Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

TV show where illegal immigrants hunt down Republican sex offenders for a chance at citizenship - call it “Alien vs. Predator.”

This is dark. Actually, unhinged.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

Also, I do not give a flying f*ck about whether leaders like each other, what they are like away from politics, whether they are cranky or likable or funny or remember your birthday.
What. Do. They. Do. With. Power.
That is what matters.

The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

GCN is really doing an excellent job with the videos they've done related to urbanism, street design and safety. Well worth a watch!
