This. This right here is why I'm voting for her.

I don't either, and women supporting that buffoon is harder for me to understand than working class support for him. It must be that they were raised to accept an inferior status as normal. And that is very, very sad.
I can't. I just can't.

I realize how freaking lame this is about to make me sound, but I actually cried when Hillary won the nomination.
I cried too. It was that video she showed, with Shirley Chisholm, and Gloria Steinem, and Ann Richards. And it's not lame.
I was beside myself 11PM on Election Night 2008 when it was official that Obama was the 44th president. I don't think I'm going to have quite the same reaction this time (if, always if), if only because she's not as touchy-feely as he is. But I'm looking forward to little girls finally having proof that they can do anything boys can do.

I would love to read more about LBJ. I know that the author of Team of Rivals wrote a book on LBJ
Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. It was Doris Kearns Goodwin's first book. There's also Robert Caro's The Years of Lyndon Johnson series, which is going to ape The Last Lion as a multi-part biography of a major historical that took decades to finish. At least this probably won't have to be finished posthumously.
If you want a really good book about a great man with a messy private life, Goodwin's No Ordinary Time is a wonderful history of FDR and Eleanor during WWII. If/when Hillary is sworn in, I'd like to imagine Eleanor pumping her fist somewhere.

I have no idea what this means. (?)
The flagship program on MSNBC is The Rachel Maddow Show, whose titular anchor is an out lesbian. The inference being that a network with a lesbian as its public face is somehow less than. And thus the demeaning label.
I have truly never understood why some people--and this is true on both sides of the aisle--think that bad puns like PMSNBC and "Barry Obummer"--are the height of wit.

Renee Elmmers (R-NC) and Craig Melvin of MSNBC -- unreal, the fracturing of reality here. Groping is no big deal in her world.
If it makes you feel any better, Elmers lost her primary so she's not returning to Congress next year.
This plane-truther bullshit is the most inane thing I've ever seen in my life.

Really Ben Carson? REALLY?
Joe Scarborough earned back a smidge of respect from me. Just a smidge.

That, and its flagship personality is a woman. Worse, a lesbian.

Josh Barro. He's on MSNBC as a commentator, but he is savagely funny on Twitter.
Ezra Klein and Joan Walsh too.

Lyndon Baines Johnson was a horrible, horrible racist. And he signed the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act anyway. If that's what someone with private beliefs is capable of, I don't really care how much more moderate or liberal or conservative she is behind closed doors.

Natalie, Halstead, and Dr. Charles the Younger were attempting to do contact tracing on the CRE cases in order to determine the source of the infection. The reason they "had" to extubate him was because they needed to question him to find out where he'd been that was in common with the girl and the other case, which is a little more involved than just yes or no questions. Whether this was necessary for any reason other than drama is debatable.

The best argument against the myth of the scary "liberal media" is any random fifteen minutes of Morning Joe.
And Joe Scarborough is someone I actually used to respect.

Raise your hand if you think ABC, CBS, NBC, PMSNBC and CNN aren't liberal?
Hand.
The Nation and Mother Jones are the liberal media. Those five networks are owned by four huge corporations and are there to sell cars, drugs, investment accounts, and mortgages.

Joy Reid said on Twitter that this was her "Yes, We Can" speech. Joy Reid is right, and I can't say it better than that.

I keep thinking I can't be more disgusted, and he keeps finding ways to do it.

Curt Schilling can't is ridiculous.
Has he paid back Rhode Island yet?
I didn't think someone could have a worse response than the airplane-truther woman, but he managed.

I don't know if I could turn up a clip, but the final scene of It's A Wonderful Life always gets me.
"Mary did it, George! Mary did it! She told a few people you were in trouble, and they scattered all over town collecting money. They didn't ask questions--just said 'if George is in trouble, count on me"--You never saw anything like it."

I had no idea. In one interview that I saw, she did say something about going back to The White House. I was wondering if her husband would be coming too. What are they going to do with Bill, lock him in the basement?
I don't think Bill has any interest in the social duties that go with the position of First Spouse. I can't quite see him being quick to organize the White House Easter Egg Roll, for example. I imagine Bill being Hillary's Eleanor Roosevelt, traveling and advocating for things. It should be interesting to watch.

Eh, I don't know. Chelsea has a family of her own, and it seems wrong for her to have to interrupt her life in order to fulfill some outmoded social role that doesn't really fit into modern society. Michelle has been nothing short of a phenomenal role model, but I can't imagine it was fulfilling for her either. Although I hope whoever moves in next keeps her garden.

Made doubly-so because in a hypothetical Hillary Clinton presidency, the traditional First Lady duties will most likely be done by Chelsea. She did a similar function during the last year of her father's administration when Hillary was off running for Senate.

I'm not even going to be snarky about this. I'm opening myself up to ridicule, but I teared up watching this.
I know she doesn't have any interest in holding office herself, but if she ever does, I will move just so I can vote for her.

Hillary Rodham Clinton: 2016 Democratic Presidential Nominee
in Current Events & Politics
I like him too. I used to live in Virginia, and I voted for him for Lieutenant Governor, Governor, and Senator, and I never thought I'd have the opportunity to do it again.
Or often being taken out of context. There's supposedly some communication to Tim Kaine from the summer of 2015 where she told him he'd be her VP that somehow "proves" the primary was rigged. Except that, you know, the other interpretation is "You will likely be my running mate if I win the nomination."
