Update on this: today I became an engaged guy

My mom's refrigerator has every type of sauce and condiment known to man but they're all expired. Did this lady make a poorly worded wish to a genie

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you

If you run charmless candidates who believe in nothing you will constantly find yourself substituting tactics for values and of course you'll have no room for error. If you have candidates who actually give a shit and act like it you'll be amazed the "errors" voters would be willing to ignore

Weather is getting nice, what if 10 million people went outside at the same time

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

How can the job market be bad when I get multiple texts a day from like [email protected] telling me about exciting opportunities in my area

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

There's no way around it: if we care about law and order we have to let the government commit crimes

Mass, relentless public protest is all there is. Every other mechanism for stopping despotism has failed. There's a reason that so many state constitutions include the phrase "All political power is inherent in the people"

[it's hip to be square voice] it's fine to be cringe

The reason I'm hitting myself in the head with a big cartoon mallet is that the people who told me not to do that were condescending. "That's gonna hurt dumbass" they sneered. Well it doesn't hurt and in fact I think it may be helping my asthma

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

No you're not gonna pay 10%. Listen to what I'm saying. You impose 25% and you let it get to half,

The entire reason you curb the exercise of arbitrary power is it prevents one asshole's mood swings from wrecking an entire country! You don't praise it when it momentarily swings in your favor
