I’m kind of wary of all this unity, given that Hitler used the Berlin games as diplomatic cover for the run up to the Holocaust, and Putin used the Sochi games as diplomatic cover for the run up to taking back Ukraine.

Maybe they (foolishly) think that the church should practice what they preach and include them, an opinion which is shared by a significant and ever-growing number of those devout followers. This is how those kinds of change happen. A beloved gay teacher is fired for being gay, some parishioners protest, and the…

It’s still possible to pay the bills by copy editing? I did not know that. I’d long since given up.

Sigh, there’s a reason that the AP updated their style guide during the campaign to allow “dumpster” to be written in lower case, that reason being the sudden spike in the usage of “dumpster fire.”

It is possible to care about more than one thing at a time. Just because it’s a given that Trumpistas are corrupt and violent does not mean the media should not keep calling attention to it and pushing back, for god’s sake. That’s how this insane shit gets normalized.

For God’s sake, he didn’t just keep Trump from reading too much Breitbart. All the classified information that Trump has been ignoring in favor of watching Fox goes through the staff secretary. That is, in fact, an extremely important and influential position, all the more so because it is usually under the radar.…

That they tried to create deniability by linking her to a domestic abuser is such a perfect exemplar of the complete and total incompetence of this administration, even more so than the misspelled SOTU tickets.

Because the GOP spent years and tens of millions of dollars convincing everyone that Hillary Clinton was careless with classified information, and yet the guy who is literally in charge of the classified information that Trump sees does not have a proper security clearance because of his history of domestic violence.

Why do you feel the need to ask why someone feels the need to point out that almost every story about this man omits the most important point?

Yeah, I didn’t phrase that very well, as I meant she was the reason he was still there.

Yet another story about Rob Porter that ignores the most important point, which is that his history of domestic violence came up during his vetting, which prevented him from getting a security clearance, and yet he was the person in charge of handling Trump’s information ANYWAY.

I am reasonably certain that the vast majority of people that read that Quincy Jones interview did not think that the revelation that Richard Pryor fucked Marlon Brando was intended to defame Richard Pryor in any way whatsoever.

It is remarkable to me how many people have taken a line that was intended to show how self-absorbed and arrogant the character of Hannah Horvath was completely out of context. Sure, Lena Dunham can be problematic at times, but the amount of hate directed at that one line is ridiculous, given that it was very clearly…

What everyone seems to be ignoring or minimizing is the fact that these accusations were serious enough that they prevented him from getting a security clearance. Even this article, which at least mentions that he only has an interim clearance just skates on by that fact.

Yeah, that old joke about how sex is like pizza in that even bad sex is good?

Yeah, we’re still talking about Hillary’s 30,000 missing emails, but hardly anyone seems to remember that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld deleted 22 million emails from the private server they used to discuss the war.

Because that would require effort beyond their supervisor letting a young, attractive, female drug company rep offer him a great price with some perks thrown in for him personally.

This law is broken by young and old, rich and poor, male and female, black and white, yet it’s pretty much just the brown folks that get arrested for it.

Yeah, and also all the jaywalkers, fuck those people.
