BEST COMMENT!

This really articulates feelings I’ve had, especially since the election, well. Just a sad hollowness that is hard to describe in words. When my husband asks me what’s wrong, as well meaning as he is, he just can’t understand. You just have to say “I feel sad today.” I’ve tried to explain, and he gets it in an…

So, I live in North Dakota. My dad is (unfortunately...) a very staunch Republican. My dad got his absentee ballot and voted for Heidi. That should tell you something about Cramer.

I live in Fargo, ND - and it is RAPIDLY gentrifying.  A new “luxury” apartment building goes up seemingly every week, when all we need is actually affordable housing.  It drives me crazy, because... what CAN you do about it???

This is like the dumbest thing to be pedantic on, but I’m pretty sure he’s removing her garter, not giving her a foot rub. Garter “auctioning” was a big thing back in those days, not so much any more.

I just... know Heitkamp is going to vote for him, since she’s in a heavily Republican state and up for reelection this year.  I want to be proven wrong so, so badly.

Seriously!!!! It’s such a dumbass thought to be like “oh I can’t take this money and ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE from this rich person who is literally doing nothing with it, because it comes from a BAD PERSON!”  Uhhhhh yeah, you can?  Bleed ‘em dry, baby, as long as you’re actually using it for the right reasons!

YES to Jason Isaacs! I love him.

Holy hell, I didn’t know this.  This is fucking chilling.  But horribly unsurprising.

Yes, under the very thin guise of “treating everyone equally”.  Because it’s so hard for heterosexual couples to marry....

I’m sorry, this is Debbie Downer, but I hate sexualizing breast cancer.  Why do we constantly do this? Why do we have to make cancer “sexy”?

Not only that, but Dumbledore very likely WOULD have let this happen... he was actually pretty awful and let a few actually terrible things happen “for the greater good”. Source: I was embarrassingly into the HP books as a kid...

I can tell you for a fact, bullies do not remember it. I’ve had people who were legitimate assholes to me in high school try to come up to me, 10+ years later, and act like we were good friends. Fuck off, dickhead, you may not remember, but I certainly do.

Oh my god, yes. Or “you only watch the biased news channels!!!” nevermind the fact that a) I don’t watch much TV, actually, and b) the majority of them literally only watch Fox fucking News...

Ughhh, right??? How have the rest of us not caught on???

Hmm, sorry! The way it came off in my interpretation of it sounded like a lot of Deadspin commentators who gripe about “politickin’ in my sportsball”. I apologize for misreading!

Oh my god, seriously, though.  Logic is not some people’s strong suit.

Definitely. I try to start out with even-keeled, measured responses like this most of the time... but I generally just cut off political commentary by them immediately when it starts, literally by telling them “if you appreciate my company and still want me to come around and visit, I will not talk politics with you.”…

Thank you so much.  As dumb as it sounds, it means a lot to hear that! <3

This is a sports blog, and what they wrote about relates to sports.  What’s not to get? God FORBID there be politics in your sports blog!
