I’m glad there are no whispers about a Hirono presidential run, because it seems to allow her freer rein to say what we are all thinking without giving a shit about the consequences. She’s beloved in Hawaii and can remain their senator as long as she wants and she knows it. I love that she isn’t afraid to pull any…

Haha, my husband didn’t REALLY know what birth was going to be like until I went through it and was in so much pain I was vomiting and he was freaking out thinking I might die and wanting to murder the anesthesiologist who was trying to argue with me that pain like that after an epidural is to be expected. He had gone…

Every woman’s choice is not inherently good for women. The past few days have proven that women can be willing and/or unwitting agents of misogyny to other women. Chimamanda Adichie also addressed this when she said she refused to perform pregnancy.

I believe there are people over the age of 12 who don’t know how difficult childbirth is. Just a few years ago, a state representative from Idaho named Vito Barbieri asked if it was possible for a woman to swallow a camera for a gynecological exam. There are also men who actually believe that women can “hold”…

Maybe it’s my comprehension but I don’t think she’s criticising Kate Middleton. I think she’s criticising The Man for creating a situation where Kate Middleton has to have her photo taken looking perfect mere hours after experiencing (presumably) what Kiera Knightley has gone through.

Aside from Davidson’s bit (probably written for or with him by Jost & Che) the whole rest of the show was more miss than hit. But the cold open was DREADFUL. This was more angering than tickling. Even Kate’s Lindsey Graham was just disturbing this time. We all know that “comedy = tragedy + time”, and even allowing…

I suspect she’s going to rebrand and emerge as a libertarian firebrand on the speakers circuit. She’d be a perfect idol for Republican women who claim feminism but have no use for other women; who claim victimhood but disparage other victims who aren’t just like herself. Think S E Cupp without the civility or sense of…

Haha, right!?

Probably not him (if the theory that he is some celeb who’s name escapes me at the moment) since the presence would draw more attention to him.

I agree. And even if he is “just some rather reasonably well-off Middle-Class guy from Bristol” the impact his art has had on society and the art world outweighs, in my opinion, his personal circumstances. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I really like the way he has shaken up the establishment. And why can’t…

Well, yeah, the GOP controls every branch of government. Protests have helped. Remember when protesters and lawyers came out in droves to help those affected by the 1st travel ban? Or when people pushed back on the separation of children? Even if Dems don’t have the house getting involved makes a difference. But it…

Built-in shredder hidden in the frame? All of a sudden, I am a Banksy fan.

The problem is that even the worst Democrats (Manchin, for example) count towards who is Majority leader, and therefore who sets the legislative agenda.

Any advice for when you’re not intimidating at all, you just happen to be a woman who’s competent & plain-spoken in a workplace full of easily-threatened males?

It corroborates that she told the therapist at this-or-that certain time. That’s corroboration. It defeats the suggestion that she just made it all up last week.

I’m curious if a Supreme Court judge can be put on trial for this after being appointed. I would certainly hope so.

Bullshit false equivalence. Democrats have actually held some of their own to account, unlike Republicans. 

If you’re not Alaskan, please stop calling her! I’ve been trying all morning to get through to her office to thank her and the phone lines are busy and mailboxes are full. Really, if you’re not a constituent, her office isn’t very interested in what you have to say.

Seriously, while this is a fun thought experiment, unseating a successfully nominated and approved SC Justice for actions prior to being on the court is a tough win, even under the most ideal of circumstances.
