Same. Conservatives don’t actually send representatives to DC to legislate or govern. They send them there to sit on their thumbs and block anything meaningful from passing. Everyday conservative people, if they even hear about this, are just going to process it as conservatives stopping the Extremist Socialist Left…

“Plus, the extra vote offers the added benefit of giving the conservative Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) less power to block important legislation.”

Take your star.

I love when gossip rags condemn gossip. 

No kidding - Morissette was at the forefront of the 90s Riot Grrl set, while Rodrigo seems to be following the romantic Swift path.

You are the type of people that wrote the speculative bullshit that “caused more hurt than we knew”. I mean, it doesn’t even take more than a google search to find numerous Jezebel blogs about the topic. Are you gonna learn from this? Probably not.

Jezebel’s take is “Our writers don’t consider the full implications of their words or arguments.”

I mean, he’s objectively a quack. I don’t know anyone who’s blaming Oprah directly for his decision to run, but she gave him a massive, legitimized platform and has never, not once, spoken publicly about how that was a mistake. I know it’s bad form to speak out, unprompted, against a friend or former friend, but he…

Why you so hostile all the time?

“Hawking” their brands, promoting them. “Hocking” means pawning it.

It’s not too early to stop posting about them and prevent this from happening.

Exactly. He hasn’t embraced the queer community so much as he’s told the rest of the church to just shhhh, stop talking so loudly about their bigotry. His views are still pretty staunchly anti-LGBT.

I’ll add that the gamification of “solving” crimes by lay people based only on publicly available information, rumor, and speculation isn’t helping, either.

And I would say he was right. ‘Based’ means literally that, that the basis is a true event but not all of it is; it’s not a fucking documentary. Otherwise it would literally say ‘this is a true story’. Argo was a great movie but it was just that, a movie. If I want to know exactly what happened, I’ll read a history…

Fuck off. Both things can be true: she will likely always have the means to jump on a private plane to another country, but she may also care very deeply that she (and everyone) should not have to do that to get life-saving medical care. Because if these Christian Nationalists have their way with a national ban, that…

So, when you typed this comment out, what did you think you were contributing to the discussion? Are you insulting a woman of means for having those means? Or do you think this is a cynical ploy to... what, exactly?

Right, exactly. I wish people understood this.

Yes, it’s UNIQUELY HORRIBLE for a rape victim to deal with this. But it’s also uniquely horrible for anyone to have to deal with any sort of bills pertaining to their healthcare.

The game you play when you isolate cases here knowing the whole is broken is that you are…
