Too late to edit, but I should have said New York, not The New Yorker!!

I know ~ totally my mistake. I meant to say New York but my brain farted and I said The New Yorker. So not the same thing!!

My younger brother is intellectually disabled and he has been called “retard” by bullies. I am his caregiver. I will be his caregiver for his entire life. I’m not just being sensitive for the sake of being sensitive. I’m not being “politically correct”. The wording you are using is hurtful to real people.

His popularity? You mean going from being less popular than an STD to being the least popular president-elect since records have been taken of this?

Yeah. She wasn’t “brilliant” when she was telling small-time yokels that “legitimate rape” was a real thing. She’s only brilliant because fascism is having a moment right now.

I do not think she is brilliant. She is not even good at lying.

I don’t agree that she’s brilliant. She’s a hell of a lot cleverer than a lot of people on the left give her credit for, but when you’ve seen her in action a couple of times the moves are pretty obvious.

I stand in favor of Jake Tapper wearing whatever he chooses, though something flame-retardant might be the better part of valor.

I read an excerpt the other day about how Robert Mercer is in favor of using nukes and legitimately believes that radiation from Hiroshima and Nagasaki is why the Japanese are so healthy.

I don’t feel like she actually gets away with anything. Like, she hasn’t played some brilliant trick and somehow slipped past the fact-checkers. She simply has no shame about lying. Same with Trump. They’ve just realized that the fact-checkers don’t matter, that there are no political consequences for blatant lying,…

“Knowing what one is doing” != “being brilliant.” I mean, I get what you’re trying to say here, but if someone calls you stupid, telling them that you know what you’re doing is a non-sequitur.

I mean, I’m not sure her ability to ‘get away with it’ is down to any sort of talent. She can lie blatantly and keep her job because Trump supporters literally don’t believe in facts anymore and will accept any sort of behaviour as long as it pisses off libtards. She’s certainly an opportunist in the right place at…

The “They are a nice person” thing needs to die a firey death. I am so sick of people who lie, cheat, steal, and try to undermine American democracy getting the “they are nice when you meet them” line (Sean Spicer and Jeff Sessions seem to get this a lot). Like, yea, most people attempt to be at least somewhat…

Do you need to go all Ann Coulter and call people you don’t like “retards”?

Plenty of women outside Quiverfull internalize the idea “If I am good enough, he will change.” and pay for it in abuse. Not to downplay the many extra levels of mindfuckery that happen in those movements, but it isn’t unique.

Her own money? That is all his money. He acquired it when he acquired her.

Anybody that tells me cutting a program that keeps me alive by 25% and handing that money over to 1% is somehow for my benefit can eat a bag of shit covered rotting dicks.

Not propaganda, “team building newsletters” that just happen to feature the Secretary prominently...or solely.

“it will improve healthcare for all* Americans.”

“People are scared. People worried,” the source continued. “People are unsure about what’s going to happen next.”
