One day people will be considering the history of our country and how we threw it away electing a dingus like this and they will think, "I just can't understand the past. Something must explain how Americans voted for this idiot." And I am here to tell them that I don't understand it, either.

"Dad it's a nice night, can we eat on the balcony?" "No son. Your mom and I used to dine on the balcony but--well, we did things--" "What?" "SHAMEFUL THINGS! Your mom mixed drinks in her cleavage! She cooked steaks in her armpit! I ogled her toasting fork and tried to drink gin through my forehead!"

Government is complex and public policy has many moving parts. Destroying agencies you don’t understand will always have unintended consequences. Elon doesn’t give a shit about farmers, but their Reps and Senators might.

So he bought a company, brought back all the Nazis, and destroyed about 80% of its value. Republicans: Hmm. So tell me more about the "brought back all the Nazis" part.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

Republicans want to turn this country into a fascist theocracy. As Democrats, we must put aside our differences and work with them to help achieve this reality.

When you suddenly start tearing through the air safety bureaucracy with an ax after two decades-plus of near perfect US commercial air safety any plane that suddenly careens out of the sky is probably on you.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

I would add that it is also a tell that they understand they are in fact no better than the people they scorn, and the fear is in large part based on losing their special rights and advantages.

Trump doesn’t have the law on his side. What he has is power. Historically speaking, when the “rule of law” comes up against raw power and a dictator willing to use it, the rule of law always loses.

Correct. There's a lot of ugly and awful things coming our way, and there are a lot of different ways to handle that, but please do not forget to add: Everything bad is the fault of Trump and Republicans. Everything. They promised they'd fix it but haven't. Blame, blame, blame, blame. It works.

This is it—the final day of pretty-good democracy in the U.S. before a felon arrives to loot and plunder. Trump’s unstable personality makes it impossible to guess his precise actions, but we know generally what’s coming. 1/4

January is the slowest month of the year for those breweries we all love. It’s also a month when people take a break from alcohol. But wait, there’s no conflict here! 1️⃣ You don’t have to drink alcohol to enjoy a pub, and breweries are happy to support your Dry January goals.

Here’s a mind-bending fact that occurred to me this morning: our current president arrived in Washington before Jimmy Carter, who had been an ex-president for 44 years before his death yesterday. RIP

That Seattle-Chicago game was dismal. 444 yards of combined offense, 13 punts, 9 points. I know Seattle is still statistically alive, but it had the feel of two bad teams mailing it in.
