Yeah, if that’s the joke. . . . not so funny. Only b/c Thomas and Alito would likely collectively orgasm if Cruz were the nominee.

I hate to say it, but I didn’t get that joke. Because everyone on the supreme court would hate him so much they would vacate? This doesn’t make sense to me—even in humor town. I feel dense. Anyone care to explain?

While I have hated a number of his mis-speakings, he is the one who put same-sex marriage back on the democrats’ agenda. And I will always love him for that.

White woman here, who voted for Sanders yesterday. And I wanted to say that it’s bullshit that someone told you you were voting against your own best interests. It’s condescending, to say the least. And uninformed. I don’t think you or anyone else needs me to say this. But I do hope my fellow Sanders supporters will…

I dislike Lindsey Graham intensely. But, for the doubters out there, I would like to say that I would TOTALLY contribute to your mint julep fund for two (AND ONLY TWO) reasons:

But she believes in the constitution! So, what else can she do but be a republican?

I had the same feeling. I was rooting for Trump to take down BOTH Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. I really fear Marco Rubio being the nominee. So, the whole time, I was thinking, “TELL HIM HE’S WEAK, TRUMP! TELL HIM HE’S SWEATY! YES! YES! SHUSH HIM LIKE A CHILD! DOOOOOOO IT!” I miss Chris Christie.

Love this. And, as long as we’re imagining what the Republicans’ spirit animals are, I would like to gripe about the fact that they have THE ELEPHANT—the kindest and most majestic and smartest of land mammals— as their mascot—while all the dems have is the freaking donkey.

I actually agree—and I find it insane—because an outspoken bigot is the LEAST bad option? I actually find Rubio to be the most terrifying as a potential nominee. Because, unlike Cruz, who makes a special effort to appeal to the fringe (which means he will never win), Rubio has somehow managed to convince people that…

In terms of women’s rights, he is much more terrifying. Trump, while evil, would be unlikely to pursue an aggressive anti-abortion agenda. I don’t he actually gives two shits about abortion. Cruz, on the other hand, seems to be hell-bent on protecting all of the fetuses.

This. All of it. The democrats were really fractured over the filibuster. John Kerry, the leader of the filibuster movement, had been notified of many problematic features of Alito’s record on civil liberties, which is what inspired the filibuster in the first place. Alito’s nomination was openly opposed by the ACLU.…

Which Obama did.

Thank you so much for this. I wish your voice were amplified ^1000000000000000 times.

THIS. So well said. It is extremely unlikely that many REAL sex offenders are walking around their daily lives, thinking, “You know what I am? A SEX OFFENDER.”

Yeah, and she’s making it about her.

Did you watch the first republican debate? One of the moderators phrased a question as if Rubio had previously expressed that he was “okay” with abortion in the case of it saving the life of the mother. Rubio was LITERALLY sputtering w/ indignation that anyone would think he would hold such an unholy position. ME? For…

I like everything that you are saying, but I think our definitions of racism diverge. I’m kind of like, of the camp: judging anybody by their race is racist. That being said, I don’t think that racism against white people is ever harmful ever (for reasons that you have articulated). I want to eat my own face whenever…

As a white woman and a rape victim, I would like to say that you have worded this extremely well. I am perfectly immune to anyone who might say something about my race (other than it hurting my feelings for 10 hours or so b/c I feel like, for just one second, I haven’t been viewed as an individual)—b/c society makes…

Sources please.

No, I personally am fine with her saying shit about white people. But that? It wasn’t about being white. . . . .it was about saying an alleged victim was self-serving, lying, and just seeking attention. Bringing up all the tropes of sexual violence that hinder reporting of sex crimes across races and ethnicities of…
