Ok last Patreon push of the year. On January 1 this year, I set a goal of getting to 1000 paid Patreon supporters by the end of the year. Right now between my newsletter and Patreon, I'm at 883.

Will you help me hit my year end goal? I'm only 117 away. patreon.com/katelynburns

If men and boys confronted sexist and misogynistic behavior in their peers, what a different world this would be.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

When this skit came out during numbnuts 1.0 I just assumed it was a silly bit. Friends, I am here to tell you, caking is no joke. I have found the way, and that way is cake.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Just cancelled all my recurring contributions. I'm officially done with the party, both sides of the aisle can fuck off forever.

Looks to me that the Senate Democratic caucus has just agreed to share blame for everything that Trump does in exchange for… nothing. Primary them. Primary every single one that does not call for a vote to remove Schumer as Minority Leader within the next 7 days.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.

If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

I can’t decide which is funnier:

That Yahoo thinks anyone gives a shit what Bill Maher thinks about the NYC mayoral race, or that Bill Maher thinks anyone gives a shit what Bill Maher thinks about the NYC mayoral race.
