Something about how Podesta is the guy that is standing in the way of him Draining the swamp, and since he won’t do it, Trump can’t, and that’s why his campaign promises are unfulfilled, cause other people won’t let him? I’m at a complete loss. I’m pretty sure he lives in a world where he didn’t actually win the…

As Ta-Nehasi Coates was reminding people on twitter: 3/5s of a person was already a compromise. Missouri was a compromise. Lincoln’s election platform was a compromise. The road to the civil war was paved in compromises that never managed to be enough for the slaveholders of the south.

Yeah, that’s the only reason I could possibly think of. I was thinking “why wouldn’t he just kill himself” but you’re right - he wanted to go for as long as he could before they took him down. I will say this - I am proud of the NYPD for taking him out of play but not killing him so at the very least we can pump him…

To be fair, a teacher who enjoys bringing science to young kids is the scariest thing Betsy could imagine.

I think everything this administration is straight-up trolling at this point.

“Slavery is only terrible by TODAY’S standards! You can’t judge it by modern morality, because nobody felt as though there was anything wrong with it back then.”

I’m guessing that, you know, the millions of SLAVES probably didn’t think it was hunky-dory, even back then.

“Oh, you have tiny hands! I like so much when man have so tiny hands! Is sexy!”

I think it makes sense. Of course she identifies with an educator who puts her students in danger and doesn’t actually teach them all that much.

What is she seeing?

T-Rex: I moved on her, actually. You know, she was down on the White House lawn. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it.

OMG I missed that how fucking dare she

Classy

NO. Betsy DeVos DOES NOT get to be Ms. Frizzle!!!!

John Oliver put it nicely last night. “Alabama: the south’s ‘the south.’”

Why a warrant now, 9 months after the alleged narcotics?

First and foremost, let me just say fuck Roy Moore. For real. He is a truly terrible piece of fucking garbage. But he’s absolutely about to be elected to the US Senate from Alabama.

At first I thought your headline here was paraphrasing his subtext, but nope, that’s what he said! They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

From what I’ve seen, the high estimate for Ryan’s personal net worth is only around $7.9 million. Which is a hell of a lot, of course, and puts him squarely in the top 1% of Americans. But it’s not, like, “21st century wealthy”. So I have to assume rather than just trying to enrich himself with this “tax reform” shell…

Wait... What? The company can charge $100 an hour, take a cut of $25 an hour — 25% of the wage — still pay their taxes and make bank.

Yeah, $33-$35 an hour at median seems fair, and I’m all for paying the people who are heading away from their families and into VERY dangerous territory to restore power to an utterly demolished area as much as $100 hourly, which would basically be the overtime rate + hazard pay.
