The GOP: You need to buy a Gun

I used to think Boomers at least protested Vietnam because of sound moral reasons.  Now I’m just convinced they were a bunch of fucking cowards that would have protested fighting the Nazis.

It’s a weird world we live in where the worst thing you can be is a racist, but since it’s a thought crime to do a racism, all you have to do is extend the goalposts of what a racism is to the point where nobody can ever fulfill it.

This. After all the Me Too stories came out, some friends and I were sitting around at a bar talking about various times in our lives that white women had weaponized their tears against us in the workplace and accused us of sexual assault or making unwanted advances. There were seven of us and we all had more than one…

100% this. Emmit Till comes to mind. But we will never know the full number of black men and women who have died because of false accusations at the hands of white folks. To this day that tally is still rising.

My biggest annoyance with this story is the total lack of acknowledgment of the history of white women falsely accusing black men of rape and then getting random black men killed because of their lies.

Reminds me of an article that quoted a woman in Florida shortly after the shut down began. She said “He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting.” Let that sink in for a minute. A woman voted this man into office thinking his main responsibility was to hurt a segment of the population she didn’t like. This…

“We wanted all of our kids to grow up learning that fairness, justice, equality, and truth were important virtues. Now they all believe that shit and we have no idea where they’re getting it from!”

The difficulty is proving malice. The leader of the Proud Boys is suing the SPLC for libel and dude is going to get grilled and roasted during discovery - there are too many tapes out there. This sounds like a Trump trap. He would love to sue newspapers and why not bankroll this kid through one of his ‘donors” and…

I think, given the state of things these days, that we can be reasonably sure this effort is being bankrolled by some wealthy GOP donor looking to keep this fiasco front and center of Trump voters.

I LOVE when we get definitive proof that everyone has always been exactly as dirty minded and ridiculous as we are now.

All this week, I’ve dealt with the fallout of a co-worker who has sent me aggressive and frankly cruel comments online regarding my politics. Despite having only three interactions with him, the anxiety and isolation it’s created is sufficient enough to have left me feeling, multiple times throughout the week, that I…

He wanted me to pull it together, and because of the scope of the job, he knew it would take a long time.

Hi all I have good news!!!

Shelter Cat Update!

I got a little frustrated when he kept talking about how disappointing it was that Dr. Lee wouldn’t treat his nose all at once, but that he had to come back. . .”Oh, I’ve come all this way. . .” after you ignored her order to stop taking blood thinners for 2 weeks before coming in. Worried about what that would do? The…

The words ‘courage’ and ‘toughness’ and ‘guts’ are thrown around routinely in pro sports, but all those apply in spades to Lindsey Vonn and her co-competitors. The unbelievable speeds they generate on skis on seemingly vertical surfaces and slopes of ice has to be witnessed to be comprehended.

The reason the FLDS of that particular group dress and wear their hair the way they do is because their (jailed) prophet, Warren Jeffs, dictates it.  Every detail of it, from what I understand.  

Really looking forward to how she won’t be convicted & will end up being interviewed by Savannah Guthrie and portrayed as the real victim. I cannot imagine the state accepting a plea down to Manslaughter.

The defense is willing to consider some very harsh community service.
