I wish we could see a bipartisan Yates/Comey 2020 ticket. Unfortunately, the people with the most integrity, who would do the most good in a position of power, are the people least likely to actually desire that power.

I will seriously lmao if the chronically talentless hot mess Jill Stein turns out to be both boring AND evil.

Let's be serious, being a Green Party lefty that has dinner with Flynn and Putin at the anniversary gala for the Russia Today news channel - where Julian Assange used to have his own show - is about as sketchy as it gets even WITHOUT me being the type to buy into conspiracy theories.

Anyone care to make a bet on whether or not this administration will try and repeal the Freedom of Information Act?

Because really, what is more antithetical to Trump than that?

So some chick commented on my public FB page and claimed that the CDC "creates diseases to keep us scared". -_____- Naturally, I told her that she was a moron and that she was more than welcome to go catch leprosy or something else awful that's been cured with modern medicine, and she responds like "YOU MUST BE BORED TO KEEP TALKING WHEN I'M NOT RESPONDING".

She responded to point out how she's not responding.

P.S. I only replied the once.

There really is no hope anymore, is there? 😐 🔫

Hoping our soldiers and airmen and their families are safe.

An Amtrak train derailed off an overpass onto the main freeway right in the middle of Monday rush hour traffic an hour and a half south of Seattle just past Joint Base Lewis–McChord.

There's gonna be a lot of people dead.

This is how the world will end.

Bring it on.

Roy Moore is apparently still sending out emails to people begging for money for his "election integrity fund".

This is what happens when you get fired from 2 jobs in a row. LOL

I think we should compile a list of telecom carriers and ISPs that were against the repeal and try to use them instead, where possible.

Just ditched Verizon as my wireless carrier because they supported the repeal of Net Neutrality. Signed up with ProjectFi by Google (I wanted the Pixel 2 phone anyway). Process was easy, and my bill will be cheaper. I hope more people follow suit in ditching these companies who put their profits over the will of the people.

This is an except of an interview with one of the men who murdered 14 year old Emmett Till, who was black, in 1955 because a white woman said he whistled at her (which she later admitted she'd lied about). Both murderers were acquitted.

After Roy Moore's humiliating defeat in Alabama, largely due to the high numbers of black voters who turned out to vote against him...the line I highlighted starts to read like poetic justice, doesn't it?

I hope they make a habit of it.

Would be a delicious irony if we lose Net Neutrality, the far right starts mocking the "triggered" liberals...and then all the telecom companies and ISPs throttle and/or ban all their hate sites.

I'd be willing to take one for the team if that would be the result.

Maybe being a soulless corporate fuckboy is considered a disability...

(not sure what about that they thought was an attack or threat against a protected group, but okay)

Hee heh my rather strong feelings on the Net Neutrality matter got the best of me...

(still think he's a cunt, tho)

Well, so it's kind of a foregone conclusion that we're going to lose Net Neutrality. Maybe it'll get held up in court, or maybe it'll end up being punted down into a state's rights issue (which would suck for most of America but probably not me on the West Coast), so I guess the question now is - if the worst comes to pass and the ISPs really rape and pillage this, what can we do?

IPSs could potentially throttle known VPNs. So..? Thoughts?

I am so tired of the "women invite sexual harassment from men because of the way they dress" line.

Dogs may hump your leg because they don't know any better, but they can be trained not to. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that we shouldn't expect less of adult men than we do our household pets - the concept is not difficult. And when WOMEN lay the blame on other women? Oh man, that ticks me off.

Roy Moore's victory walkout song.

Also this video of a guy in Moore's camp from earlier today has me DYING.

The fact that people actually elect these morons...jfc.
