My huge issue is it’s telling dictators (looking at you Duterte and Erdogan) their actions are fine by us. Coming from the party that accused Obama of going on an “apology tour” it’s incredibly weak.

Tillerson, like his master, is clearly a creature of no moral compass beyond “deals.” The notion that our lead diplomat is cheerfully making a case for embracing strongmen and dictators, that our policies shouldn’t be dictated by our values, is, well, frankly nauseating, if unsurprising coming from an oil magnate who…

They just want carte blanche to do whatever the fuck they want to/in/with foreign countries, without having to answer for it.

High five! Major depression here, along with other various pre-existing conditions. I’m on ACA insurance, so idek what I’ll do.

I am literally shaking with fear and rage. My bipolar disorder will cause any premium I pay to increase by 208%. I ALREADY can’t afford the premiums.

“In The Handmaid’s Tale, women’s rights are gradually, slowly stripped away. As one character says, ‘We didn’t look up from our phones until it was too late”

Yes, but you need to complain to the airline, not the person seated in front of you. Remember two things:

I give it six months before we’re all just stuffed in dog crates with shredded newspaper inside and stacked in the hold next to our luggage.

Well she lost, so great stratagem there.

This was exactly the problem with a lot of the Hillary supporters when faced with the surge of support for Sanders. God forbid that people have the temerity to actually support the candidate whom they agree with most. Nope, it was Hillary’s Turn, and anyone who said otherwise was a sexist shithead. As far as they are…

But...that’s not really why a lot of people voted for her?

When did I get the feeling? When Obama made her Secretary of State in 2009.

One, you can’t just rely on someone to be the inevitable candidate, just because people think it’s their time or because people feel like it’s the time for the first woman president.

Also, when the Cubs won the world series. that was a warning that things were happening that normally would be impossible.

As soon as she was nominated. I liked the things Bernie said, but I mainly voted for him because Hillary was a candidate who had been dragged through the mud for 20+ years and who was going to have an uphill battle no matter who she ran against.

It was when my progressive friends on Facebook all came to the same collective realization that we were voting for Hillary not because we liked her but because she was our only bulwark against fascism. And when my libertarian friends on Facebook pushed toward Johnson because “fear is not a reason for voting.”

As…

For me it was when I worked hard to bring my Bernie-supporting husband over (not because she was a Democrat but because of her strengths) and realized that she was neck-and-neck with *Trump*. I remember asking my husband, “even if she wins now, who could she possibly beat in 2020?”

When did y’all start to get the feeling that she could lose?

A sport where girls peak in their late teens, requiring them to give up their childhoods to train like adult athletes, and spend a lot of time one-on-one with over bearing “my word is law” type coaches leads to systems of abuse? You don’t say.

And in an affidavit Dantzscher submitted in order to get a Michigan judge’s gag order lifted, she added that she has been informed that USA Gymnastics’ attorneys had reached out to her former boyfriends to “dig up dirt” on her and ask questions about her sexual history as an adult.
