When I lived in Russia a few years ago, a man attacked me and attempted to pull my pants off in broad daylight in a subway station in full view of a cop and the cop did nothing, even as I kept yelling “stop” in every language I knew, including Russian. I had to punch him hard a few times to get away while the cop just…

Them smack them in the head with the bowl and tell them the bruise is a self-inflicted wound and/or hoax by the Chinese.

I don’t think he realizes that Putin probably wouldn’t let him just fade away. Putin likes to tidy up the loose ends.

The whole “Putin is more virile and Anerican than Obama” bullshit that Fox was shoveling resulted in their base electing Putin’s bottom bitch. And yet tbey still quote Reagan constantly.

Putin’s also using Syria to destabilize Europe. The bombing campaign which forces refugees into Europe, igniting racism, etc. is all part of his big plan.

His friends have said he’s fully aware of what he’s doing in terms of where his information/leaks are coming from; this is supposedly all a desperate Hail-Mary on his part to destabilize enough nations that want him so he can simply slip out of the Embassy and retire to some quiet corner of the world in the ensuing…

So can we all just admit at this point that Assange is just Putin’s tool to wreck democracy?

This is why I laugh at the sad people smugly saying Bernie would have won if he had gotten the nom. He never had this smear cannon pointed in his direction. He would have buried under 20 tons of shit, and the fact that a few ounces were true (more ounces than HRC) would not have helped at all.

My father who taught me to love science makes jokes about climate change not being real. I cannot tell if he is just fucking with me or serious.

I have a Tea Bagger cousin who insists that there is more ice at each cap than every before and the vast majority of scientists don’t believe in climate change.

If it were a man being raped he’d care and call it rape. But women can’t be raped, cause we’re not people. Just broodmares for the taking.

Sadly, it’s not surprising at all. For people like him, rape is “just sex.” They don’t (or don’t want to) understand that it’s a violent crime committed against one’s will.

This guy basically sounds like he doesn’t believe in the concept of rape. It’s angering, but not surprising, that he occupied the bench for so long considering. I guess you don’t actually have to believe in the laws or the rights of citizens to be free from sexual violence to be a Canadian judge.

But liberals are smug and condescending when they point out these people are idiotic fucknuts.

The first thing my fiancé and I did when we moved to Washington was move our voter registration. Literally sitting in an empty apartment, filling out voter forms that we got from the public library. Neither of us have any warm feelings for Mississippi, and part of making Washington our home for us was to immediately…

My point is more that people used to be ashamed to be the “dumb kid” who got held back because they can’t read or do math. But as there were fewer and fewer negative consequences to being stupid, people started feeling like it was okay to be proud of their ignorance. What’s the point of trying in school if you’ll pass…

Exactly. I pissed off my niece’s fiance for pointing out that the GOP did indeed resist Obama every single step of the way. And pointing out how the treatment Trump is getting is incredibly hypocritical for them to complain about. Since he hadn’t read about it on news he sees, it must not be true.

This “intellectual elitism” stuff that conservatives keep throwing at me is really starting to feel like gaslighting. Like I shouldn’t display my own intelligence because I am a woman and a liberal. Kind of mostly feels like the former, actually. Hate it.

I teach rhetoric (so, so fun this time of year) in college, and I can tell you that kids of all political ideologies struggle so hard with having to provide evidence. We’ve done so much to decimate our education system and to promote the idea that educated people are elitist snobs. When faced with determining a…
