Domestic abuse rhetoric has often been built entirely around this idea of the perfect victim, the frail, innocent woman who gets caught up in a web of violence in the household. While such cases certainly do exist, the unfortunate reality is that a hell of a lot of domestic abuse situations are self-perpetuating and

He’s Bob fucking Woodward. If he put it in a book, he can defend it. This guy has gotten the inside scoop on every presidency since Nixon, and his books have a stamp of authenticity that nobody else can match.

Liberal media always reporting about all these republican leaning racist and hate-filled groups on the internet (and in real life) and the public officials who appear to happily be members of these groups.

He needs all of this. And more than that, he needs to start taking responsibility for his health. This man has had to have medical professional come get him and institutionalize him. At some point, it’s on you. And, sometimes you fall off the wagon; lord do I know that you can fall off the wagon.  But at this point,

I get the desire/need to have friends or family around to lean on in hard times. but totally rejecting personal responsibility because your friends weren’t around to babysit you and keep you in check 24/7? fuck that. GTFO.

That bullshit comment happened 2 months ago. If he wanted to apologize it, he could have tweeted about it. He didn’t.

Also add in crushing boredom for long stretches of time, punctuated suddenly and unexpectedly by short bursts of mortal peril.

I thought “Agent Orange” was Trump’s KGB code name?

They should call this Crusty, Dusty and Rusty Clothes for Bitter White Men, because that’s exactly what it is.  

As I heard someone say this week: “The enemy of my enemy is Omarosa.”

Yes, and that horrible man who punched sweet little Richard Spencer is history’s greatest monster. Won’t somebody please think of the white supremacists!?

I’m 59. I started acting recently on a whim after a family friend recruited me for a play. Two community theatre roles later I was asked if I would be willing to audition for a professional theatre company. I only said “yes” because there was no way I would actually get the part.

It is never too late to take up art. Shit, Paul Gaugin was a middle-aged insurance salesman in Paris when he finally said, ‘screw this, I’m moving to Fiji to paint.’

She’s right; I’m a terrible hunter.

Yeah, it’s not our job. White folks need to work this out.

I don’t contest that others will treat them that way, I know this world we live in. But they have every right to identify themselves how they want to, and we should not be calling their cultural identities “bullsh*t” like Gameface did. If Obregon (a Hispanic surname at that) was raised and identifies with her Hispanic

Your take is not informed. Many Latinos and others of Hispanic descent identify with their cultural ethnicities, not their US Census-assigned race. Ask a Guatemalan what race they are and they say Guatemalan. A Mexican’s “race” is Mexican, or they might even choose the region or state they came from. The Census, thus

I still just can’t comprehend how the FLOTUS could have such utterly incompetent advisers that they let her come out with a signature education program with a name that’s nonsensical.  Like everything else out of this family, how is this even real?

My cat’s named Schrodinger. And that’s either the best cat name or it isn’t.

Idk, I can see Chavez’s point about this being cultural appropriation. Especially w/ Rihanna’s statement about the look's aesthetic being “punk”. Not a fashion expert but I don’t think Josephine Baker was thought of as “punk” with her brows (now her secret life as a spy- punk af). But, I might be biased being a black
