But he’s the first songwriter ever to get it and has been in the race for a really long time, so it seems weird that he would get it now just to make headlines. Also it almost always goes to a European white dude anyway.

A lot of Dylan’s songs about women are really different, and of course as a non-fan you don’t need to listen to them but the theme is basically that he has one foot out the door and reflects fondly on his lovers. Just Like a Woman really doesn’t fit with his vibe and it’s shitty that such a bad song became so popular.

Incorrect use of that phrase, no?

Do you believe that being a rapist is something that some men are just doomed to become? That no instruction and education from the start of one’s life can change?

An attorney for Roberts, Scott Rosenblum, told the Associated Press thatwhatever happened at the apartment was consensual, adding, “And I think we have what I would call objective evidence to support that.”

Reread the OP’s last sentence, it’s dripping with irony.

Sorry attempts at sarcasm aside, this is a bewildering situation.

re the “blow up the school” thing, is there a source other than Breitbart or its ilk that confirms this?

You shouldn’t rely on Breitbart for your news, just saying

Honey this is jezebel. If they’re using male pronouns in an article about a transman it means he has transitioned into a male identity. Do even just a little research about this thing you hate so much.

Literally, how embarrassing for you!

Look we know you’re just itching to say nigger. Go ahead and do it because I promise no one here will think less of you than they do already.

A+ job taking what the person you’re responding to seriously, instead of understanding that they were making fun of you

Just because you’re ignorant of the phrase “people of color” doesn’t mean it isn’t a valid, preferred term.

Some trans men do. Including some who have legal identification that match their preferred sex, making them men in the eyes of the law (and someday in the eyes of just everybody).

Agreed, plus they seem like a genuinely good team. The property brothers are too shmaltzy and have that creepy religious thing going on.

Oh honey. The “1" thing is so overplayed and embarrasses everyone. Not that you’re making a good case for yourself anyway, but you’re best off avoiding super lame things that 2012 nerds thought was funny. Unless you’re approaching 40, then it’s just not your fault.

Yeah, do everyone a favor and just don’t vote. This privileged “lol let’s watch the world burn” bullshit is immature and we’re all better off if people like you just stay out of politics in November.

I mean none of those things are contested here, that’s what any Iowan Democrat would have pushed for as well. He’s done little in favor of women in his tenure and this supreme court nonsense is showing a lack of the initiative he’s always touted. Quip all you want about mowing lawns or whatever the hell, I’m just…

longtime Iowan here. Grassley’s sister taught at my high school for 50 years. They are are nothing if not a dedicated family (but seriously, that’s the only “accomplishment” I ever hear about Grassley even among his supporters. Guy answers his emails!)
