Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

People are complicated. Love is not.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This fight is for everything.

“But what about the lurkers?”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Second rate reporter says what?

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

    My roommate has a girlfriend. Good for him. This means I have had a visitor in the apartment nearly every night for the past 3 months, except for when he spent a month abroad. Every night and all weekend. I would like a break from said girlfriend & don’t even have to talk to her regularly. Isn’t there some level of etiquette kids have about this stuff or do they all this think that constant sleepovers are ok. I say kid, but he’s nearly 30. I’d expect more common sense, much to my usual dismay.

    From the article:

    Bentivolio never fully sold himself as a serious congressman—he once promised to hold a hearing on chemtrails, the conspiracy theory that airplanes are brainwashing Americans with poison—making him an obvious target, despite winning the backing of Speaker of the House John Boehner.

    @Yatsuno: And he knocks that one out of the stadium, and the ball is going to need a visa because it’s going to land in South America.

    @ruemara: He never goes to her place? Yeesh, that’s rough. I had a roommate who gave keys to our apartment to her boyfriend a week after they started dating, and he would let himself all the time, whether she was there or not. I think we were all about 24. She eventually moved out and they got married, but our friendship never recovered.

    @ruemara: I hope you feel like you could talk to your roommate about it. If she has a place of her own, they could spend some time over there. That’s not an unreasonable request. If you don’t talk to him/them about it, it’ll just keep happening. It did for a couple of my roommates. Not a good situation.

    Also, depending on your lease, the landlord could get involved if s/he notices a guest staying for too long. In Texas you have seven days before you legally have to inform the landlord if someone is staying as a guest for longer than that.

    I have a story similar to Nicole’s too. Hopefully your situation hasn’t progressed to that point. Hard to bring up except bluntly, though. Good luck.

    In similar situations, we used to call that a FedEx girlfriend.

    “When she absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.”

    @NotMax: that is definitely her. A little too full of her own quality, too.

    I’d be a lot cooler with things if she, a. Picked up after herself &/or taught him to pick up after himself; b. Was not a loud talker; c. Was not prone to having long discussions sometime just about when I’m finally falling asleep; d. Understood the joy of politely demurring on sleeping over, since she’s been here since Friday. And we have 1 bathroom, which only I clean. It’s like I wound up running a hotel with only a honeymoon suite. Yuck. Pass.

    So, some interesting weather headed this way.

    Weakening Hurricane Iselle on Thursday through early Saturday, followed by Julio later Saturday through Monday.

    Tracking map for Iselle.

    Tracking map for Julio.

    Flash flood watches already announced for the entire time. Currently, winds from ~40 to 75 mph expected.

    Got enough supplies in the house, so won’t have to brave the milling throngs at the stores on Wednesday.

    Saturday is also primary election day.
