Probably nothing. That’s the smile of a customer service rep who drops it the second the customer turns away.

I feel great ambivalence about Melania. She often seems complicit, but if she truly is being abused she could be acting under coercion.

I mean, you can if you have the right coloring for it. Obama definitely doesn’t, which is why that suit looked so spectacularly bad on him and we still remember it.

I think you might be right. She is clearly physically repulsed by him to the point where she can’t mask it. That looks reflexive.

I pissed in a bidet once. Also very drunk.

Is there any chance we could get transcripts? I can read a lot faster than people can speak...

I didn’t notice him at all during the debate, how did this happen to us? What did people see? Can we please ignore all current and future Joe the Plumbers? Please?

He obviously voted for Trump.

Nothing? Since when does Bobby troll for outrage clicks?

This is good, healthy advice.

Sometimes it’s just like why are you doing this? Jesus would want you to sell flowers and be nice to gay people, wouldn’t he? Why is this worth fighting for? And the school that fought so hard against the service dog: why? Why are you people doing this?

OMG your comment just smacked me right in the face because that’s going to be real omg no

I distinctly remember arguing with my parents several years ago about the danger of giving factually inaccurate, bigoted opinions airtime in the name of being “fair and balanced” because elevating them to the same level as factual, unbigoted opinions legitimized them.

Come on now, you just need a lifelong dedication to Rogaine.

I like it. I was surprised to see it, but these are dangerous times we’re in and we need to keep our eyes wide open.

I started reading this with great interest, actually. I’ve never seen you around here, but I do know a lot of the critical commenters. They, and I, are often critical of both second and third wave feminism, even making some of the same critiques Crispin does. I was disappointed when it became clear that she was just…

Unfortunately, I wasted plenty of time reading. She also says that having sex with a man is inherently patriarchical and anti-feminist, so forgive me if I take her clear provocation as just that: being an all-over-the-place provocateur for the sake of book sales, thus engaging in precisely what she’s criticizing…

Someone at the time argued with me that Linkin Park was better than Led Zeppelin.

Exactly. And do we really believe that she stops to research and consider the implications of sugar and wheat farming techniques every time she has a slice of cake or does any number of mundane, every day things? I don’t. She’s got a book to sell tho, so she needs to get her hustle on.
