Trump, at this point, basically needs a VP with at least two (pref. 3) of the following characteristics: is 1) a woman and/or a POC, 2) has experience in government, 3) pref. has experience w/ national security, like a senator, cause Trump’s a business man so he’s got the economy covered, 4) but no wait, a governor…

Yeah. And I appreciate the hostility towards Marco Rubio. Hearing that man called a “moderate” over the course of six months made me want to put my head through a fucking desk. Sputtering that you NEVER EVER SAID THAT YOU THOUGHT abortion would be okay EVEN IF IT SAVED THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER OR THE PREGNANCY WAS A…

Thank you for this info!

Thanks for all of comments on this. I’m already getting trolled for trying to make this a “race/poverty issue.” I grew up in Alaska and dogs wandered around in neighborhoods there, because we lived in the woods and that’s what owners did (and it was irresponsible. b/c many of the dogs were scary). But I have never…

I didn’t say that we needed to. I asked if we needed to.

Ugh.

Holy shit. That is insane. What part of the country do you live in?

Do we have anyone familiar with Dallas on here? Is this only a problem in poorer communities? I’m assuming that it is—but I would appreciate hearing insight from folks who are familiar with the city and its citizens.

You deserve all of the stars.

I think there’s plenty to criticize Melania Trump for. . . . .particularly her allegiance with a racist asshole. But, when you post a photo of her modeling, all you are doing is saying that modeling is something to be ashamed of. And, particularly, when the photo is one in which much of her body is revealed, you are…

Nah. . . . .I was being sarcastic.

No.

You stated a premise, “Fidel is admired in most of the world.” I said that this premise was not true. Neither what you or I said could be called “an argument” or described as “cogent.”

Fidel is admired in most of the world.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You seem really brave—both for having done what you did and for telling us about it now.

Well put. . . .I do think it’s tricky. Witnessing the slavish devotion towards celebrity bodies w/ perfect breasts, waists, hips, etc. definitely contributed to me hating my body when I was a youngin’ . Maybe things are better now—but I remember some scandalous photo shoot featuring Jessica Biel (then of 7th Heaven)…

Yeah, I guess I can’t tell if they are fat-shaming anybody from these pictures but, if there were (and if they took that photo of that woman’s cleavage to mock her), that is really shitty.

Were they really? That’s awful.

Yeah. . . .I have no idea. I usually refer to myself as a victim—just because “survivor” seems to denote something that I didn’t experience (I didn’t have to fight for my life. . . .). If I “survived” anything, it would be the years of destruction I self-inflicted on my mind and body after being raped. But I don’t…

I would generally agree that bullying is not the right word here. . . . But, I can kind of see Rumor Willis’s reasoning for using the term here—she has been publicly bullied for her jaw before, pretty viciously, so I can see where this incident could fit into that larger narrative for her. . . . .I mean, Perez Hilton…
