The country is going right and wants the government to do more!
Sure. That is why democrats are supporting spending cuts.
The upcoming appropriation  votes will not make Bernie and Lizzie very happy.
Yes, the nature of bipartisan governing is that no one is ever really happy. But Sanders and Warren will be less unhappy than Matty and Marge unless McCarthy is willing to blow the whole thing up for them

.
You really ought to pay more attention.
I have been. You should pay more attention to something other than hard right wish fulfillment fantasies.
The hard right decided to take a symbolic or small victory saving its furor for thr bigger fights.
The democrats leapt at the chance to escape a battle that would have ruined them as serious lawmakers.

Oh, Prunella!

Why should people respect people who don't respect others.

Mother Teresa was a nun.

Too gross and weird for middle and elementary schools. By High School kids in Utah have the stomach for and fortitude to withstand such filthy prose so the Bible is allowed.

Mother Teresa was a nun.
And the transgender cyclist whose ostracizing you celebrated is a human being who has gone through a life of struggle you cannot fathom. And you have no problem with people disrespecting her. And I guarantee you that you have laughed at a comic representation of a religious figure without once conceptualizing it as disrespect. Not to mention I absolutely fucking guarantee you have laughed at Gay person played for laughs without once thinking "why should people respect people who don't respect others?" And that if someone pointed out the disrespect you would talk about the repression of straight people. You stupid,.stupid, stupid hate filled little puddle of kangaroo piss.

Elba does not set the bar high for expertise in this area. AFAIK kangaroos aerate their urine before expelling it under high pressure, producing a penetrating mist that permeates a couple hundred square feet of adjacent ground.  Stakes a claim to territory, something like a hydraulically enhanced tomcat. 

Some Aussies will rent kangaroos to use as a natural herbicide treatment, chaining them up mid-lawn, and dosing them with cranberry cocktail.   Apparently pretty effective on bindweed and broadleaf weeds.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

I think the most famous piece going after Mother Teresa was that of Christopher Hitchens.
