Oh, honey . . . you weren't ostracized for being a Republican, you were ostracized for being a relentlessly tedious nepo jerk.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

"Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day today, haven't we?" "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow though." - Grant and Sherman after the disaster of the first day of Shiloh, April 1862. They won the next. Today is one of the bad days in American history. Better days will come.

Shout out to all the local Pakistani and Chinese restaurants and their staff who will be working Christmas. As the manager at Royal Kabob told me, "Brother, we're always open. Even on the Day of Judgement, we'll be open." Respect.

California, a state of nearly 40,000,000 people, has the same amount of representation in the United States Senate as Wyoming, a state of less than 600,000 people. This is the direct result of a deal struck between slave states and free states in the 1700s. It’s time for that to change.

Donald trump is making these cabinet nominations in a way that says he's not taking it seriously at all, almost like he's just picking names out of a hat. Regardless of party affiliation, we should be VERY concerned that he's appointing unqualified idiots in almost every area.

Social Media etiquette: How to avoid coming across as a turd in your replies "Actually..." - do not mansplain. Or womansplain. Avoid all splaining. "There, I fixed it for you..." - If I wanted it fixed, I'd do it myself. "Raise your..." - fuck off. "I think you meant..." - seriously, fuck off.
