I’m old enough to remember when Mitt Romney said the problem was that 47% of America didn’t pay taxes and wanted to be freeloaders. But I welcome him to the resistance.

“If you were thirty in 2014, you hit the wall.” Or, hear me out, the recession depressed the job prospects of all persons in their 20s during the late 2000s and boomers worked to a later age resulting in less room for advancement, and none of that had to do with a push for greater diversity?

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

as someone who’s been to both small-town Italy and small-town Iowa; I’m taking Italy 100% of the time.
If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

Voters wrongly blame our gov. for inflation but largely take personal responsibility for their wages...when it should really be the opposite.
If typical workers' pay had kept pace with productivity over the last 45 yrs, our paychecks would be ~40% larger today.

it is 100% JUST CAUSE to vaporize even a unionized worker who flings the N-word at Black customers and declares “I am a racist,” please stop embarrassing me

Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy

Presidential power is the power to persuade, and Donald Trump appears unable to persuade anyone to do anything.
Intimidate, threaten, extort? Sure. But sticks only get you so far and work for so long.
