“Sit bones” can be located above the lounge bones and to left of the daydreaming ones.

No. Way worse. Don’t get me wrong: Nixon authorized criminal activities while president and was truly a huge dick, but even he maintained the veneer of civility and the rule of law until right at the end, when he completely lost it. Trump is “Nixon wandering drunk in the White House, talking to paintings” right out of…

No no no no no no. Not at ALL. I was in college, so I remember well. It wasn’t this scary. I wasn’t this unsettled after 9/11 happened. Our government was stable and things were going along according to protocol (Patriot Act was an obvious low point as well as the Iraq War). Yes, there was Darth Cheney and W was…

Tonight when I heard this news, my mind immediately went to the Saturday Night Massacre. But things generally happened at a much slower pace back. It was more of a drawn out ordeal. It’s interesting to note that it was the Saturday Night Massacre that really spurred the calls for Nixon’s impeachment.

Old Kinja-ers - Is this what the late 60s and early 70s felt like?

The GOP is like the news stories in which “Man Kills Wife, Children, Self” because EVERYTHING IS THEM and EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THEM. There is absolutely no difference in their petty male (sorry, mostly) minds between what is good for them and what is good for the country. They believe they ARE the country. The rest…

Brown’s offensive reference to the wrong ethnic origin goes nicely with Ansari’s joke about people telling him to “go back to...the country you’re from!”. His follow up is that the racists tend to not be geography buffs.

“Chris Brown further proves point.”

Aziz’s bit about G.W. Bush in his opening monologue cracked me up. “What the hell has happened? I’m sitting here wistfully watching old George W. Bush speeches? Just sitting there- ‘What a leader he was!’ 16 years ago I was certain this dude was a dildo, now I’m sitting there like ‘He guided us with his eloquence!’”

Knope 2020!

If Amy Poehler and/or Tina Fey show up, I’m going to lose my shit. Especially if it’s Amy Poehler dressed like Leslie Knope.

First time commenter here- I’m going to the Nashville march and was wondering if anybody from Jez will be there?

I couldn’t afford to to, I wanted to go but I barely make enough to get by. I wish I could be there with you!

Hillary Clinton represents us all today. What woman hasn’t had the experience of celebrating  the man who got the promotion/job she was infinitely more qualified for?

I’m really kind of amazed by the relationship with Cuba and Iran on the foreign policy front, particularly with the former. These are things I think folks still thought of as being years in the future.

You inspired me to find this. Thank you. 🌸

The Obamas will say their farewells to the White House staff at 8:30 A.M Friday morning and will depart shortly thereafter. At 11:30 A.M., we will usher in a new era of...something.

Though I suspect we all feel like this

In case anyone doesn’t know, a big part of the reason why Obama has granted so much more clemency than previous presidents is because he is effectively making the Fair Sentencing Act retroactive. The Fair Sentencing Act reduced the crack/cocaine sentencing disparity that had been widely criticized as racially biased.…

On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…
