can teach a master class as well.

She’s no Christopher Lambert.

God damnit, I just had the same comment typed out and ready to send.

Every time I read one of these stories, I’ve made it a habit to donate five bucks to Planned Parenthood.

The last Democrat who understood that was Howard Dean. The current leadership never did and never will, which is why the likes of Schumer, Pelosi and Perez will have to be retired sooner or later, if the party wants to get back in the game in those flyover states they need to win for a Senate majority. 70% of the…

Just like it took a Churchill (mean old drunk and imperialist) to fight a Hitler, it takes the likes of Avenatti to fight Trump. Tepid operators like Schumer and Perez aren’t going to cut it.

Wouldn’t “Waterloo” be the more appropriate ABBA song here?

It’s easier to get people to storm beaches than to get them to the voting booth. “Strange” indeed, but that’s America for you.

These shows seem quaint compared to real life these days.

Charles Darwin should have never taken him along when he explored the South Seas.

1944:
“There is no chance in the world they’re going to scare us out of doing our duty!”

1946:
“I was only following orders!”

I still have yet to hear a convincing explanation why universal public health care should be unachievable in the United States, given that every single other developed nation has solved this issue already, sometimes generations ago.

They wallow in their own ignorance as much as Trump does. They’re proud of it. Trump is their perfect avatar, precisely because his gilded upbringing enabled him to get the best education possible - and he actively chose not to use those opportunities.

If a role doesn’t require Christian Bale to get ridiculously thin, ridiculously fat, or ridiculously buff, he’s not even considering taking that role!

An interesting unrelated note: In the British original House of Cards, the main protagonist is a member of the Tories, the conservative party. While the American version in its first season kept the characters, character traits and plots, Frank Underwood is not, as should be expected, a member of the Republican…
