The press isn’t really doing much about any of this. At this stage, every single question from every single reporter should be, “If you claimed X is true, please provide evidence that supports that”. This should be on repeat for every single reporter in the White House press pool. They have to call them out on their…

This shit is so dangerous. It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is…

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THE PRESS IS NOT FOLLOWING UP WITH THE MOST OBVIOUS QUESTION:

...Wait, he actually framed a photo of the women’s march, thinking it was his inauguration?

She has the wrong skin color for a harsher sentence.

Showed the WaPo article to a friend, she made the mistake of going into the comments and quickly found these two near the top. Spectacular.

My family belonged to (and I’m a casual at) one of the few remaining great unions in this country. And I’m absolutely shocked at the number of conservative (and therefor, imo) anti-labor, anti-union members in the local, enjoying the high wages and incredible benefits and (relatively) safe conditions that the members…

A friend’s husband is out of a job come summer, and most of the people he works/ed with are huge Trump supporters, until they realized they were out of a job and now they’re all wishing they’d voted for Clinton. Can’t say I didn’t tell you all, because I mother fucking did and so did literally millions and millions of…

The best news I heard all day! I feel awfully negative nowadays.

YUP. My best friend’s younger brother was a rabid Bernie-bro who was so angry at the dnc leak that he voted for Trump. Somehow he’s embraced Trump as a good leader (which makes zero sense if he ever really believed in Bernie’s platform). Guess who just applied for SEVERAL federal jobs?

That’s usually why I saw cops, waiting for the show AFTER it to come on. That scenario sounds like just about every episode: calm guy says he wasn’t doing anything, gets thrown to the ground by two cops and then handcuffed while other cops scream at him. I don’t recall any of the cops actually being in danger in any…

This is my only joy lately, knowing that those Good Salt of the Earth Everymen who voted for this rancid orange barnacle will soon be well and truly fucked as a result of their actions. Of course, we all will be to a certain degree. Just let me have this schadenfreude for a moment longer.

My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…

Looking for an excuse. It’s just always easier to blame other people when you sell out or got played, it removes any of that pesky personal accountability for your actions or words

Came here to say this. That’s... quite a trajectory. A distillation, really. Take anything that was coherent and sensical about Goldwater, boil it away, and you’re reduced to Reagan. Take that and spin it down, and you’ve got a hard lump of stupid named George W. Bush. Take that and burn it in a crucible, and you’ve…

I keep seeing different self important declarations like these about how someone assuming the person supports Trump was the last straw to push that person over to support him. What they are really saying is they know it’s socially reprehensible to go along with some of the more extreme ideals and are looking for an…

I think you maybe missed the point of her op-ed which was, succinctly, that she has chosen to embrace an ignorant, self-obsessed charlatan of a political figure because someone threw an egg at her once.

It seems hypocritical to keep referring to it as an egg and not a chicken.

You don’t even need to do anything. They can literally just make it up and say you did resist arrest. Its the most BS charge in the book. My personal favorite is when they charge someone for resisting arrest but nothing else. Like, why the fuck were you trying to arrest them in the first place again?

Guess what? If you move, even as a physiological response, that’s resisting arrest if the cop feels like it.
