Me too. One thing I keep in mind is that Jon Stewart’s show was abysmally sexist for its first many years. Only in the last few did he start to get it.

How is it extra cautious to shoot people?

I disagree that there is no good argument against them. The arguments in support of body cameras might outweigh arguments against them, but the concerns about providing police with even more ubiquitous surveillance of over-policed communities are real.

I don’t think it’s shrewd at all. They already made it perfectly clear that it was about politics. Now Obama should have picked someone that would have galvanized democrats to vote, and a person of color or a woman whom republicans would have looked extra bad stymying.

WTF OBAMA JHAVE YOU NOT LEARNED ANYTHING IN EIGHT YEARS?!?! You seemed like a sharp guy...

Yeah George Bush being a blithering idiot didn’t stop him from being actual president for 8 years....

Hopefully she doesn’t say anything but makes this face:

Do you mean ‘inspirational’?

Yes.

I don’t understand. This comment was much clearer than the original post. I have no idea what point the original post was even trying to make, much less any arguments in favor or against it.

Deferred action is also a decision not to deport someone, so that’s true. But that’s not the basis of the lawsuit, because the states don’t really have standing to challenge that decision, which is entirely a federal power. Whether the states who sued have standing even to challenge the deferred action and work permit…

Deferred action. Yes. But the legal question in that litigation is about providing a temporary administrative benefit - a work permit. It’s not about just declining to deport people, which Obama certainly hasn’t done, so it hasn’t been in the courts.

Nah, he could totally stop deporting people. What’s Congress going to do, pass a law? I’ll believe that when I see it.

Yes, because it’s about what issues they champion, what they fight for, more than just how they vote on issues that they aren’t driving. In this case, that seems to be pretty determined by gender.

I’m not sure about the ‘hidden’ part.

Who said anything about hard-core republicans? Unfair treatment of female politicians is hardly a partisan thing. I think Palin is also a victim of misogyny but it’s very different from Clinton’s.

TRUTH.

No I don’t think so. That’s what people might tell themselves, but it’s pretty hard to separate. And the more gendered language you throw around, the more it becomes clear that a lot of what they don’t like about her is that she’s a woman.

Cher is great.

Those are not the only women’s issues, by the way. But it’s still a fair description.
