Thank you for your honest appraisal and first-person perspective. I struggle with the issue of trans women in sports for this very reason. I truly believe in affirming however a person wants to self-identify. But the biological realities, if completely ignored, run the risk of erasing cis girls from athletics. I think…

Slightly tangentially related, bear in mind that as much as she touts herself a “working class hero” understand that, while she won in both Queens and the Bronx, her biggest margins of victory came from the “gentrified” areas of Queens- Long Island City and Astoria. Crowley did a bit better against her in lower income…

Bartenders are awesome. We lawyers need them after listening to people who have no idea how hard we work or the crap that we put up with trash us because they think it makes them sound cool.

She is my representative. I was a Crowley supporter during the primary campaign. I have the opportunity to speak with him on several occasions, and found him to be a truly decent guy who wanted to do a good job for his constituents. He is a bit of an old-style politician, and perhaps that is no longer what we need. I…

Also “he drinks and he knows things.” I have noticed he hasn’t been drinking much, and seems to know fewer things now.

Me too! Had she done that, and not torched the city, she would have been a hero. Then we would have actually had an interesting setup for the Dany/Jon who-gets-the throne conclusion.

She watched her brother who raped her and sold her off to the Dothraki so that he could pursue his own ambitions for the Iron throne, get murdered. 

This article fails to make the distinction between transgender women and “drag queens.” Transgender women are women 24/7/365. Drag queens treat the female form as a costume with the fact that there is really a man under there as the punchline “Haha just kidding, I’m not really a chick. I just play up the worst female…

I like Harris/Buttegeig better, but Warren/Buttegieg is my close second choice. I want Buttegeig to be the VP candidate SOOO badly, because I would pay to see a debate between two VP candidates from Indiana- one a gay veteran Rhodes scholar, and the other (representing the party that claims ownership of “patriotism”)…

True. I can see kicking a kid out for destructive behavior in the home that creates a danger for others in the home. She described quitting school and someone else said she was dating an addict. Those things alone wouldn’t move me to kick my kid out of the house. Also, she never did those things so there’s that. She…

All the more reason NOT to kick her out. If you kick someone out in those circumstances, where do you think they will turn? To the older heroin addict, who will then proceed to get them hooked too.

When my daughter was having a hard time finding a job, I told her, “as long as I have a roof, you have a roof. I can’t promise that it will be ideal, or even comfortable. But you will never be homeless as long as I’m not.”

As the parent of an adult daughter who hasn’t always made decisions that I would have wanted her to make, let me be the first to say you don’t kick your kids out of the house just because they quit college if you “love them very much.” 

The problem with that is that there are enough people in enough of the electoral hotbeds in this country to hand the election to him. I have said from the beginning that in order for any Trump takedown to be helpful to this country, Pence needs to go first. Because the only thing saving us from the Handmaid’s Tale is…

I think that Gingrich, Starr and Tripp took far more advantage of Lewinsky than Bill Clinton did. Had this stayed private, she would have just ended up heartbroken like many people who sleep with married people hoping that the married person will leave his/her spouse. She would have gotten over that. The true abuse…

That must suck. I have been on the receiving end of infidelity too. In my case, my husband sought the company of prostitutes. So he was 100% the instigator. He called the brothel. He made the appointment. He went to the brothel, etc.

By that logic, no head of state can have sex with anyone. Ever.

Oh hey... Great idea. A Dem president could declare forced birth, misogyny and racism national emergencies and ram through all kinds of reforms.

Additionally, I don’t see how a leader of a movement that is supposed to combat the patriarchy should get a pass for supporting a man who promotes patriarchy.

I loved Miley’s first song. She really has an amazing voice for country/blues. I was blown away by her performance of “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” a few years ago.
