Is there any answer that would make this situation less yucky?

I mean, I sure as hell don't vote for people who want to take away my rights, but I'm still an American, and we're dumb enough to allow bullshit like people who think not voting is a protest, the Electoral College and decisions like Citizens United and rampant gerrymandering to stand, so...

I have yet to see a proper SUV with cargo space. Where do I put the kids' backpacks, all the groceries, and an impulse buy at a yardsale on the way back from school pickup in these tiny little cars? I don't want a pickup truck, I want a real SUV, and I don't need the bullshit they label "luxury".

The New York Times is basically a tabloid at this point. Waiting on the "Hillary gives birth to alien baby" headline

The 1950s called and they want their propaganda verbiage back. McCarthy is cackling down in hell.

We're the morons who elected him twice. We also put that sock puppet W in office. We do just fine embarrassing ourselves.

All these middle aged white men look the same to me, but the one on the right, Carney?, the twitch of his left hand and the re-grasp... was he holding back a slap?

Why the fuck are you selling his emoluments for him? Do you have any real fucking journalists left? Where are your spines?

If the same team that organized the failure "perade" this past weekend in DC has anything to do with organizing the sporting events, they'll be terrible regardless of the gestapo being there!

I was a production assistant on an indie film in the 90s. Can I be mayor, too? The author of this article needs to delete their accounts

It's the silence that speaks the loudest: It's tacit approval. The LDS church doesn't care that people who claim their religion are also promoting this violence and class warfare. It hoards gazillions of dollars. It doesn't care about poor people. It cares about money and power.

Religions are all promoting violence. All of them. Modi, Netanyahu, Bin Salman, Mike fucking Johnson, this asshole from Utah... it's all the same man. And he's a bad man. Religion is a means to gain power and money and engage in violence that you pretend is justified based on a god you made up.

They can be censured and expelled from the Senate. Both Houses of Congress have expulsion powers. But sure, let's haggle over verbiage. Have a nice day.

It's almost like LDS is just another fucking bullshit religion with all the problems all the other religions have. Fuck them. Believe what you like, but don't be a fucking douchebag about it and fuck off when you feel like ringing my doorbell. I can read, and your Book is garbage. Have a day.

But the bottom line is, call your fucking senator, regardless of their beliefs and bullshittery, and tell them to fucking purge Mike Lee from the Senate, and all who stand with him. Impeach and remove. Get him out. Get his allies out. Get them all out.

Yeah, but some LEOs want to kill and signed up to be fucking assholes, because that's who they are, and the lack of proper filters in the system means they get in and then start shooting rubber bullets instead of lead. Time to expel the bullies.

The only good thing the Mormons do is that fabulous document archive familysearch.org. They should be lauded for their careful research and archiving and sharing with the public. Thank you, Mormons, for your diligence in paperwork. Please stop ringing doorbells. Also, pay some taxes.

Please ask the HHS Secretary whether or not my humours need realignment or whatever. Perhaps hanging some crystals and reading my horoscope and rubbing some fucking essential oils on some leeches would help my yellow bile imbalance.

@wbur.org Hi, can you bring the rest of NPR to heel here? This is insane. Would you also like to host a discussion on whether or not the Earth is flat or Jesus saddled up his TRex on his voyages around Mesopotamia?

The dud(e) answering the phone at Rep Lori Trahan's office just "mmhmmed" his way through my complaint about not having a law protecting journalists against bad cops
