  • I’ve noticed this happening more often than I would have imagined, actually. There are some times where Trump or one of his sycophants will make an off-the-cuff remark that is actually, genuinely, a good and logical thing to do. it doesn’t happen that often, but it does happen. The bizarre part is that when that idea fails to manifest media coverage detailing how bad it is, they just… give up on it. It’s like the conservative political philosophy has completely morphed into being a contrarian force against liberalism, in spite of whatever their personal beliefs might be. If democrats are ambivalent on an issue, so are they.






  • I try not to be judgemental about such things. Everyone has different circumstances in life that might have prevented them from learning those skills. My fiancee, now in her 30’s, has never owned a bicycle and was never taught. She had a poor upbringing and so the funds were never there for her to be able to learn.

    But man, I sure do wonder about the people whose parents did have the financial means for bike riding and swim lessons. Either the parents didn’t show any interest in teaching their kid how to do it, or the kid was not interested in leaning. Either way, it’s not really a good reflection on either the parents or the kid.











  • Of course, hypocrisy is the modus operandi of the Republican party. They are just upset that we are finally starting to fight fire with fire, not because of what we are actually doing.

    If we do the same bad behavior that we’ve let the Republicans get away with for decades, their only recourse is to do what we have been unable to do and actually legislate some rules into place that bind everybody equally. I’m honestly fine with either path at this point, either everybody gerrymanders the fuck out their their districts, or nobody does.

    If this is what it takes to finally get some change in motion, I’m all for breaking every political norm in the book, and then setting the book on fire.
