An argument that I keep seeing the right make is that poverty is a choice. And honestly, it makes me wish a horse would kick their teeth out.

Again: what happens here in Tennessee is coming your way next. Pay attention.

They openly say they want this to end up at the Supreme Court.

No one said their logic was sound. I'm just curious how they land their mental gymnastics on this one.

Maybe I'm just ignorant, totally possible, but if the purges are because we need to fix the National debt, then why push so hard to raise the debt ceiling?
Any economists want to explain the Right's logic behind this? Sounds dumb to me but I'm sure they've got some rationale...

DO SOMETHING
Throw your bodies in harms way. Risk reelection. Sell your stocks and give the money to the cause. Defend the Constitution. Obstruct at every turn. Vote no on every nominee.
What is wrong with you?

Why are Democrats voting to confirm ANY of Trump's nominees? I don't care how good they are. Yeah, they're in the minority but damn.
They wring their hands while they just lay down and take it. And then they wonder why they don't win.
I hate it here.

To all the parents out there mourning the passage of time, I'm here to tell you that there is nothing better than a late night conversation about absolutely nothing with your adult child.
I'm grateful and I hang on every single word.

Real talk- why is everything so fucking hard? Even the simplest stuff is just stupid as hell. A lot of it is complicated by people who are purportedly on our side. Let's get on the same page. Quit nitpicking and get it together. Fascism is happening. Who cares where you buy your groceries?

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

When deciding on your commitment to a job, you should always consider the way your bosses talk about the employees who leave.
Are they convenient scapegoats that deflect blame for every long standing issue?

Why is Depeche Mode letting the Jesus people use their song in commercials?
Also, Personal Jesus is a song about an unequal relationship based on hero worship.
Are the Jesus people aware of this?
Wait... did Gore allow this sweet irony for irony's sake?
