There is nothing that makes me more ragey than, “they are equally bad,” and I feel real contempt for Sarandon at this point, but yeah, she’s not going to back down because she was supporting the idea that if Trump became president it would ‘burn the whole thing down’ and lead to a rebirth.

Equating primitive to non-European is some colonialist bullshit, and it’s pretty implicit in your post’s wording (albeit probably unintentionally so)

Friendly reminder to my fellow blue state residents: We are not immune. These people are everywhere.

I would be a little hesitant to do it, given I’m Black and female. Honestly, I would wait and see what happens to others before feeling comfortable enough to paint an extra target on my back with law enforcement. I am completely open to changing my mind about that, though.

I know demonizing immigrants sounds like a great thing to many trump supporters, but guys, immigrating to the US (even legally) is difficult, messy, expensive and so so taxing, physically and emotionally. And to be a refugee on top of that, to not really even have a comfortable place to wait out the immigration…

Ugh, no, that’s not correct.

I’m not sure it was sincere. I think they knew pretty well Iraq hadn’t actively been keeping/maintaining in WMD for years.

Spicer admitted that American taxpayers will be paying for the wall 

In the words of noted Palestinian philsopher Khaled Mohamed Khaled, “Congratulations...you played yourself.”

I want to see this so much. It’s exactly the kind of horror movie that makes stupid over-praised stuff like Insidious and The Conjuring look as flimsy and flash-in-the-pan as they are. Horror at its best has always tapped into the terrors of our culture.

Oh, the cities can retaliate. Trump wants tax cuts for his buildings? Sorry, he has to pay retail. How up to date are the building inspections? Tax assessments? How about erecting billboards with facts about Trump, such as the crowds that showed up for the pussy protest but didn’t show up for his inauguration?

Mayor de Blasio decried the executive order as “immoral” and vowed to fight the President tooth and nail.

They fell for the old...”I’m a trust fund baby you can trust me” line. Rookie mistake...

This notion that a place like Oregon (4 out of 10 voters went Trump) is so much more enlightened than some “backwater” place like Ohio (5 of 10 for Trump) is silly and not to be taken seriously.

Exactly. She’s an asshole who choose to trade on her looks to get ahead. Now it’s biting her in the ass. Tough shit. His behavior towards women was well known when she showed up. It’s not like he was unknown quantity. The conditions of her marriage may have changed but she willing entered into this marriage. As for a…

Thank you for this. A woman isn’t lacking in agency just because she’s making decisions you don’t agree with. I might concede that she’s in over her head, but to cast her as someone so blank that she can’t muster up the power to make her own decisions is a disservice to both her, and other women like her. Just because…

I think you maybe missed the point of her op-ed which was, succinctly, that she has chosen to embrace an ignorant, self-obsessed charlatan of a political figure because someone threw an egg at her once.

It seems hypocritical to keep referring to it as an egg and not a chicken.

Stop with the 3M votes. If you take out total CA and NY popular vote, Trump won by 3M votes. That is why we have electoral college. Stop with this nonsense.
