Yeah, I think it’s been well established that if Comey wants something out there, he’s not letting procedure and guidelines get in his way. This stinks like him going back through the record and trying to put a more pro-active gloss on his actions. Like, he probably completely forgot making that “throwing shit at the…

Given how much damage the Clinton email shit had and how little she actually lost by? Yeah, I think it would have mattered. A lot. We’re talking four states decided from a bit over a point to less than a quarter of a point. This was the difference between winning and losing. The high number of third party votes? Yeah,…

Theory is that mediocre males surround themselves with other mediocre males so as to not be outshined and are resistant to change for the same reason.

Not totally on topic but related, this study shows that when gender quotas are imposed, it works to remove mediocre males overall from power, thus improving the quality of men in power as well as giving women a seat at the table. Death to the mediocre male. Theory is that mediocre males surround themselves with other…

Remind me of how long W served in the Senate. Or Reagan, Carter, Ford, Bill Clinton, or H.W. And then please remind me of why you ignore her time as SecState and her decades of public service and leadership, ok?

Disagree with you on one point. During her term as Secretary of State, she was very popular. Popular enough that there was a lot of talk that Obama should have/was going to replace Biden with Clinton on the 2012 ticket. But once she left the office and Republicans had a new target to put on the Clintons, they dragged…

Did you attend her speeches/rallies? She did talk like this. She was amazing, and still is.

Did you ever go to her speeches? This was the person who spoke. I went and wept - she hit all the marks for me, and I was emotionally moved, as was her audience.

With all due respect for my fellow Democrats, She does need to run again in 2020. Why? The environment. She not only had brilliant ideas for the planet, she was the only one with any ideas at all. People really, really need to stop going on charm and instead, actually read the campaign websites. Clinton’s ideas could…

Other than the slogan “new blood,” why do we need new blood in the office? Hillary has experience, she’s measured, brilliant, understands policy backwards and forwards. New blood got us Trump.  

Eh, it’s not really a clear line. But I think you’re making a really good point. I’d consider the kind of makeup she’s wearing to be basically on the same level as what a lot of her male peers are wearing for public appearances.

Can somebody who knows about makeup help out poor makeup-not-understanding me? Is there a clear line between “show makeup” that men and women both wear when making public appearances in the entertainment industry and “makeup makeup” of the sort that all women in our society, but not men, are conventionally expected to…

I really don’t think it matters much. I think the point is to normalize a bigger range of female beauty. Not to take some weird ascetic stance that requires a perfectly pure and 100% makeup-free face forever and ever. Even to SOMETIMES wear no makeup can be a big deal. Even to wear extremely minimal makeup can be a…

no dude i am totally with you. nothing in that list even screams MAKEUP at me tho, which was the “proof” that she’s going back on her stance. and you’re right even if she did wear some some days i would not care.

And even then! Eyebrow filler does not seem like a huge big deal to me. Man, I just really, really, really wish it was more normalized for female celebrities to just not really do much makeup and have that be just whatever. And to still have them celebrated for their beauty. We don’t do this shit to men!

here’s the list of products her makeup artist uses “sometimes”:

You know? I’m with Alicia Keys on this. I think it’s important for there to be women out there—especially famous women who are valued, in large part, for their beauty—who are deliberately NOT wearing makeup, and who are talking about the cultural implications of that publicly. It doesn’t really bother me that, okay,…

If knowing that a person has a trans history would be a deal-breaker for someone, then, in my opinion, it’s up to that someone to announce that kind of deal-breaker (and all their other deal-breakers) up front.

This. I’m no prude and have no issue with porn, but when kids/ teens are now being introduced to “sex” as violent, demeaning gang bangs, rough DP and things like “watch him wreck this virgin slut”, thanks to thr combination of a lack of sex education and the incredible availability of free online porn (where the…

It’s “coercion such as lies and verbal pressure” so it’s not limited to the typical “you’d sleep with me if you really loved me” but includes things like “if you don’t, I’ll tell everyone you did anyway” or “my dad knows your dad and he will be very sorry to hear that you’re getting group fucked by all the frats.”
