I started saying that I’m pro-abortion a few years ago in response to the oft-tauted “we’re not pro-abortion, we just believe in giving people the choice”.

Agreed. 

It’s not “curious” that Warren won’t say middle class taxes will be raised, because middle class expenses will go down significantly (no out-of-pocket medical expenses). Yet the minute she says taxes will be raised, even within the context of the point, the GOP will pounce on the line and use it in every attack ad…

I remember seeing one of those pretzel-logic arguments some aggrieved white person (I say as a white person) came up with to argue for circumstances where a white person could say the n-word, and their scenario was, “Well, what if it’s some dying little kid, and the Make-A-Wish people ask him what he wants, and he…

Yeah, I just posted about that! Did someone grab his phone to make a desperate plea for help?

Compliance with congressional subpoenas is not optional for private citizens Gouliani. I predict this going just as well for him as it did Chelsea Manning. 

For lifeguard I would specify that it’s at a pool, not the ocean. I spent two summers as a lifeguard at the big pool at the state park near where I grew up, and if money and benefits were no object, it was the best job I’ve ever had. Being a lifeguard at the beach is a whole different ballgame, though, due to rip…

It’s an hour long show that should be an hour and ten but somehow clocks at two and change.

This was a very short rollercoaster. Two seconds of “yay, Sarah Silverman” followed directly by three seconds of “oh, Judd Apatow, never mind”.

Nicotine itself doesn’t cause cancer, it’s not even listed as possibly carcinogenic. It, at worst, has negligible health effects (and even some positives when it comes to Parkinson and alzheimer’s). It’s all the other shit in traditional cigarettes that can cause cancer. The other shit in vape juice is unknown if it…

A lot of people just really projected on Walter as an aspirational figure, so they took it as some sort of betrayal when he ended up dying with no one to mourn him.

Cillizza is functionally unable to view politics as something that has an impact on real people. For him, observing politics is like watching a chess match, in which is assessing the strategies being played out is the sum total of what is interesting to analyze, you never have to worry about the impact on the pieces…

Agreed. If Ellen can somehow internally reconcile her own positions with being Bush Jr’s friend, that’s for her to decide, and this tribalistic push toward “IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH US, YOU ARE HUMAN GARBAGE” does no one any good.

-HARD- agree on the second part of your statement, though. Opinions are equal only in…

I could care less about who Ellen DeGeneres chooses to hang out with, but this bullshit “all opinions are equally valid” crap has got to stop. It isn’t a difference of political opinion that has the country divided, it’s an issue of values, and the values the GOP has chosen to endorse are atrocious and not something…

*offer not valid in Philadelphia

OK, I am an idiot.

You’re making a mistake about 45. You are assuming he can, in any way, shape, or form, identify with anything outside himself. His definition of Treason can only mean personal betrayal of himself. Literally. This is how this man thinks. He does not care or even register the legal or constitutional definitions of such…

Short-fingered vulgarian.

I’m reading this in the AM,without my contacts,and I read this:

Iran has never directly attacked the US.
