so many layers to this story, but the most interesting to me is that it's sourced to FIVE (5) *current* administration officials... for whatever reason, the knives are out for this guy

i have a lot of questions about the chain of events here, though one of the less important ones is “why the fuck are these people all staying at ritz-carltons”

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

No, i don't want to "text you back." I want to find just the right Smashing Pumpkins lyric to put up as an away message so I don't have to talk to anyone

part of it is they're so, so off-putting if you don't share their bigotries going in, and the assumption that the audience shares their bigotries is fundamental to so much of their content

Republican presidents & politicians call Democratic presidents & politicians traitors, say their voters aren't American, denigrate their businesses & jobs as bullshit pointless bureaucracy, & insult every marker of their way of life without question.

This is precisely the sickness right here: "The Democratic Party should make fan fiction podcasts say 'woman' again."

How? Why? Do right-wing podcasts ever say anything untoward that Republicans should address?

Everything goes back to the myth that Dems are responsible for petty aesthetic gripes
