Sure, that asshole.

Shout out to one politician from either house to have voted against this.

Fuck, I already forgot his name. Oh well.

Seconded. This is truly masterful.

Relevant username?

I bet Ally has a better Trump though.

Fuck out of my city.

Given how long it takes to train them, this is going to take a bit to recover from.

I can guarantee you that is not the case.

There is no safety premium for first class anyway, but while they may get a gov rate, they are not banking on an upgrade. Especially into and out of DC. Airlines don’t have a ton of first class inventory going spare in that market.

I’m sorry our government is failing you.

I can’t wait until she is put back in a position of real power. She was on track do to SO MUCH fucking good on her last role.

Billionaire will = thwarted

Billionaire funding = wasted

We have a long slog ahead of us. But today was a good day.

Mmmmm couchy

He is former service. Can you expand on this? It seems relevant, particularly since the commenter who started this thread is very fixated on the specific words he used.

The sombrero is every bit as mesmerizing as it is mystifying.

Billionaires really are just like you and me.

I don’t think I am, not a single bit.

If anything I’m asking if we have the discernment and wherewithal to make a distinction between a nazi and a (maybe) former nazi and I’m in a little distress that the answers appears to be a firm “nope”, which means in your mind, the battle lines have already been drawn and there is no point trying to change people’s minds.

And aside from how fundamentally dangerous that is, we just don’t have the numbers. There just aren’t enough leaders or even normal people that will meet your purity test. 3 years ago, I likely wouldn’t have.

Or, you know, don’t leave room in the tent for the slower-to-evolve.

Sure, the purity tests have worked so well for us. Good, solid, and battle tested plan that has nothing to do with us being in this mess.

I am a white man and I used to have very different views than I have today. Should I even bother?

I fucking love my city. I truly believe Chicago is among the most beautiful cities in the world. I truly consider it a privilege to ride my bike along the lakefront trail with a gorgeous skyline on one side of me and a beautiful lakefront on the other side of me. We have amazing, truly world-class music, food, architecture, sports, and art.

The night my Cubs broke their 108 year championship drought, I stood on my front steps and hugged and fived random strangers into the late hours, all of us screaming our heads off; and all of those things I love about Chicago were elevated by and multiplied by the sheer sense of Communion I was having with hundreds of like-minded people who all felt the same way about our city and our team. It was the night my love for this city burned hottest.

Yesterday, in the park and on the streets, magnified and multiplied that by a million. I was surrounded as far as I could see in any direction by people who love this city and love this country as much as I do. It truly looked like every kind of person was represented.

It made it feel like we can actually do this, and that is exactly what Trump and co are afraid of.

Reporters should just start stooping to their level and giving it right back.

“My moms dead you ghoulish bitch, now do you want to answer the question?”
