Oh! They actually figured out what it is - I have Hashimoto’s Disease which is basically an autoimmune causing my body to attack my thyroid. Synthroid and monitoring blood work plus an ultrasound of the lump - that actually ended up being pushed to a different date - and hopefully that’s all there is to it. 

Hello, lovelies. I hope everyone’s Xmas is going well. I need to rant and rave for a second, and possibly ask input.

We are the shithole country. This is SHAMEFUL.

So wait. You’re defending Kevin Hart making actual gay slurs - saying he’d hit his son over his head with a dollhouse for “being gay” - because that’s a “joke,” but my use of a phrase that Beyonce used in a song is undeniably a racial slur and I should apologize.

“Boy bye” is a meme, not a racial slur.  Would you prefer if I said, “Girl, bye?”  There.  Better?

As did many people in the 1960s.  Not that that makes it okay, obviously, but that’s what the situation was back then.  That said, what I was referring to was that King did not mean that quote to be taken to excuse someone from being a total dick and not apologizing when they’ve done something wrong.

Dude is using an MLK quote to make himself feel better about being an asshole and getting justifiably kicked around for refusing to apologize? As if that’s what MLK intended when he said that quote. Boy, bye. 

Mr. Yacht and I are currently discussing having children sometime soon, and we have similar thoughts on this issue.

This is what I heard Michelle saying in my head when she had to shake his hand.

I’d say orange-glo but that stuff smells good, so...

Okay, I’ll just take you at your word and I guess kill myself since I’m such a terrible person for feeling sorry that a family lost a man who they cared for and who was not, despite your assertions, equivalent to, say, Trump. 

While I continue to disagree re GHWB, I do respect your willingness to call a rapist a rapist. 

Wow. Just wow. 

I haven’t! Believe it or not I haven’t seen much Drunk History which is probably something I need to rectify. 

I hope you will argue the same about Bill Clinton when he dies. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I am saying that I’m sick of liberals pretending that our sexual assaulters should be given historical leniency because they did “good things” too. 

Yep, that’s exactly what I meant. I guess you’d say the same to one of my best gay friends whose partner also died of AIDS, but who is still sympathetic to Bush’s family and recognizes the good things he did too, though, right?

That’s what the point of my original post was. Nuance. He wasn’t a paragon of ethics, but he also want a complete piece of shit like a lot of liberals are trying to make him seem. 

Oh, there were ties, but what I mean is that there are debates about whether Prescott Bush was himself a nazi supporter. Most historians seem to agree that he was not. 

You clearly missed the point of my post. Barack Obama was once against gay marriage. Does that mean he wasn’t a decent person then? Hillary Clinton supported the Iraq war. Was she not a decent person? John Kennedy used the Mafia to help get himself elected. Everyone, even liberals, support and do terrible things…

Hence why I said “very few.”
