Thank you very much, that’s very nice of and very well put. I think I just choose to see it differently. I choose to believe that it was not borne out of fear so much as genuine shock that it happened to such a huge degree in one mass incident and the attendant realisation that this was a time when legislation had…

And the additionally creepy implication that the women of a country are the exclusive property of the men of that country.

And yet our racists and xenophobes aren’t happy with this legislation. Beatrix von Storch, member of AFD* and (I shit you not) granddaughter of Hitler’s Minister of Finance, tweeted that husbands now need to listen very carefully during sex, because a simple no can now turn those poor men into rapists.

Every nation seems to have this disgusting, ethnocentric notion of foreigners “coming for their women”.

Yeah, the reason this is happening is because brown men attacked white women. Obviously there is a problem with foriegn nationals not reapecting women and that should be addressed, but I highly doubt the vast majorty of women in Germany are assulted by foreign men.

Honestly though, with the shit show that is the election constantly in the news, hiddleswift is a welcome distraction sometimes. No shame!

Fair enough, I was just being wary of the trolling set, the victim blaming true believers, and whatever Venn diagram of the two.

While it’s a novel approach I can totally relate to at yet another frustrating juncture, I think it would be difficult to convince anyone in government from police unions to city councils on up that a newly minted officer shouldn’t have access to lethal force. I could be wrong, though, and if something like that made…

why is it a tall order? Isn’t it easier to not give a gun than it is to give a gun?

I feel this deep in bones. Jezebel is the only (semi) sane place on the internet. That’s saying a lot!!

Ok, I have a theory: maybe T. Swift and Calvin just really fucking hate each other??? Like, Calvin has been cheating or some shit and they “mutually” decide to break up, but Taylor is PISSED, so she immediately hooks up with some other bro she knows has a *thang* for her, and proceeds to rub it alll up in CH’s face…

That is a tall order, and I recommend looking on Amazon for a decent flame retarding suit, because if this makes it out of the grey...

Becoming even a cop of the lowest rank requires three years of training and the equivalent of an associate’s degree in my country. Consequently, American cops kill 38 times the amount of citizens per capita each year than our cops do.

Fellow officers should absolutely “police” the actions of their coworkers. At minimum call them out on their bad behavior.

My way: no bullets. You don’t get a firearm until you’re on the job for one year or 2500 hours. You can have a taser and your more seasoned partner can have a firearm. Rookies don’t get/need guns until they’ve proven themselves and have experience.

There are people who say that Muslims are responsible for policing other Muslims. And that “the good ones” should be finding “the bad ones” and reporting them to the authorities. And that when “a bad one” commits an act of terror, “the good ones” need to loudly and repeatedly denounce that act.

As my mom would say: hope in one hand and spit in the other, and see which one fills up first.

I saw this on the news this morning (I live outside of Cleveland). First thought was:

This is art.

Have to say she recovered well there but all the flunkies & toadies around her totally betrayed her expectations.
