I don’t think there’s any way it’ll ever happen, but man I wish it would. Our legislators really do love having built-in excuses for not doing their jobs and/or outright breaking their promises to voters, and the filibuster has been used as the excuse to hamper meaningful positive change countless times, even when said change has massive popular and democratic support.

Get rid of it.

Dear Donald and Bari: Go fuck yourselves.

Everyone out there please share these links.

I do, yes.

We’ve seen too many cases in the last 10 months of clear meddling in news and media companies by the Federal Government. A few examples: The dozens of lawsuits (most of which Donald won), Jimmy Kimmel, and most recently the Kennedy Center controversies and Donald’s insertion of himself into the WB sale.

It’s unreasonable to think Donald isn’t meddling in news agencies at this point.

I think that in the coming years we’re going to learn that Bari Weiss and others are just literally running stories by someone in Donald’s White House before they’re published. They didn’t pay that hack $150,000,000 for her “brilliant” media work, after all.

Utter horseshit.

Go read the “essay”. It’s online, and it sounds like it was written by a fifth grader sitting in a Sunday School. It’s completely inappropriate for a science course, and this stupid motherfucker should have gotten a failing grade.

There is no right people hold more dear in this country than their presumed right of stupidity.

These bastards need to pay some fucking taxes.

And they’re setting up the fall guy, not that it matters. The Bush Administration outed CIA agents for political reasons and nothing happened to their fall guy.

Yeah, the smaller arenas for basketball/hockey tend to be better for repurposing, but I wish the people who run the Olympics would just ditch the new stadium/arena bullshit entirely. In most cities it’s just unnecessary.

I saw this headline and my thinking is: “Good”.

It’s always felt really, really stupid that part of landing the Olympics is the promise of building new arenas and stadiums, and those arenas and stadiums seem to sit unused afterward. Just a huge waste when so many countries and cities already have facilities for professional sports.

The Marsha P. Johnson method suggests that a brick is more effective at creating change.

Make fascists scared again.

Here’s hoping it happens.

Jeffries is a spineless cretin with the charisma of moldy bread.

Another sterling example of the genocidal Democratic Party.

Probably a really, really good engine that doesn’t need gasoline.

Same with Ralph Yarl. It was a national outcry that got his attempted murderer arrested.

At age 62, thirty years is a life sentence for Curt Anderson, and that is what he should get.

100%

I don’t care what his reasoning is. He murdered an innocent woman and her husband and kids have to deal with lifelong trauma because of it. LOCK HIM UP.

These laws are to loosely written that you could potentially murder someone and get away with it.

Yep, they are deliberately open-ended and vague, thanks to the gun lobby making guns extra-legal in the US.

Bolded and italicized the money quote.

I love the thought of 100 Republicans voting against Donald on this, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Wish there was a Snowden out there to release this shit.

You shouldn’t have to work to be able to live, period.

OP is not wrong.

But the one thing that our Senate really fucking needs to do is never going to happen: Restoring Pre-1980 tax rates on the rich. Until that happens, this march towards the end of the US’ imperial power will continue unabated.
