Not to mention that once again, solutions like this assume that he will be able to magically wield federal executive powers that Constitutionally don’t exist to impose his plan on recalcitrant state governments.

Honestly Zuckerberg sums up why #alllivesmatter is a problem pretty well. Go read his post in the article, particularly the third paragraph...
He knows and doesn’t give a shit.
I go back and forth on this one, because yes, you know exactly what you are getting with Ted Cruz and its fucking horrifying, whereas with Trump, sometimes he forgets he’s supposed to be running as a Republican and endorses things like a healthcare mandate.
I will say that in 13 Going on 30's defense, even though Jennifer Garner’s job realistically wouldn’t that much, the movie at least pretends that she makes a lot of money at her job, which is slightly better than giving a character a job that obviously doesn’t pay a lot of money and simply ignoring reality. And you…
Yeah, I work at a big law firm in NYC and basically my firm and all other firms pay the exact same salary/bonus scales (to the point that unless things change or I leave the firm, I know exactly what I will be making 5 years from now). The salary scale has remained exactly the same since it was increased in 2007 and…
Seriously, FUCK ROLLING STONE.
Yeah, and as someone who fully supports Kesha here, the fact that she lost last week doesn’t mean that her case is doomed as well. Kesha was asking for a preliminary injunction to let her start recording with new people before the trial had concluded. It would have been kind of weird and unprecedented from a contract…
UGH, once again FUCK ROLLING STONE and their sloppy-ass journalism. They basically wrapped up and put a bow on the greatest possible gift to rape deniers everywhere. Instead of merely being satisfied with the horrors of common rape that probably happens on a daily basis on college campuses in this country and telling…
If a rape allegation is relevant to the contract at issue, than it most certainly should be argued in civil court. It’s not like if Kesha wins the state could turn around and be like SEE he totes raped her sentence him to prison in the criminal trial because they would have to meet the higher burden of proof.
Right, but you still don’t have to “prove” it, you just have to show enough evidence that would suggest that you would be likely to succeed on the merits. Even so, its a balancing test, so if the likelihood of success was somewhat lower, but the irreparable harm was super high, a court could still grant an injunction.…
Yeah, I’m still kind of confused as to what she was seeking an injunction for. If it was to record music outside of the contract before that lawsuit is decided, than yeah the judge probably made the right call here. Even if she could demonstrate likelihood of success on the merits, she is the one that initiated this…
Also, how the fuck can they force the schools to pay for lawsuits as a result of this? That may be the most cynical part of this whole thing. The bigots know this would cost the state a lot of money to defend in court, so now we are going to force the school districts to pay for it out of their own budgets (which I’m…
Seriously, I actually couldn’t believe the articles attempting to refute the existence of the so-called “Bernie Bro.” While I admit the extreme sexism the original articles claimed is pretty rare, my Facebook feed is rife with examples of Bernie Bros, so unless Zuckerberg has started making up fake friends that seem…
I do really like the idea of Bernie and would happily vote for him if he becomes the Democratic nominee, but how is he going to navigate the national election without SuperPACs? As much as I agree with him on how terrible they are, they are a reality and the GOP won’t hesitate to get all the money from whomever they…
I thought it was great, surely one of the all-time best, but nothing is EVER going to top Whitney, even with the pre-recorded vocals.
Wait you think people are advocating killing all the men? It was one thing when you said that the quote implied that all men are killers (which it didn’t), it was a worse thing when you suggested that all men will be rejected 30,000 times in their life (which is insane because unless you are propositioning women every…
How did that meme imply that? The quote merely states what we all know to be true, that way more men kill women than the other way around. Nowhere does it suggest that ALL men are women killers, and we all know its a minority of men. It’s just that enough men are and have been killers or abusers or violent in the past…
That’s 100% false. If you are getting rejected at that rate, maybe the problem is with you and not with women. I can’t think of a single straight man I know (and there are some where I could see that rejection rate happening) who has significant problems landing women, because they are all, for the most part, decent…
I think the thing about Hillary is that she would be going into the Oval with no compunction about trying to make the GOP like her. They hate her guts and they have made that clear, but they are also crazy and just want to prevent the federal government from, you know, governing. Obama tried to reach out to them in…
