Jon Stewart tells it like it is. A great clip. If you haven’t seen it, WATCH IT.
*APPLAUSE*
This may be the best thing I have ever watched in my entire life.
I generally prefer Colbert to TDS, but when Jon brings it, THAT SHIT IS FUCKING BROUGHT.
OH MY GOD I HAD SEEN PART OF THIS BUT I JUST WATCHED ALL OF IT AND OMG I LOVE YOU JON STEWART
Oh my god. This is one of the best takedowns I have ever seen. Ever.
MAKE LOVE TO ME, I CANNOT EVEN

STFU AND LISTEN, WHITE PEOPLE: Anonymous asked: Can you give us some examples of the “civil liberties violations” you mentioned?
Okay, here’s an abridged list for those of you who (I guess) don’t read the news:
- Reinstating the Patriot Act after vigorously campaigning against it
- Refusing to investigate or prosecute any of the Bush/CIA officials who ordered and…
The notion that it doesn’t matter who the President is is a big square on the privilege bingo card. For white men, no, it really doesn’t matter who the President is, because they’ll be fine regardless, but for those of us whose lives are on the line based on the decisions the President makes, or the policies the President pushes for, it fucking matters who’s in office.
You can whine all you want about Obama and Romney getting the same amount of money from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Dopey, Sneezy, and Sleepy. Fact is, one of them is way more likely to help me out with my soon-to-be crippling student loan debt. One is more likely to continue to support welfare programs. One is more likely to continue to throw shade on every state that bans gay marriage.
And the other is Mitt Romney.
And before you even ask me to throw my vote away on some cracker in a third party, no. I like Obama. I almost trust him. This election is a battle and he’s got my support. Period.
Seconded.
I, too, support this statement.
My big issues for this campaign are:
- Student Loan Debt
- Reproductive Rights
- Unemployment
- Healthcare Reform
Student loan debt issues are my number one and are actually much higher than reproductive rights. I’m not going to just “borrow money from [my] parents” like Romney wants me to.
For one, my parents don’t have 100 grand laying around to send me to medical school and for two, I don’t want to borrow the money from my parents. I want to pay for my own education, even if it means I will be paying off loans well into my 60s. And Romney saying such a thing demonstrates how out of touch he is with how people who don’t have millions of dollars live.
Love,
Rabble
YES! Thank you. This is part of the reason why I’ll be voting for Obama this upcoming election. Out of all of my options, he seems like the one who’ll do the most good for people like me. Every other option just scares the crap out of me. Mittens doesn’t give a shit about anyone but rich, heterosexual, cis, white men. Romney can go fuck himself up a tree as far as I’m concerned.
That, and four more years of having the cutest couple ever in the White House ain’t so bad. Cx
NARAL: 17 States Will Ban Abortions if Romney Elected
For pro-life voters, the possibility of a president who would give
unborn childrenembryos a realistic change of legal protection (and fuck the quality of life and actual life of people) via the appointment of judges to the Supreme Court who realize the high court was wrong to legislate from the bench in overturning pro-life laws across the nation is likely the number one consideration as they evaluate whether to support Romney over pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
*this applies to anyone with a uterus
Vote Barack Obama.
did they just pick 17 random states for this graphic cuz pretty sure MA wouldn’t ban abortion…
Um, also, Vermont?? Home of the only SOCIALIST in Congress, Sen. Bernie Sanders?
guess whose state is one of the red ones?
YAY, I FUCKING LOVE OKLAHOMA </sarcasm>
A fun visual representation of how unbelievably pointless and wasteful Florida’s drug testing law is. Not pictured: the fact that that $178 million dollars went to a company owned by the governor’s wife.

I am severely depressed to see that Claire McCaskill voted for this, a law that is in blatant violation of the oath that every one of these senators swore to when they took office. Frankly, I expected this nonsense out of Roy Blunt. He is a straight party-line vote on every Republican outrage, without question.
These people have forgotten that our freedoms strengthen us, not weaken us.
Anyway, congratulations to Claire McCaskill. Good luck getting reelected without my vote and my contributions, and those of everyone who follows your nonsensical votes.
I just KNEW there’d be someone from Oklahoma on this list. :I
President Jesus?
Anonymous asked: It’s the Christmas season! Would Jesus be a good President?
Didn’t I answer this question before?
No, I guess I answered a question about whether Jesus could get elected.
Let’s see…Jesus would have a tough time as President because he’d be called a communist or a socialist because of his “crazy” ideas, and the people calling him those names would pretty much be the same people who think Jesus should run everything right now.
Jesus would get very frustrated and probably couldn’t get much done. A Jesus Presidency would probably be very Jimmy Carter-ish. Actually, it would probably be closer to Obama-ish.
The Drudge Report would definitely be out to bring down Jesus (I can see the headlines on Drudge: “JESUS GAY: WHY PRESIDENT JESUS NEVER MARRIED!”). And the Birther Movement would be pissed — forget the birth certificate, did Jesus even come out of a human? That magic stuff wouldn’t fly with the Birthers.
A lot of people would get a rude awakening if Jesus was President because in his Inaugural Address he’d be like, “OF COURSE I’M FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH! It helps people!” and “Not a big fan of this war crap.” Then he’d say, “Oh, and this Occupy Wall Street shit…didn’t you assholes read the Gospel of Matthew? I already cleansed the proverbial Temple once and fucked the money lenders’ shit up. Don’t make me do it twice because I won’t just flip some tables. AMERICA IS A TEMPLE!”
Jesus would get gangsta real quick, but that’s just my opinion/fantasy.
The Jesus doesn’t take shit from anybody!
Ninety seconds. That’s how much of the first hour of tonight’s GOP debate was given to Ron Paul. 90 measly seconds out of 3,600 seconds.
Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign newsletter.
My recommendation: Ron Paul’s campaign should sponsor its own series of debates! Isn’t that the solution that best makes use of the free market? If there’s a whole bunch of competition and very little regulation, wouldn’t we get the best product?
Each candidate should sponsor a separate set of debates to ensure that (s)he is happy with the amount of time devoted to his/her ideas. But if your debate doesn’t draw any ratings and if your poll numbers don’t improve after you express your ideas to your heart’s content, then you have to agree that your ideas just aren’t favored in this market and you have to pack it in. That would sure beat the current system, where the debates are essentially hand-outs to some incredibly weak candidates who have no chance of winning the GOP primary because their ideas consistently fail to meet even the lowest threshold for success that a market would allow.
Why wait to be “given” time, Ron Paul? Why not make time for your ideas yourself? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!
Problem solved, libertarian-style!

“Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans.”
*sigh* you’re gone much to soon George.
Senate GOP blocks Obama infrastructure plan
By ANDREW TAYLOR | The Associated Press
Republicans in the Senate Thursday dealt President Barack Obama the third in a string of defeats on his stimulus-style jobs agenda, blocking a $60 billion measure for building and repairing infrastructure like roads and rail lines.
Supporters of the failed measure said it would have created tens of thousands of construction jobs and lifted the still-struggling economy. But Republicans unanimously opposed it for its tax surcharge on the wealthy and spending totals they said were too high.
The GOP does not care about the US citizens, all they care about is blocking anything positive the president wants to do.
