Margaret Sullivan’s media column in WaPo today had the best suggestion for how reporters should deal with Trump and his lies: the “truth sandwich.”

“Congress and the courts created this problem and Congress alone can fix it,” she lied. “The children are not being used as a pawn and we’re trying to protect the children which is why I’m asking Congress to act,” she lied. “The voices most loudly criticizing the enforcement of our current laws are those whose…

Just to reiterate the bullet point of the Texas official being charged with sexual assault. I knew this was fucking happening.

There are three important visuals in this ad: the gun, the kitchen table, and the simple gold cross around her neck.

I just want to note that on top of all the other bullshit involved in these policies many of the families who are crossing the border for asylum are from indigenous communities in central america and may not speak or read Spanish.

Most children under five when frightened and scared in a high-stress situation, like fleeing a war-torn hell country to a new place, probably won’t be able to clearly articulate mom and dad’s legal names.

It isn’t like she can’t afford to go or doesn’t have the support systems in place or connections. She’s just too fucking lazy to do anything that takes hard work.

That’s why Kanye loves him. It’s the idea that anything can happen.

Van Jones: Now once you get the law degree, people are going to say, would you ever run for office?

That post is so tone deaf I wonder if he’s straight up trolling us at this point.

Just want to point out that “what goes on between a man and his wife (woman) is his own private business” has been used to excuse and enable domestic violence for like hundreds of years. It’s a line of thinking that was explicitly fought in the battered women’s movement of the 1970s. Women must make a ruckus to expose…

Yep. As a woman that has been in the exact kind of relationship that dykstra described, when we broke up all my friends basically sided with him because he convinced them that I had been cheating and been crazy this whole time. And then I got the crazy label and that’s hard to shake off.

Hardwick then went on to accuse Dykstra of infidelity

Those qualifiers always make me uneasy. Is the suggestion that, if a man had somehow grown up without any contact with a woman, he would be A-OK with abuse?

If you only abhor something because it makes you think uncomfortable thoughts about the women in your life, I’m not sure you really abhor it at all.

Another clueless dude using the “As a husband, a son, and future father...” BS statement. Commence eye roll.

People have a vested interest in not understanding how gangs and gang violence work, because if we did understand, we’d all have to admit our culpability in their formation.
