Yeah. That's frustrating. The thing that frustrates me the most is when liberals say stuff that isn't true. I'm like, Dude, you don't need to resort to alternative facts to make your case. It doesn't help.

Exactly. Because now your opponents don't have to counter your real points, they can just discredit you by tearing apart your falsehoods.

I am engaging with people on Sen. Ted Cruz's post about Sally Yates. It is going about as well as you might expect.

Gud, I have no idea if it would do any good with your friend, but Andrew Sullivan had an eye-opening and heart-breaking conversation on abortion with women on his blog back in 2009

There has also been a similar series of letters on the Atlantic blog, Notes.

I knew Yates was going to get canned as soon as I saw her statement. No way Voldemort would stand for that.

This is an ignorant and fundamentalist twist. Shame on you, Drew. You should be better equipped to disagree, by now.

Sorry, was this meant to be a joke, or were you being sincere? Because I don't think Drew needs to be shamed for sharing his thoughts on a religion he was intimately involved with most of his life. And I can tell you that he's incredibly respectful to the many Christians in his life, including my mother, his cousin who is a Presbyterian minister, and many of our friends.

Man, today even my apolitical boss expressed some concern. For one thing, we are understaffed and the hiring freeze is interfering with his ability to get work done. This is unacceptable.

I'm having trouble concentrating at work because OMG THE DEMOCRACY IS FALLING. Hard to concentrate on whether we need a permit to install a replacement backup generator on an island in Puget Sound...

I am too tired to research, but

"In the constitution it says that the president has the right to ban immigration for a period of time in order to protect its citizens by executive order."

That's not right. right?

This is an ignorant and fundamentalist twist. Shame on you, Drew. You should be better equipped to disagree, by now.

I'm sorry that you feel this way Cindy.

Yeah, I both can't stop reading Facebook and seeing the constant new horrible things, but also it's making me feel awful and anxious and horrible beyond even those things happening, so for the very first time I'm actually thinking of stepping back from FB. Because I can get the facts from reputable media without the constant seeing right people post about the same thing and the latest "call your people!" And all that jazz. And feeling guilty when I see and enjoy a fashion post. But it all feels so urgent.

I attracted a troll on Twitter. Achievement unlocked!

I am not engaging.
