I saw that and people have no idea why the other five kids didn’t go to dinner with their grandfather. I mean I don’t believe each one had an emergency where they could not make it, but what if the one you were sending death threats to did?

Psychologically, I really don’t know how he’s going to handle Hillary. Trump’s Megyn Kelly “feud”/obsession seems extraordinary both because it seems so high-cost for him and relatively unprovoked. She asked him, once, a question about his misogyny in a debate? Like, JESUS CHRIST, that’s her job.

I mean, they have to be pretty thoroughly submissive and adoring, right? He is so thin-skinned about female rejection - it enrages him. I imagine he has “taught” women in his life lessons after they’ve dared defy or challenge him.

Exactly! I think - because of the way she looks - he had the expectation that she would behave like a fawning, eager-to-please beauty pageant contestant whose success and public existence is in some fundamental sense utterly dependent on his (r.e. male) approval. But it turns out, she’s not a dumb, obsequious blonde…

Exactly. She doesn’t agree with him and he can’t call her “ugly”. So of course, he labels her “crazy”. What a psycho.

I can see that. She's an accomplished and also attractive woman. I don't think he can handle that.

I think there is something weird and psychosexual in his inability to take criticism from her. He cannot abide her not liking him - her dissent. At first, it seemed like the usual politician versus pesky reporter war, but it’s not. There’s something about her being female that he cannot stand.

Add making me side with Fox News to the reasons I hate Donald Trump.

There is a pretty obvious failure mode when we always hold a speaker accountable for another person’s pain. This provides listeners with an incentive to be easily hurt, or at least pretend to be. By claiming to be unsafe, offended, or hurt, a person has the power to shut down speech and immediately discredit the…

And you are hearing SOOOO many constitutional and revolutionary war historians losing their shit over it, right?

Funny how you picked two examples that couldn’t help you at all. You picked Shylock, who is portrayed in the view of the people who hate him as a horrible stereotype, yet is affectionately written by Shakespeare as the person done most wrong to, who is eaten up inside by the malaise created by the “normal” people.

Did you read what Keene wrote? Her argument is essentially that unless you’re a Navajo, you shouldn’t be able to write stories about skin-walkers. That’s insane and utterly racist.

As somebody who doesn’t live in the USA and is therefore not drowning in a morass of racial neuroses, I don’t find anything remotely offensive about Rowling’s description of Native American magic.

Yes, the fucking Steubenville rape apologists have found a new cause. I saw this on pinterest and it was so right on about what happened:

I actually don’t have a problem with the focus being on the criminal rather than the victims because let’s be honest here, that’s where the story is. what I want to know about is the criminal’s psychology, history, what makes him/her tick, etc. That’s what’s interesting in articles about crimes.

I hoped to present a more fully-rounded portrait of Mr. Holtzclaw than had appeared in the press. I hoped to explore the question of what had happened to this once-promising young man.

The primary method of losing a very large amount of weight in a short time for weigh-ins is extreme dehydration, which leads to potassium build-up in the blood. Not an uncommon complication unfortunately (well, it’s uncommon at heavyweight because few guys cut much weight if any there), and the promotions have…

48 rowers? And that’s just for the single man rowing competition...

Naw, not at all. That’s how SecuROM works, not Denuvo. If you want to install it on a new machine, you have to go online and download it, right? So when you do that, Denuvo can make another unique key, based on that new machine.

True, but the kernel of truth that propels this bullshit train is that Hillary is no more attuned to the everyday realities of families by virtue of being a woman than she is more emotional by virtue of being a woman.
