This is exactly why MAGA was such a destructive slogan. It presumed that a) America WAS great at one time and b) because of changes in society, America was no longer great. And the unspoken parts were a) that time was the 1950s when women mostly stayed home and were expected to do all these things for their men and b)…

Crime won't bring him down. Someone needs to be investigating the kids to keep them from trying to pick up the mantle. None of them will be good at it, but Ivanka and junior could probably win seats in Florida and still fuck things up worse than the dipshits that are already there. 

Wish there was a way to guest op these blog posts. There’s a lot to be mad about, but disparaging a study without actually reading or understanding it just creates confusion around academic inquiry for folks who don’t or can’t read scholarly articles and dissect the methodology and results... :-/

I think that’s right. You could absolutely explain the results in the paper as society punishing women for being heavier and men for being lighter, and that within heterosexual married couples, both husband and wife are more obsessed with the woman’s weight. It’s not a surprising result, but I think that the language…

It’s going to come down to

“But Hilary just didn’t INSPIRE me to vote."

Logical, non-Jeebus loving, woman supporting Americans are fucked.  

Calling AOC a “terrorist” while supporting insurrectionists and treason is RICH. If something happens to AOC...and I’m being dead serious here, arrest this troglodyte on the spot. She’s doing the exact same shit she did to a teen who survived school shooting.

ehhh ehhhh no. I think being edgy in public is one thing - but private messaging someone to kill themselves? That has been “not cool” for quite a while.

Except that Chrissy would direct message Courtney Stodden, in private, and tell them to kill themself. That is not edgelord, troll humour for the masses. That is private, ghoulish behaviour. And she directed her insults to Stodden for a period of about eighteen months. That is persistent harassment toward an…

I graduated from high school with a bitch who used to make lists of people who should commit suicide and pass them around for “feedback”. We were in middle school but I can’t forget it.

Serves her right. That entire party knew it was cuddling a rattlesnake to its bosom and won’t put it down no matter how many times it bites.

The last few years have really made me appreciate basic competence in ways I never thought I could. She’s clearly far above the basically competent bar, and it’s quite refreshing. The crush/stanning though is more than a little weird, right?

This is presumably what the “smokey eye shadow” comment is referencing. The right got REAL mad about Michelle Wolf complimenting Huckabee Sanders’ smokey eye, claiming that it was an attack on her appearance.

Yes. Yes this is a joke. For absolute clarity, I don’t give a fuck about Jen Psaki’s makeup or wardrobe or hair style. I care that she can and does make the case for her boss’s administration and shades the rightist shills with apparent ease and perhaps some subtle understated joy.

Psaki does an excellent job. If one of the Black women floated for the job shut shit down the way she does, I wonder if members of the press corps would publicly “root” for her “warmth” or decide she is “abrasive” actually. 

she impresses me tremendously with her ability to think quickly on her feet, a trait which I wish I had but don’t. The montage that John Oliver showed of her rebuffing questions about Biden raising the migrant cap was dismaying but I guess not surprising that she would use that same razor sharpness to answer sincere…

my favorite hyperbole in this context is “EVISCERATES”, always makes me LOL

She’s good at shutting down people intelligently that are ask her questions in bad faith. A definite talent.

Psaki looks like a fucking genius compared to her recent predecessors. How could she not? But yes, she’s being doing a good job, I think. She always seems prepared and poised, especially dealing with the fascist agitprop shills.  Now if they could only get her to up her smokey eye shadow game......
