I don't even understand what it's supposed to be simply because nobody who uses the term can define liberalism in the first place. Where does it fit in the discourse that's been ongoing for a century?

Replacing a black woman with a white man would have massively depressed base turnout.

Biden really should have thought about this when selecting her as running mate.

The "dead people" receiving benefits are orphans getting them in their dead parent's name because this isn't Oliver Fucking Twist.

I still think we made a mistake by passing on Mike Gravel in 2008.

The Nashville where you could find a drag Patsy Cline impersonator busking in Printer's Alley is long gone. Fuck what it's become and everyone who made it happen.

I used to say Nazis should be treated like pedophiles but this isn't what I meant.

People who don't get covid boosters should absolutely pay more.

Memphis in May + Beale Street Music Festival.

Minor orphans collect benefits in the name of their deceased parent. I'm not sure about how it works with SNAP specifically but it's part of why programs like social security exist. We pay in so our kids won't be left begging on the street like in a Dickens novel if we die.

They are talking about direct pay, doing away with insurance entirely. To idiots, risk pools sound like communism. They want HSAs only.

To not be banned in the future, Walk the Line.

Gawker Christmas parties with you and Anna Marie Cox must have been lit.

So if a Chinese national did a transplant fellowship at a US accedemic medical center, would that take out the whole transplant program?

I so miss the Hater's Guide to the Williams Sonoma Catalog this time of year.

Let them do whatever they are going to do. Welcome it. There's a common misunderstanding that peaceful and nonviolent protest are the same thing. Organized nonviolence in the model of MLK and Ghandi is allowing violence to be used against you and not raising a finger to stop it.

No one who's ever called everyone left of center "socialist" should be pedantic about "ephebophile" vs "pedophile."

It doesn't matter what exact variety of child molester he was ffs.

Nobody who has ever misused the term "socialism" should be pedantic about this.

You don't have to use violence. Civil disobedience works fine. What you don't do is get permits and then go home thinking you made a difference.

You shut down freeways, get teargassed and arrested and say "gas me harder daddy" until they finally understand there's a whole lot more us than them.

I was in and out of the hospital a few summers ago. UHC decided not to pay for anything that could have been done outpatient, like a 3AM CT for clots. After a year of what can only be described as haggling, they paid pennies on the dollar. Poland indeed.
