She’s a black Muslim Democratic woman. The Republicans couldn’t wait for the very first thing they could twist in order to attack her. The Democrats who joined in were deeply disappointing.

It is now anti-Semitic to point out that massive amounts of Israeli money into American politics has resulted in influence over American policy...

All the welcome that white people deserved from the Native Americans when they got here

“The solution to this is a negotiation between the one person in the country who can sign something into law, the president of the United States, and our Democratic colleagues,” McConnell said Tuesday.

For me personally I’m done with him. Even if the investigation comes back as there being nothing actionable his version of events was so creepy and completely out of touch I just have no respect for him anymore. 

the GOP response

Dennis Leary did a whole song about being an asshole:

Republican critics have claimed Elizabeth Warren was “pocahontas” more than she has claimed she was Native American. She said that her family claimed they had a native american ancestor although it may have been just legend rather than fact. This is as about a real “controversy” as Hillary’s emails. 

I hate to be this person, but would you consider removing the method she used to complete her suicide?

You know what I’ve always found funny about that flag? They literally bastardized the American flag while simultaneously whining about how kneeling NFL players disrespects the flag. The stupidity of these people knows no limits.

When Donald Trump Says Scary Time For Young Men He Means Young White Men

When you become the literal laughing stock of the world there is only one question you should ask yourself:

Even if we take her entire story at face value, it’s still open-and-shut manslaughter. But you can already see where they’re going with this. She was tired. She thought she was in her own apartment. He didn’t listen to her commands. I really do feel that they’re going to treat this as a stand-your-ground issue. Just a…

I suppose that those of us who know that this man is flashing a white power symbol are once again imagining shit.

Just standing here in front of a t-shirt rack making the totally relaxed, default position for my hands that is not at all a message for anything
