Yeah, it’s definitely condescending. Like, he’s implying that she’s being forced to tacitly agreed with him because he’s smart and she’s not.

This exchange makes me want to light my face on fire, even beyond THAT FUCKING WINK.

I like the theory from Fighting Polish. . . above. . . .That she was sort of launched upon him. I mean, I like this Pope, but I’m not obsessed with him, and a lot of stuff he says pisses me off. But, there’s something off about this story. I mean, what’s the likelihood that he even KNEW who Kim Davis was?

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!

. . . .with the clerk and the pope hugging, the pope thanking Davis for her “courage,” and presenting her with two rosaries. . . .

I know. . . .ugh. . . .so gross. And not just her dead father’s fans, but just random celebrity-gossip consumers who seem CONSTANTLY amazed that children look like their parents. It’s unimaginable to me how traumatic it would be for a little girl to see that (or for poor Michelle Williams, for that matter). What…

There is nothing militant about that quote. The words in no way could even be interpreted as bring down white women, being anti-white woman. She was obvs. describing a wrenching divide and injustice. And there is something EXTREMELY non-blamey in the quote, “beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me.”…

In the video, Jimmy Kimmel is actually the one who makes the joke about the emmy win making up for the beauty pageant loss. Davis’s description of the pageant (and her mention of the girl who won!) is hilarious. But it’s Kimmel who makes that one particular joke.

What’s even worse (in this case) is how ALL of them superimpose pictures of her daughter over pictures of Heath Ledger with the headline, “SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HER DAD.” Her dead dad.

Here is the quote from Tubman that Davis included in her speech:

Well that’s something. I’ll cut him some more slack than I was previously feeling.

I KNEW, as I was writing this, that Jon Stewart had said/done something problematic—but couldn’t remember what it was. “Tranny hookers?” Ugh. I feel gross just writing that. Did he apologize though? A straight up apologize and sincere admission of fuck-uppery goes a long way (with me at least). Anyway, thanks for…

And Cecile Richards is the president of an organization that includes hundreds of clinics and allocates millions of dollars to millions of women.

You guys, the House Committee is TOTALLY trying to get to the truth, I mean, just look at the title of the hearings! Their unbiased quest for truth is pure of heart, obviously:

Yeah. . . .I don’t know if there’s any “perfect” number or age gap where it becomes appropriate. . . .Like, once Kylie turned 18 was it suddenly appropriate? Even though she was the same person she was the day before?

I’d like to give him a chance—and, though his appearances on the Daily Show previously were kind of awkward, I could tell he had talent, as well as political acumen. That being said, I was really not a fan of those “discovered” tweets. I’m also not a fan of completely dismissing someone because of a couple…

Nah. His next movie will be about the early life of Barack Obama and the kindly white Harvard professor who told young Barack that he, too, could have a voice. At some point, the professor’s tires will be slashed (by the white son of a white professor from Alabama) because he is helping a black man, but the professor…

I didn’t know anything about this movie, but read about it here.

I hope this doesn’t happen. . . .(though I think it reasonably could). . . . I have this small tiny hope that we are in a “moment”—Matt Damon being a jackass, ALOHA bombing and general outrage, a stronger push to have trans characters um, maybe *sometimes* actually played by trans actors? I don’t know. . . .I just…

I want to start trolling these assholes with Ronald Reagan quotes. And I HATE Ronald Reagan and almost everything he said. But it’s STILL possible to get some trolling in.
