Comrade, I am ABD in medieval literature. I have taught English literature and writing. I have read Beowulf in the original Old English. *More than once*. I have read most Great Novels, including Ulysses. I am a published author and I obsess over the news. I have been on Jeopardy and absolutely ran the one literature…

Boring. That’s not even shit compared to ten things Trump does daily.

Frankly, I don’t believe it happened ... OR the context makes it a lot more sympathetic.

I could also say that about quadruple bypasses - people eating less meat and taking statins would need fewer bypasses, but saying that quadruple bypasses should be rare stigmatizes people at risk of them and they do less of the behavior that prevents them because they feel like you’ve called them a lazy fatass, much…

But here’s the thing: why does that even matter? By saying abortion should be rare, you’re conceding there is something bad about abortion and there’s not. Also it is people having opinions on other peoples’ medical treatment. I don’t sit here going “quadruple bypass surgery should be safe, legal, and rare” which is…

Not the majority. Maybe 35-40% of people, and I bet it’s more like a third.

Yeah, they’re gonna get Ruby Ridged and suddenly it won’t be fun to be a macho survivalist anymore.

And suddenly he even LOOKS like a meth-head serial killer.

This. I don’t think the MAGA brigades in general are storming shit besides the buffet before 5:30, but the mass shooter uptick could be a tragedy as well as random Proud Boys beating up folks. Which is why a few self-defense classes and pepper spray might be advised.

Yeah, I feel like the “she was 22" was more of a justification for the parents to run off to Canada with their biological autistic child who was a genius and made them look good.

Are we all believing the parents now? I don’t feel like that’s a great plan.

It’s also the Republican dodge for everything. “But Hillary’s emails” is their “we shouldn’t care about Trump’s crimes” dodge, “but Obama did it” over family separation. They refuse to take responsibility for ANYTHING.

I think they’re going to fold like most antivaxxers do when the shit hits the fan and the government’s like “do it or go to jail/don’t get access to public school”.

Because Biden supporters will vote for the Dem nominee. It’s the weird flank of Bernie Bros that still exists that keep screaming “IF YOU DON’T EARN OUR VOTE IT’S YOUR FAULT WE WON’T VOTE!” whereas Biden people will say “welp, we lost, better Liz Warren than Trump.”

Also he’s a little bitch when women cuss or talk, you know, like he does. He starts pearl-clutching like a church lady grandma.

I said on Twitter that going after Chrissy Teigen on Twitter is the worst idea, save for taking on dog_rates and saying a dog is like 8/10.

Eh, Tomato is 110% their fault

Because it means all the people who swear THEY wouldn’t be shooting people but actually ended up doing so wouldn’t actually have their legal guns to do said crime. You could probably go down the list of people who have done mass shootings and many of them got their guns legally and maybe didn’t mean to kill anyone…

I mean...it was probably better that he skipped it because nobody needed him spewing whatever dumb shit he heard about climate and the Amazon on Fox and Friends.

May his estate be tied up in endless litigation.
