Vote Vets pointed out on Twitter just how much bullshit this border guard thing is. They cannot legally do anything to “protect” the border. They can only provide logistical support. This is a political stunt, pure and simple, and a MASSIVE waste of time, money, personnel, and resources.
I am not responding to a eulogy at a private ceremony or some article in some small Pittsburgh-based periodical. This is a piece in The Washington Post. An opinion piece premised on a lie, with multiple lies in its text and a lying-ass title. And these are the sorts of Pollyanna-ish lies that literally endanger…
1. FUCKING LOL
This guy (and countless others) get to post threats and abuse without incident, but if she had posted something like “Men are trash,” her account would have been suspended within hours.
It’s a white terrorist. White terrorism is spreading and becoming an epidemic.
And it’s a white nationalist.
Yea. I voted by mail for the first time this year too. I kind of loved it because it allowed me to sit there and look people up (who the fuck could know each of the 50-something odd local chicago judges who were on the ballot? damn!) and look up referendums. After I filled it out i simply popped it back into the…
Our thoughts and prayers need to go to the victims here. We shouldn’t rush to make laws at this time. We can’t use this crisis to write legislation to single out law-abiding citizens. The guy was just a normal neighbor, no one would have thought he could have done it. It’s just an isolated incident, we can’t use it to…
A white guy in his 50's from Florida? I’m shocked. Also shocked to see that he’s driving around in a van that is basically a Trump shrine.
I’m just sitting here white knuckling my mouse while I wait to hear news of a “The Craft” remake so I can invoke the spirit and go full Nancy as I’ve always threatened.
I feel the same way when I talk about Alicia Silverstone’s performance, specifically. Everyone in Clueless is great but can you imagine Cher played by anyone else and having the movie work as it does?
When I tell people it’s one of my all time favorite movies I get looks of horror, but, as I said upthread, it is an amazingly well written movie and insanely smart and witty.
I appreciate Clueless more in my mid-30s than I did as a pre-teen, although I enjoyed it then. It’s far more clever than it seems on the surface and the performances are perfect. You can try to remake this in earnest and cast great actors but it wouldn’t matter. Clueless is Clueless. You can’t capture the original…
It’s not American
I suspect that approaches like this come about because white people believe that everyone else sees the world as they do. Whites see an ad campaign for a movie or television show that features black or brown faces prominently and many decide “nah, that’s probably not for me.” They assume that’s how everyone else makes…
Trumpism is civil war. It’s precisely what they want. Again. Same people, same principles as last time.
Also, I LOVE how the camera pans to the black members in the audience. Like “see they’re ok with it so everyone needs to just let it go.” That actually makes me even more angry about all of this.
I honestly love how she’s putting herself out there and being honest about all this. Make fun of her all you want for being dramatic, but it takes women like her to speak out (even if you feel like it’s over the top) to let other women know that it’s ok to have regrets, to want to have had made different choices in…
