Important context for the Wong Shade: she’s a lesbian with two children with her partner. Joe Hockey and his Liberal party (who are actually conservative; it’s weird I know) have been using the “Won’t someone think of the children” argument against legalising gay marriage to distract from their own party’s expenses…

Penny Wong is a national treasure and I'm so glad she's starting to get the exposure she so deserves. A gleaming beacon in the dark of Australia's current pool of fuckwit politicians

Oh you don’t know? Well we’re telling you: it’s racist.

You clearly aren’t familiar with her philanthropic work. Look it up and next time you won’t judge a nice face by it’s cover. :)

Well congratu-fucking-lations for aping their tired ass argument. Of course you should know that plenty of POC cape for white supremacy so that you’re a POC, while pathetic and unfortunate, doesn’t really change anything I said about you before.

that’s part of running for president, man. you have to put together plans to address these issues, no matter how unlikely.

I don’t consider people who condescend to me friends. Nor do I take seriously the “ally-ship” of people who are quick to pull said alliance the second they decide that they don’t agree with certain tactics. I certainly don’t think an alliance with someone who acts in paternally to be one worth keeping. I’m looking for…

I’m curious. Should he have replied ‘fuck you with a rake’, ‘sniff my dong’ or ‘more of a fuck you’ as some of the staff have been known to do?

Bears will always defend Israel when Jez posts about it. Better to just ignore him. He spews a lot of Islamophobic nonsense

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha have you seen what we are doing to refugees lately? It be easier for her to go back to Ghana and pretend to be straight.

I really don’t have a joke so I’ll just say that Charles C. Johnson’s half-brother really needs to be stopped.

Now, now let’s not let facts get in the way of a good scolding. You know how much some folks live to scold Black people.

Good bit of bigotry about Uzbekistan being a nightmare thrown in with the ignorant outrage-mongering in there. Very efficient.

Apparently exposing injustice makes you a traitor...

This article is so idiotic. You even point out yourself that the statistics from prior to the implementation of the spaces indicate that the risk was exaggerated. The spaces weren’t necessary.

It takes nothing to get a visa revoked these days and it takes a lot to get one that allows you to live and work in the country. Many countries are difficult this way and the hoops one must jump through can be pretty extreme. They also do not have to give any reason to deny or revoke a visa. It can be on a whim and if…

Family law attorney here. The court is obligated to weigh the best interests of the children. That is the determining factor. Here, and in pretty much every case, it is in the best interests of the children to spend as much time as possible with each parent. In this case, the parents do not live in the same place, so…

This is what confuses people about this case: there’s a 2012 custody ruling that E!’s got, and then there’s the 2013 ruling that I believe is an appeal of the 2012 ruling: http://harris-ginsberg.com/wp-content/upl…

Rutherford’s attorney “says the New York judge was ‘perplexed’ that California forfeited jurisdiction over the case and that the legal system has ‘caused profound and irreparable harm to Kelly’s children.’”
