So, I see a lot of your respondees assume — wrongly — that we’re all war-mongering psychopaths that want blood and guts and veins in our teeth. That is not entirely the case. We put up with it because we have to, because we live in a nation where the civilians elect the leadership, and therefore have control over us.…

As someone who I presume doesn’t watn to be treated differently...this is a dumb, pointless take.

Anyone who draws major conclusions about people on the spectrum by the pin their cause chose isn’t the kind of person who is going to give a shit anyway.

I think one of the biggest failings of politicians over the last generation has been to allow “government” to become such a bad word. On a fundamental level, government is simply a way of distributing our collective resources. To constantly depict “government” as a problematic monster that must be stopped is a…

Michael Tracey has hitched his career on being the person “making the case for Trump” from the left so the Pepe crowd can use him to troll.

Conspiracy theories aside, when/why did these D.C. people come to demonize socialism so much? 

Conspiracy theories aside, when/why did these D.C. people come to demonize socialism so much? Do they not recognize that we have a socialized postal service, socialized schools, socialized roads, parks, etc.? It’s hard to understand the circumstances by which that became such a bad word.

Pretty much all my relationships have ended with an “Imagine a sane version of so-and-so,” but in the real world we have to admit that that’s not the choice on offer, and we move on regardless, instead of doubling down and hoping the sanity comes later.

Whether or not the sole beneficiaries of your redistribution are white people

“I’m out,” Chaffetz told Utah’s Fox 13 News in response to Trump’s comments. “I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine.”

I went to a catholic high school in the suburbs of New Orleans, and as part of our junior year “morality” religion course, we went on a sort of field trip to Angola. Looking past how obviously strange that is to stay on point, we were actually shown the death row “camp” (if i remember correctly that was the term for…

This argument always sits very poorly with me. As a society I believe we want to live up to the best of humanity. Treating another human in such a poor way is showing our basest selves. I know that not everyone will agree with me, but the role of prison should always be reclamation. It might always be possible. But if…

I know there’s a lot of people out there who think that this is okay, because whatever these people did to land on death row excuses however the state wishes to treat them, but fuck those assholes. This makes us barely any better than the countries we’ve invaded to topple people labeled as evil dictators.

Can you imagine if a Muslim politician said “I can’t be alone with another woman because of my religion”? Hell, imagine if Obama said it. White people would scream “SHARIA LAW!!!” and burn this country to the ground.

One time I had dinner alone with a woman with whom I had no intention of cavorting, but alas, the crab rangoon proved too stimulating, and we found ourselves rogering right there on the floor of the Asian Express Diner. Now I have a second wife - though she does not know about my first wife, nor my first about her -…

This was just their underhanded way of saying that a woman has no place in business, or any other non-sexual but purely business context.

I get where he’s coming from. Some crazy stuff can happen at restaurants. For instance one time I went to this pizza place in DC....

Let’s not forget a lot of these dudes presume (ala Todd Akin) that women run around yelling “RAPE” to try to advantage themselves. George Will literally wrote a column (in the friggin WASHINGTON POST!!) claiming this. I think these guys think gender separation is the only way to prevent sexual accusations that, in…

I don’t care what you assholes say. Karen Pence was amazing in the Harry Potter films.

I’m sure everyone will just make fun of Pence but there’s more truth here than you might think. I told my girlfriend she couldn’t ever have dinner at a restaurant with another man or even talk to one outside of work and what ended up happening? She left me for someone else so, you know, pretty clearly I was on to…

Ephesians 5:14: If a wife-object disobeyeth her husband and master at an Applebee’s, he may commandeereth both of the appetizers, entrees, and deserts, because it was his $20 anyway, in all probability.
