You should include Roseanne somewhere in these strips. Turns out that “Roseanne Connor” will be a Trump supporter on a reboot of the series. I fully expect well adjusted members of the #resistance to be screaming at their TVs “The Connor’s voted against their interests!”

I’m certain Roseanne the character will be reflective of the people who did vote for Trump and not a crass, shallow caricature. I mean, we know that libs are the worst at understanding the arguments of their opposition and if shows like West Wing and House of Cards can’t even give a credible voice to even right wing moderates, surely a comedian dumb enough to marry Tom Arnold will be able to do so.

Roseanne, the person, has this bizarre affinity for the working class (she was a big Green Party supporter) and I don’t think Democrats realize how thoroughly discredited they have become with workers in this country. I have a friend in politics (Democrats) and he said that private sector unions can’t deliver votes anymore, because about half of their workers refuse to vote Democrat. Trump’s strange blend of economic nationalism with conservative social policy is a big winner among the working class (it is the same playbook that Nixon and Reagan both employed to win these voters).
Creosote Achilles

Oh, believe me, being from working class roots, I get the appeal of Trump. I simply had slotted Roseanne into ‘unhinged progtard celebrity’ in my head and didn’t think any further than that. I’d sort of forgotten about her affinity for blue collar folks. It makes sense, I was just being intellectually lazy. *Cute Alanis Morrisette*

Roseanne’s kind of an old-style union Democrat. She definitely rejects the current Dem obsession with identity rather than class. Makes her much more interesting than the average lefty celebrity, that’s for sure.

I was up in one of the satellite the cafeterias for lunch today. This cafeteria is mostly used by the union factory folks, but it is right next to my wife’s office. So we usually get there about the time the the factory folks are leaving. A 50ish white women as openly disparaging Oprah’s potential run for president and the “important speech” she gave the other night.
The factory is run by middle-class, blue-collar workers. Many of these people have sons or daughters in the military. These people bailed out on Hillary in the last election. They are not going to rebound to the Democrats in the mid-term election.

The one thing I did like about the Roseanne show back then was that it was the most realistic TV show. By that, of course, I mean that everyone was ugly. On the vast majority of sitcoms, even the dumpy fat working class guy usually has a hot, thin wife.

Archie was likable and people genuinely hated meathead. It’s sorta like how Full Metal Jacket is beloved by military people despite Kubrik intending it as an anti-war piece.

CAP Action’s memo says protecting DACA is not only a “moral imperative” for Democrats, it also key to getting votes.
“The fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success,” reads Palmieri’s memo, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“If Democrats don’t try to do everything in their power to defend Dreamers, that will jeopardize Democrats’ electoral chances in 2018 and beyond,” reads the memo. “In short, the next few weeks will tell us a lot about the Democratic Party and its long-term electoral prospects.”

(3) Chain migration preferences are drastically limited to the spouse and children of the legal resident. For Dreamers and everyone else. Period.

Pro-Gun Women Regularly Face Violent, Sexual Harassment (repost from FreeBeacon)
By Stephen Gutowski, December 18, 2017
These wonderful women are threatened because they speak out for armed self-defense. I’ve met several of them. I know others like them. Progressives think they speak for all victims, and these strong women refuse to be or remain a victim. Listen to the hatred spewed by the people who want you disarmed. This is only a taste. Sadly, there is more. Follow the link (here: http://freebeacon.com/culture/pro-gun-women-regularly-face-violent-sexual-harassment/). – Rob Morse
“It’s a fucking shame you weren’t killed when that scumbag raped you, you fucking despicable, lying, lowlife, Right-Wing, Neo-Fascist CUNT!” That was the message Kimberly Corban found waiting for her on Facebook early last year.
“You truly are a soulless, self-righteous, self-serving bitch with sick gun fetish. Do us all a favor & blow your own brains out,” Twitter user Lou Aguilar said to Dana Loesch on Oct. 3.
“Stick that gun in your cunt bitch and pull the trigger,” Twitter user John T. McFarland said to Jenn Jacques in September 2015.
“This bitch needs to get off the Internet, she’s an embarrassment to black people. This sill coon lives in a pink and fluffy world where there is some sort of equality. I hope that the kkk lynches,” commenter SR posted on a YouTube video by Stacy Washington.

Russia is a country with which we could at least potentially have a not-overtly hostile relationship. There are opportunities for mutually beneficial trade. China has basically declared that they plan on taking the US’s place as superpower ASAP and they are much more nefarious looting third world shitholes for natural resources to use against us. An astute statesman might be able to leverage the competitive nature of Russia and China’s relationship into a tenuous Russia-US economic alliance. That doesn’t mean Russia will ever be an ally, but we can do better than what we’ve done so far.

Because our geopolicy for the last couple of decades has been run by morons. Instead of thinking strategically, try thinking like a playground kid. It’ll make a lot more sense then. Right now, Russia is the “baddies”. Since China and Russia don’t get along, that must make the Chinese the “goodies”. And even making mutually beneficial trade deals with the Russians must mean we support the “baddies”. Yes, it really is that retarded.
Just consider, wide swaths of the “foreign policy wise men” were ready to shit their pants over the prospect that Donald Trump might refrain from risking a nuclear war with Russia because they were providing military support to their longstanding ally against ISIS.
well, I just saw that Adam Schiff (he of the punchably smug face and leaking to the press about RUSSIAAAAAGATEE!!!) got 1/6 of his 2016 campaign funds from arms companies.

That doesn’t mean Russia will ever be an ally, but we can do better than what we’ve done so far.
China is the threat.
That doesn’t mean Russia will ever be an ally, but we can do better than what we’ve done so far.
Because our geopolicy for the last couple of decades has been run by morons. Instead of thinking strategically, try thinking like a playground kid. It’ll make a lot more sense then. Right now, Russia is the “baddies”. Since China and Russia don’t get along, that must make the Chinese the “goodies”. And even making mutually beneficial trade deals with the Russians must mean we support the “baddies”. Yes, it really is that retarded.
Just consider, wide swaths of the “foreign policy wise men” were ready to shit their pants over the prospect that Donald Trump might refrain from risking a nuclear war with Russia because they were providing military support to their longstanding ally against ISIS.
Climate change?
well, I just saw that Adam Schiff (he of the punchably smug face and leaking to the press about RUSSIAAAAAGATEE!!!) got 1/6 of his 2016 campaign funds from arms companies. So he’s not JUST a DNC puppet shill and big business crony who hypocritically complains about other people doing it, but also a warmongering bastard. This is my shocked face.
I hate him so much. At least Ted Lieu is just a moron.
I’m not saying you’re suggesting otherwise, but this Russia nonsense can be being hyped up ridiculously and Russia can be under a terrible government.
Yes

I just learned that I’m getting Fiber to the Home in my new house. BOOYAH.
Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves.

Paradoxically, ghost poops are some of the hardest poops to be found in nature.

I had a phone interview at a consulting firm located in Chicago. Apparently it went well enough that they want me to drive over there next week to do a face-to-face meeting.
Part of me says “GAAAHH!H!” since leaving my current job after almost 16 years is a bit difficult for me to consider. But the way things are going here – senior management going crazy and my boss, who is losing his interest since he’s retiring soon – I may not have much of a choice.
derp – not meant as a reply.
Chicago…. ugh.
Congratulations!
located in Chicago
Yeah….Good luck next week!
Would you have to move to Chicago?
Thankfully no – part of my terms is no relocation (love my neighborhood and my parents recently moved nearby so I can look after them in their old age).
This would be a work-from-home job.
I laughed
Bender brand fiber?
