He’s doing the exact thing scabs always do which is get emotionally attached to their manager rather than understand that we are talking about changing the system of workplace power dynamics in unionizing. Read more

Or he’s just a smarmy edgelord piece of shit who not only happily gave Milo a platform before he was excommunicated from the alt-right but actually agreed with the disingenuous garbage that dribbled from his maw Read more

You underestimate Maggie Haberman at your peril. A steady read of her twitter feed should demonstrate her top notch qualifications as an idiot. Read more

I wonder that sometimes too, but then I remember it is a favorite and constant target of Trump supporters who constantly call* for it to be taken off the air because (some of) the hosts are critical of Trump - so maybe it’s an effort to keep attention on the show to stir up shit with (and make fun of) Trump Read more

How could I overlook that! She wasn’t even born on third, someone hit a homerun and they put her in as a pinch-runner somewhere between 3rd and home. Read more

“I don’t know why she’s so upset,” McCain reportedly said Read more

You left out the fact that she’s also married to the founder and publisher of The Federalist, who is so far up the ass of the Conservative Think Tank-Industrial Complex that his farts are used as Heritage Foundation fundraising letters. Read more

There is no more aggrieved or persecuted person in America than Meghan McCain. She speaks for the forgotten middle American, because as the daughter of US Senator and heir to one of the largest beer distribution companies in Arizona, the granddaughter of Navy Admiral, she knows what it is like to pull your self up by Read more

So how does a TV show/producer handle this? Sit them both down to talk about how to best conduct their disagreements on the air and conduct an informative, entertaining show or just let them go at in because it’s “good ratings”? Read more

Make no mistake: the Reagan presidency was just as brutal, racist, and loathsome as the Trump or George W. Bush presidencies, and to have served in the Reagan administration is just as big a moral black mark as serving in either of those other two administrations. Read more

I don’t disagree with you really. I’ve just noticed a trend in the Gawker media Group of people dying, and then writers telling us how bad they were as humans. That’s fine and good, but i think it would seem far less scummy to say this when they were alive and capable of defending themselves than to trash them like Read more

What complete bullshit. What the left media (and its readers) refuse to understand is that any leader of the United States - ANY - will be forced to make life and death political decisions — and lives and deaths will be the outcome regardless of their politics, ethics, religion, or morals. They are responsible, to the Read more

The worst thing any president has done in the past 50 years was H.W.’s OK ing of Saddam’s invasion of Kuwatt. Our response to that, plus 911, plus another Iraq war and all that resulted makes H.W.’s 4 years as bad as anyones. Bin Laden attacked us because our involvement in Middle East and stationing troops in Saudia A Read more

I caught a lot of shit this weekend because in a facebook post about Bush’s death I said “If there were a Heaven and Hell the Bushes aren’t getting into Heaven. Nice to see he never obtained clarity at the end.” Read more

Thank you. All of these warm heart-felt condolences have been pissing me off. Making this man look like a saintly old grandfather. He has so much innocent blood on his hands it is ridiculous. Not to mention America still hasnt recovered from the fucking Reagan era. Read more

Pence was a horrible person before becoming VP. Being Trump’s VP doesn’t make him a piece of shit. Well, actually it does. But not a worse piece of shit. I think. I lost my train of thought. Read more

I vehemently disagree with the title and tone of this article. Just because the president is bad doesn’t automatically mean that the #2 is a piece of shit as well. For instance, take the current administration. 45 is obviously one of the worst people to inhabit the office since actual enslavers lived in the White House Read more
