If the idea is to do it exactly to spec, that involves researching the materials used and the construction, sourcing or re-creating said materials, preserving as much of the original shoe as possible, and (here’s the clincher) hiring the people to dedicate their time to doing so and make it look like it wasn’t a…

Yeah, I can see how this might be jarring during some other comedians’ sets, but Schumer’s comedy is explicitly political and as far as I can tell, always has been. It’s not like somebody who did a “clear eyes, full hearts, don’t rape” skit is surprising you when she starts railing on a presidential candidate who…

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there is an intersection of Amy Schumer fans and Trump voters.

You really should watch the segment. The way he says it will make your skin crawl. It’s almost impressive that he made MOUNTAIN CLIMBING sound gross and rapey.

Mr. WaywardCalicoCat is still determined to vote for Gary Johnson. We have had several frank talks about it, and I am still shocked that someone so intelligent would vote for a dingbat like Johnson.

Exactly! DC has this weird thing where at least one city council seat is reserved for a minority party (in practice not a Democrat). Independents keep winning because neithrr the Greens or Libertarians can mount a credible candidate. They make it hard to take them seriously.

“Grab it by the peak.”

Trump is more like Sarumann

Maybe we address it by showing up for hundreds if not thousands of other elections that take place throughout the country every single year? The ones for positions that actually affect public policy over time much more than Presidents... y’know, the way the far right did for decades until we got into the current…

Advance third parties in down-ticket races. Showing up once every four years to crow about the political process is not enough. If you’re (general you) not active in down-ticket races, then it’s time to ask yourself what your actual motives are in complaining.

“People ask me, gosh, what was it like to conquer Mount Everest? Well I did not conquer Mount Everest. She lifted her skirt and I got in there and got a peek and it was really cool.”

Jill Stein is not the solution to your issues with Clinton. Get involved with local politics.

I’ve been wondering about that. Can the party make a clean break between the bigoted based and the fiscally conservative patrician wing? I’m skeptical, but let’s pretend they can. I think it would take a couple of election cycles (maybe 4 years?) and strong PR messaging for those two new parties (let’s call them…

There are a zillion good reasons why neither one of these people should be president, but it’s not gonna work on anyone who wants to say shit like “I live in a solidly blue state, so I have the luxury of voting with my conscience and choosing the candidate I think is best fit for the job, and that’s Dr. Stein.”

I have smelled Hillary Clinton and she smells fantastic. No sulphur. She smelled of flowers, mostly violets.

I’m getting so stressed out because what is the solution to this? Conspiracy theories like this are protected under free speech but at some point it has to escalate into yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater territory, doesn’t it? But how would any form of attempting to remove these people from the public eye do…

If this was an actual attack, it is terrible, and they should have went high as the repubs went low, like the First Lady & Hillary have said.

I guess they spray painted that on a balloon store next door. Balloons only exist to make people happy! Whoever did this is both a dangerous criminal and a regular asshole.

No. I was just sitting here telling my husband “FALSE FLAG FALSE FLAG.” It seems completely out of character but who knows? Maybe some Dems got pushed too far. Regardless, it’s reprehensible and I’m glad no one was hurt.
