Scientist. Atheist. Progressive. Intellectual. Humanist. Anti-war. Anti-guns. Anti-hate. Anti-Trump. The future is peace, but the present is chaos. Fight on.

Tolerance is good. But being intolerant of intolerance is a necessary hypocrisy. #intolerance #LoveTrumpsHate

Nonsense. If we all go about treating him w/ polite respect in public, his enablers will continue to believe (falsely) that what the public wants is for them to support Trump. It becomes harder to say “we’re following the will of the people!” when this is how Trump is received.

JUST NOW: Dem Sen @ChrisCoons not happy with the "Lock him up " chants at World Series last night.

So yeah, it WILL raise taxes, considerably. But it will cut paycheck deductions even more significantly, meaning more $$ coming home. That’s how socialized systems work! Don’t fear taxes just because you can’t do basic math.

[Joseph X @FutureIsPeace]

I pay ~$12k/yr for health insurance, not inc. copays, prescriptions, etc.

If my taxes go up $5k/yr, but those premiums, copays, & prescription costs disappear, then I bring home $7000 more per year.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND! It’s basic math.

@MrsRabbitResist How do those fuckers even dress themselves?

[Joseph X @FutureIsPeace]

I like this thought...

But I fear it’s nothing but pie-in-the-sky dreaming. How does one unite with misogynists, Nazis, white supremacists, and religious zealots without compromising all of their most important ideals? That’s asking too much. So where does that leave us?

Kanye is entitled to his opinion, and he’s entitled to voice it, but he’s not entitled to intellectual authority in any arena but the one where he actually has the skills and the talent.

And in those other arenas, we are allowed to tell him to shut the fuck up.

[Joseph X @FutureIsPeace]

The problem with self-proclaimed geniuses is that they often think their genius applies to everything.

That’s never the case. We’re all better at some things than others, and “genius” is highly specific. Being a musical genius doesn’t make you a political genius.

[Joseph X @FutureIsPeace]

But now, I have a hard time listening to it because Kanye won’t stay in his fucking lane. He fancies himself a genius in all things, and as a result he’s making himself look like a complete moron in all things.

[Joseph X @FutureIsPeace]

They were asking for it by dressing provocatively.

They’re just paid actors waging a smear campaign.

That’s how all people behave. Why make a big deal out of it?

Why didn’t they report it sooner? I bet it didn’t even happen.

All the misogynists. All the racists. All the bigots. All the men and, yes, women who never believe women. All the people who want to bring back the coathangers. All the ones who want to bow to Russia and abandon our allies.

They’re ***all voting in the midterms.***

Are you?

Fucking brilliant. 1 million high-fives!

Below please find a statement from my client Julie Swetnick regarding the Kavanaugh nomination. I urge you to read it.

[claud @cprandoni_]

donald trump was accused of sexual assault and became president of the united states

brett kavanagh was accused of sexual assault and became a lifelong judge on the highest court of the nation

don’t ever fucking tell me that accusations ruin a man’s life.

Hey say sarcasm is the most intelligent form of humor. No wonder it goes right over Ted’s head.

Winning a lifetime appointment to one of the most powerful positions in the world is the opposite of having your life ruined, you colossal ignoramus!

This partisan rage is sad, and not good for our Nation. We can disagree and still respect each other’s humanity. America is better than the angry mob.

Evolution is an observable fact. That it happens due to natural selection is the theory. And that theory has yet to be disproved.

IMO - politics is like trying to fix up an old Model T in hopes of being able to drive it on the autobahn. At what point do we stop defending the sanctity of the Constitution and admit that this document was never written to handle the shitshow that America has become? #flawed

[Joseph X @FutureIsPeace]

“No” would have been the brave choice.

“Present” was a the coward’s way out.

[Bridget Joy @bridget_joy_]

Murkowski didn’t vote “no.” She abstained & this allowed for the R guy to be absent (for daughter’s wedding). She knew the math would work this way before she announced her decision. Does she really deserve so much praise? Or was it all for show?
