Those who use their own children or other female family members for the basis of their objection to crimes against women are also telling the world that they are incapable of empathy beyond their own genetic kin. The “As the father of two daughters I find this offensive” gaggle of apologist pundits demonstrated during…

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if for once, someone who said something really stupid and wrong simply said; “What I said was stupid and wrong” instead of trying to hedge it, justify it, double down on it, pretend the words meant something else, or otherwise piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining?

No no, you see instead of being racists or Nazis, they call people racist and punch Nazis- which is just as bad if not worse, if you subscribe to the mindset that we could all get along if everyone would just be polite and respectable.

Ya he’s a real security “expert”:

they believe he then tried to make it look like his victim was trying to frame him for the crimes.

“What, little old me? The Russians? Oh, you mean those Russians. Well, darnit, I plumb forgot- yes I did talk to them. Silly me, oopsie-daisy Aunty Maisey!”

Ya maybe Congress should have listened to Coretta Scott King by way of Elizabeth Warren and saved themselves the embarrassment of a self-perjuring AG.

What were they going to do? He lied, to Congress, under oath, on tape, about a really grave matter, when the intelligence community already had proof of those contacts. The lack of wiggling here has everything to do with the lack of wiggle room and nothing to do with principles or GOP willingness to throw cabinet…

Ya I’m not buying this “aw shucks” routine denying that he lied knowingly; there needs to be an independent investigation on Russia and Trump, and also on his perjury here; he would have known about the Russian interference as a member of Congress before he spoke to this Kislyak dude, since they were briefed in…

“When Shillingslaw said the player made the request at a salon and spa while getting a massage, Coach Briles wrote, “Not quite as bad.”

“stealth Shariah” lol.

I think a great deal of the population already interprets “religious freedom” as code for christians being able to discriminate against various minorities, not as the principles of secularism and equal respect for minority faiths the founders clearly intended.

First, the only reason not to answer such a straight-forward question as “is Islam a religion?” is if the answer is “no”. Second, if Islam isn’t a religion, it’s pretty hard to imagine on what possible grounds the other two abrahamic religions could be. Third, to refuse to recognize a religion or to purposely conflate…

Thanks- that’s a great report from TRMS.

Okay, so I don’y really get this; Trump’s administration is under investigation for its ties to Russia, and specifically 1) financial ties (hiding/laundering money) with Trump’s business and 2) over possible collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives on election interference. So he selects Tillerson for…

Wow, this sounds like she’s (I’m assuming this was dictated by the head bitch) talking to a bunch of her brainwashed, terrified-stupid cult members. I guess when one runs a cult, one forgets what one sounds like to normals with normal, adult comprehension and critical thinking skills. These are the words of a bully…

Perfect summary/gif

It’s exactly like that. I’ve worked for a long time with sexual assault victims, and I find it kind of rich that all these people are suddenly very vaguely interested in sexual violence in Europe. Gee, what’s that about?

When I lost my cellphone a few years ago (without a back-up phone list: lesson learned) Most of the numbers I knew from heart were grade school and high school friends I’d dialed on the rotary; you can’t help memorizing numbers you dial on a rotary. I managed to track down every far-flung friend by calling their…

Remember that faint ring a phone would make when you hung up really hard?
