Can’t wait to see Baraka’s response to this. He/She walks around carrying Bernie’s jock-strap all day inserting him into every response.
A negative Bernie Sanders post? Have I entered the Bizzaro world?
You don’t know what kept them from speaking up. It’s not the same level of seriousness as sexual assault and by acting like people are saying that it makes you a disingenuous. I have been creeped on plenty of times in my life by people who I didn’t have the power or courage to stand up to - like a boss, older male…
I’ve been lurking on Splinter for years and Baracka is the weirdest thing I’ve seen here. The other day he raged at someone for being a no-effort non-contributor, despite the fact that he breathlessly posts the exact same comment on every single article.
If it’s schtick, he’s really really committed to it. I’m leaning more towards the psychologically unhealthy individual truth seer end of the spectrum. But I have to say, while he’s always got a bit of the old testament prophet delivering The Word to the sinners about him, he’s really ratcheted up the proselytizing…
Quit dodging the question though. ARE you Susan Sarandon?
Bill is one of the many reasons I don’t have hbo.
Last paragraph is spot on. PSA to dudes -if you go nuts defending a man’s actions that women have a problem with, we all just assume you do the same things.
The guy who dated Ann Coulter has a sordid past? No...
I’m just going to call hamburgers “beef discs” now.
Obviously as logical beings who have no emotions (ew emotion, those are for women) men would immediately understand and reply, “oh, I’m sorry my dear, I had no idea you didn’t enjoy me grabbing your ass and smelling your hair, I see now that’s a clear invasion of your space at the very least, I shall correct this...…
I just finished watching last night’s episode and needed a place to vent about it!!
I wish I could be surprised that this was a Bill Maher take. You know, it’s very nuanced, very well thought out: “So what if you don’t like being touched? I don’t care! Shut up and never speak, woman!”
Likelihood Bill Maher has creepily touched people, 99.999...%
Patty would be fine. Disk sounds like something you throw, not eat.
Can I just say I love how incensed militant carnivores get about this shit? I’m not vegetarian so I have no dog in this fight but I just love watching people get super riled up and take these absurd principled stands about the food other people eat. “How date you impugn the hamburger by trying to associate it with…
I’m not one of those people who think regulations are bad, but when I look at things like this I’m like “c’mon, do you really need to spend time on silly crap like this?” who in this day and age would not know a “veggie burger” isn’t made of meat?
Not necessarily. Words evolve over time to encompass whatever definition, and variations of, that society applies to them. Look up what “burger” means. Not “hamburger”, but just burger.
I don’t get the meat lobby’s endgame here. Okay, you can’t call it a veggie burger anymore...do they expect consumers currently buying these products to snap their fingers, say “Ohhhhh, darn! They beat me!” and go order a hamburger?
