I recommend something with a nice white hood.

I’m choosing to interpret the composition of these images as Washington scowling at Trump. The bust of Lincoln also looks displeased.

Right. This particular bit of nonsense strikes me as a way of indirectly attacking Hillary for the fact that Bill has a long record of being a dirtbag. Of course, this is a classic no-win situation - if the woman stays in her marriage she has bad judgment, and if she leaves, she failed by not fighting to keep the…

Would it be reasonable for Hillary to fire Huma because her husband behaved badly? By that standard, few women would be employed.

Did it occur to anyone to roofie this guy? That would have been HILARIOUS. Can’t he take a joke? :/

Good work. Also, how did I know that he would look like this?

There’s also a lot of freakout because it’s non- (even anti-) Patriarchal, hence the panic about a goddess-themed pendant.

Indeed. I’m 100% sure that Jesus wouldn’t look at the situation and say “So, we have the means to prevent suffering, make sure a woman is healthy, and/or make the best of potentially tragic situations, but we aren’t going to do that because a bunch of guys wrote down some rules and those are more important than…

I’m also glad you can trust your OB, but it’s so deranged that a doctor would have to potentially hide things or put a “spin” on the details of your condition in order for you to get the care you need.

I’d guess it’s a bit of both, since that’s “the look” for women in this culture, especially those who are likely to appear in a video about how devoted they are to the culture’s ideals.

Ugh, this makes me so sad. In the past couple of years I’ve become friends with several lapsed Mormons who have left the church for various reasons that have to do with sexuality (either they’re queer, or the rules around marriage and women’s roles have excluded them from the church). I have no patience for these…

It’s the fact that he grabbed and kissed her without permission that is the real problem. In principle, asking someone if they would sleep with you for $10K isn’t so terrible, but since he had already demonstrated that he didn’t respect boundaries, that makes it a creepy offer. It’s not just an exchange of services,…

As a Canadian living in the U.S. I can confidently say that the repeated insistence that America is *already great* and therefore doesn’t need to be, um, *great again* is basically our attempt to prevent a scenario where your nuclear missiles accidentally fall on us because a certain someone overreacts to a mean…

I was going to write a joke about what might you might find if you examined Trump’s hair follicles, but it was too easy.

Another vote for the stylist here. Further, months ago I was giving Melania a pass on all of this because I figured she didn’t choose to have her husband run for president. Poor thing had just found herself a rich buffoon and that was that. But every time he reveals a new level of monstrosity, I hold her more and more…

The photographer who took these images is clearly a professional, and there’s a whole rhetoric and history of the news photographer not inserting themselves in the image. Protesters are another matter. We don’t actually know what the situation is in this image - maybe as another post suggested he’s doing Facebook…

Given that the only reason we are discussing police violence against black people is because people can readily document it on their phones, protest selfies are entirely appropriate. Also, it seems wise to have a documented timeline of your locations and activities during a protest, in case they drag you away.

I guess it’s surprising for such a genius to get caught. :|

“God can do it though a gracious, loving way...he can also do it by cracking a whip!” Yeah, baby.

Well, this is interesting: “By contrast, many female fans of pornography tend to prefer a less explicit variety, and report that it improves their sexual relationships.” I’m not sure what their definition of “less explicit” might be, but my takeaway is that the problem here isn’t porn, it’s men, or at the very least,…
