Because somehow, against all scientific understanding, they’re even dumber and more malignant than he is.

Man, I remember when copy editing was an entire job that people could make a living doing. Can we bring that back?

“she was arrested and charged with driving while investigated”

Agreed, with tears in my eyes. The American system of dividing power between three branches of government only means that any and all parties who want to restore the “RIGHT” people’s power (at the total and permanent expense of everyone else’s rights) need to pay closer attention to locating and controlling bottlenecks…

“save the life of a pregnant women whose life is endangered”

Well considering T***p and his base are vying for positions in various political levels in several states, I have a feeling the GQP is just doubling down because they know the cards are stacked in their favor. Don’t believe me, just wait till November and you will see how many states will pack their political houses…

Same here. I don’t want to hang out in a place full of conservatives. Then again, they have the whole sad “own the libs” thing going on; it’s not enough for them to stay in their own space. They have to come here and try to prove something.

I think it may both be exceedingly likely and the Republican strategy to lose some Federal elections this year, but keep the courts. The resulting “Democratic Victory” will expend that energy to little legislative effect, fracturing that coalition and allowing the Republicans to retake power perhaps as soon as 2024. Me…

He’s a senator, so gerrymandering isn't part of the equation. That also explains why he and McConnell are much more focused on suppression. 

Look, you (the press) have to stop with this entire “But the conservatives said!” BS.

Then maybe don’t host such an event at a building that is overseen, maintained, and regularly receives money from THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, you utter pillock*!!?????!??!

this reminds me strongly of my evangelical cousin who once tacitly admitted she had had an abortion and was pretty shaken up by it, which is why she is now pro-life—to make sure no other woman goes through what she went through, which is a noble sentiment, but doesn’t make her any less full of shit LOL. The mothers in…

Honestly, I’m just shocked anyone still invites Pence to parties.

I’m pretty sure they know their only way to win is to get every single Bible-thumper to the polls.

I’m pretty sure they know their only way to win is to get every single Bible-thumper to the polls. This is the kind of thing that gets out the conservative base to vote, which I’m guessing is why they’re doing it...but yeah, hopefully they’re shooting themselves in the foot while they do so. I have my doubts, though. I…

I just want to remind everyone that a bunch of people (probably not a majority with gerrymandering, but still, a bunch of people) keep sending this craven little fraction of a dingus to Congress. 

Eww, he’s a pentacostal? No wonder.

You cannot call yourself a feminist if you are not pro choice. You can make the personal choice not to have an abortion but if you don’t allow women to make that choice for themselves, that’s a problem.

Do you have any close colleagues at The Root? Any that you trust to have a candid conversation about African-American culture? Someone you can ask open questions and receive respectful answers? I ask because I’m always surprised when people are surprised that outwardly/openly religious African Americans sometimes hold…

What do we do to actually teach empathy to people in a better way so that we don’t continue to live in a world led around by a lot of people who don’t give a shit about things unless they personally impact them? People keep trying to talk about ways to flip anti-abortion people and the answer there is “most aren’t…
