Showing a more recent photo of James doesn’t make his shooting any more justified. He literally looks like a baby in the photo most of the press is using.

Wow. Those are just...something else, aren’t they?

I think a lot of people are ignorant to mental illness red flags as well, which doesn’t help. Many would just write someone off as just “eccentric” or “artistic” if they’re not talking about spacemen coming to visit them and trying to bite their own face. I guess the media depiction of mental illness is behind a…

Like, seriously, surgeon, Surgeon General...did no one think of that? I don’t like Carson and don’t want him to have any measure of power but at least he knows that area...

Ben Carson as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

I get why Trump would think having Ben Carson in his Cabinet is a good idea, but HUD? Why would I hire a surgeon to help on housing issues? Why would I hire a real estate devel... oh hell, never mind.

There’s snark because black and brown people have been telling white people this stuff for ages but, as per usual, white people only get it when it impacts them more personally.

All the while believing that you’re taking a stand against racism by going after someone using the word in a quote rather than the people actually perpetuating racism.

Exactly! How dare you use that word !!!

Baldwin’s reaction is like that republican lady who got all mad at Ana Navarro for saying pussy on the news when she was quoting Donald Trump - same misdirection, same reduction of the word to the single, most recent instance of it’s use while blatantly ignoring the referenced, and far more significant, use.

It’s really not hard to do.

Admittedly, I am the whitest of white ladies, but I appreciate that the model made a sincere and thoughtful apology.

George Takei recently shared a spin on “They came first for the Communists” that I find fitting. It went something like:

The fact that anybody, ANYBODY, thinks this was in any way acceptable is infuriating to me. People were made to give up their lives and leave everything to move there on pure unbridled speculation and fear of “others”. Many had to sell their homes for pennies on the dollar to vultures who knew the people had no other…

But can we talk about that performance by Green Day? I get the feeling that many of the people who watch vapidity like the AMA’s are also of the comfortable middle class set that put several white supremacists in the white house. It’s beyond important that artists keep reminding these folks exactly what they did and…

Tell me about it. Let’s not overlook how the fact that Sen. Peterson is a Black woman impacts this situation. As a Black woman, my ‘tone’ is constantly policed, I’m asumed to be angry or aggressive. I can be right as rain, whispering a question while smizing and still get a comment about my attitude. So ol’ boy can…

Can I just say how much I fucking hate KellyAnn Conway? All of those female Trump surrogates are just the fucking worst. I watch Morning Joe a lot, and having her on there constantly just made me ragestroke every time.

The only acceptable role for Andy Cohen would be as moderator for a presidental debate. For all of his faults, we’ve seen from the Housewives reunions that he always brings receipts and isn’t afraid of calling out fibbers.

seconded.
