Oh, look! She was escorted out of CPAC by security:
Goddamnit. Can’t these women see that even while toeing the party line and using sound bites pre-approved by “their side” that these men don’t give a shit about them? It was so uncomfortable even reading this account that I cannot bring myself to watch it (as someone who has been heckled in crowds before). Also, that…
When you have a group of people (Evangelicals) who’s religious experience boils down to verbally out-christianing eachother to balance out their unbridled spitefulness, it doesn’t matter an additional asshole is faking it as well.
I dunno. Not to be a killjoy - It’s terrific seeing people speak truth and stand up to these soulless minions of Mammon. But the fact is, they are soulless minions. They can’t be shamed because they are in their positions for the very reason that they rose to the top of the dung heap through total lack of shame…
I realize this is the least of our worries, but it drives me insane when Trump responds to his own tweet about one thing to go on about an entirely different topic.
I think there’s another way to look at a possible relationship between white supremacy and mass shooters. It’s less about ideology and more about being “heard.” A white man might seek out white supremacist associations out of a fear and anger that the old systems which privileged them are dying. They’re angry of a…
The only thing Trump admired about Graham was his ability to con people out of their money. I’m tired of him pretending he’s Christian in an attempt to appeal to those idiot evangelicals that ruin the USA.
I just need to vent about this idiotic idea of arming teachers as a solution. While I have tremendous sympathy to those victims and their families who might see this as at least giving them a fighting chance to survive, it’s wrongheaded in so many ways. A military style assault weapon, like the AR-15 is a designed to…
THE ISSUE IS NOT MENTAL ILLNESS. The numbers are clear: the overwhelming majority of these mass shooters are DISAFFECTED WHITE MEN with an axe to grind, usually with Nazi style leanings.
I think the current occupant of the White House has demonstrated that intelligence, integrity, wisdom, competence, maturity, grace and empathy have nothing to do with age. These kids are his and most of his adminstration’s superior in every way.
These few that have been proven to reduce gun violence are a good place to start.
How to solve the gun problem:
So I am on SNAP currently. I only get like ~$80 a month and I need it. It really helps. I am allergic to gluten, my partner is allergic to peanuts. With it, we get fresh fruits and veggies (from a farmers market when we can, local grocer most other times) and get meat from a local butcher that accepts snap, because…
I pointed this out on The Root, but this is exactly how the Capitol distributes food to the districts in Panem. There’s an incident in one of the books where President Snow gets enraged by what’s happening in a district, and the grain shipment comes in rotten and full of maggots, enabling more starvation.
Is it though, at it’s center? As a legal aid attorney who works with welfare recipients, I see two problems with SNAP.
I am pretty sure no one needs your help with this. The information is out there, as many people have pointed out, and it points very clearly to Allen’s guilt.
Well, at least Woody’s PR flacks are now trying to mix it up a bit instead of just cutting and pasting the same shit over and over. You’d think he could afford a team that’s a bit more clever
Comparing the UVA debacle to Woody Allen is ridiculous. They are in no way the same. And using the UVA story to discredit Dylan Farrow is wrong. But the media, it’s about the media! How the two have been handled in the media is also not even remotely the same. Or are you and the writer conveniently forgetting how his…
