“But none of that will dampen the fact that for these last eight years, the President of the United States actually listened to Native Americans and kept his promises to them. That is historic.”
Just so we’re clear, there was no great crime wave last year.
I’m sure this is how the inaugural speechwriting process has been going.
The politics of genetics and race are messy and fraught.
“So let’s start with that very basic reminder: Jesus did not have a single book collecting a canon of 66 scriptures. He did not live in a world of books or in a world that treated or thought of or related to books the way we have learned to do. Invoking Jesus, then, as the authoritative source for the idea of the Bible as an authoritative reference handbook is wrong in a way that is several large steps removed from the possibility of being right.”
Businesses are already sucking up to Dear Leader Donald in an attempt to curry his favor.
RIP, William Christopher, best known as Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H.
Four things that were supposed to have happened by now because of President Obama’s re-election.
“Under Obamacare, senior citizens pay less for Medicare coverage and for their prescription drugs. Many Americans have received free contraceptives, mammograms, colonoscopies and cholesterol tests. And small business employees with older and sicker workers have not been slapped with super-high premiums.”
“That means we report on 16 million Americans gaining access to medical care as something other than Good News. And that’s wrong. That’s factually wrong. It’s inaccurate. It’s wrong in the same way it would be wrong not to recognize that the local family surviving the house fire was Good News.”
An Anecdote About Campus Microgressions and Intolerance.
“When it comes to immigration and refugees, presidents and Congress get to say, but mayors have to do.”
Be careful about telling your Amazon Echo about your criminal plans.
Gregg Popovich is a mensch.
Krebs does a deep dive on the DNC hacks.
“A major survey released last week revealed that just 7,100 adult cheetahs remain in the wild, and that the species faces extinction without urgent new protection measures.”
The political error of secretly gutting the House ethics committee.
Maybe it wasn’t just the iceberg that sank the Titanic.
“Beijing will create 13 million jobs by 2020, investing $360 billion in clean energy, while Trump vows to abandon the sector.” Sad!
Julian Assange is a very useful idiot for Vladimir Putin. As is Donald Trump. Remember when conservatives didn’t trust Russia? Boy, those were the days.
Hope you’ll enjoy paying for “fencing and other technology along the southern border”, Trump voters.
That new Drew Barrymore series on Netflix looks, um, interesting.
“Funny how pornography normalizes sexual assault, but electing a man who has bragged about sexual assault somehow doesn’t.”

“FCA’s investment announced Sunday is on top of a previously announced plan to invest $1 billion to expand production of the Jeep Wrangler in Toledo and move the Jeep Cherokee to Belvidere, Ill.”
Funny how when Dear Leader (interesting that Dear Leader hasn’t even been sworn in and positive change is already occurring) wins, America wins. Compare and contrast that to the Obama years. Of course, I don’t know if these new jobs and the new taxes these plants will generate are as good a force multiplier as food stamps, which Pelosi assures us keep the economy humming along.
““Beijing will create 13 million jobs by 2020, investing $360 billion in clean energy, while Trump vows to abandon the sector.” Sad!”
“China is already doing way better than the U.S. in this regard, and President-elect Trump’s commitment to opposing clean energy will not make things any better.”
I don’t recall Trump saying he opposed clean energy. Isn’t his plan for business, less regulation and lower taxes, going to help American solar and wind, along with every other kind of energy? Doesn’t a rising tide lift ALL boats?
