He is continually the kid who didn’t read the book and it’s book report day.

I get it. I see where you’re coming from. I really do. But I just fear that the potential consequences outweigh any benefit this action may provide.

President Obama went to congress and asked them to authorize a military action in Syria as a response to the attack. You know... like the Constitution says he should. And congress DENIED that request. Why?

It was interesting to see the anchors on the Today Show this morning talking to Tom Brokaw and Nicole Wallace, and all of them saying some variation of, “this President was praising Assad just weeks ago. It would appear he’s a product of the last person he spoke to.” And one of them noted, nobody at the White House…

YESYESYES! Yes to this article, yes to this comment, yes! People can’t just protest and then whine when ish doesn’t change. You have to RUN and you have to VOTE!!! There is a reason why the blackest state in the US (Mississippi) is a GOP stronghold. It’s not ALL voter suppression. People just don’t vote. . . and that…

People voting against their own interests should not be surprising. If well off liberals do it, why should we be shocked that poor conservatives do it as well? Granted one group is doing it for the collective good and the other to royally fuck people who aren’t like them, but still. We need to get past this point of…

The problem is those people being displaced by new tech don’t want to be retrained. Even if you paid them their current salary to go learn how to maintain and install wind turbines, they would refuse. It isn’t just a disruption of their job, its a disruption on their way of life.

They don’t want to move to the city.…

Yup. And then the Senate held confirmation hearings for Gorsuch. Filibustering a nomination after hearings have been held in an attempt to shoot down a nominee and force Trump to put forward a different nominee, or even voting against Gorsuch when it comes time to vote =/= refusal to hold a hearing for Merrick Garland.

Far-right conservatives cannot be appealed to with logic or reason because far-right constituents cannot be appealed to with logic or reason. If their constituents would look at their elected officials’ views and voting records and say, “Hey, now. This isn’t good for any American citizen!” and vote accordingly,…

This is part of a larger fallacy that reactionary conservatives can be fisked or fact-checked into submission or into showing the slightest bit of contrition, shame, or willingness to improve their reasoning. They can only be quarantined and hopefully outnumbered in swing states.

What were the consequences if you didn’t? That’s the part you may not remember, but which is part of every solid parenting strategy. It may not be something you consider a “trick,” but getting a 6-year-old to remember to do something every single day without being reminded constantly or screwing up constantly…

“Steve Bannon is what stupid people think smart people sound like.”

Steve Bannon is what stupid people think smart people sound like. He shares this trait with Newt Gingrich. His “academic” credentials are as follows: A degree from Virginia Tech in 1974. While Tech is a fine school nowadays, it was a “you have a heart beat” school then. That status was supplanted by schools like…

Steve Bannon is not uneducated. It defies belief that someone who understands Wall Street and capitalism

Well Blue States could also try to remove the 438 representative limit. Right now the more populous states are underrepresented in the House. Liberals would probably have control of it otherwise. Also, if you’re really social justice, we could try and make gerrymandering illegal since it’s the worst thing our…

I remember the recession. Many of the people who got out of high school just before and around thoughs years missed alot of valuble experience and still struggle to even find work, let alone afford a place to live or put food in the fridge as a result.

I’m going to take it a bit further.

We keep trying to be polite, but people just aren’t getting the message. Somebody needs to just come out and say “You guys are getting buttfucked. I know you think Trump is a cool guy, and I’m sure you’ve had a few quality laughs at his rants. Good times. Anyway, he’s a con man and you aren’t his friend. You’re his…
