By the way, in the Senate hearing Crews explained very eloquently why fighting back was not an option for him:
OH REALLY NOW? This bitch coming for my beloved Terry Crews? HELL NO. I have so many things to say, but I’ll take the Terry road. I love how he responded. He really is the best.
But wait we need to know what Ned in Clusterfuck, Nebraska thinks about this. We should also talk to Barney & Zeke in Dipshit, Iowa to get their opinion on how this NY coastal elite will contribute to them living off of NYC’s tax money. Already people are shitting on this as some kind of failure for Pelosi and…

Why do White people think this easily refuted nonsense?
Oh please, for every one genuine history obsessive pitching a fit about this there are a dozen racist sexist GamerGate ambulatory trash piles just furious that their sandbox has icky girl and uppity black cooties in it. Let’s not extend these people more benefit of the doubt than they’ve earned.
Seriously! No sexy crop top? No mesh-covered yoga pants? No elaborate braided hairstyle and tons of makeup? A celebrity photo where the celebrity looks like a human and not a silicone sex doll? I must be in some alternate universe.
Thank you, Amy, for wearing normal fucking clothes to the gym. Remember when you used to just wear, like, pants or shorts and a sweaty t? Not an ensemble?
I’m a sucker for a good, brain-melting acronym. Thank you. My favorite so far this year has been from a Facebook group for Last Man Standing fans: Bring Back Last Man Standing and Last Man Standing Fan Club, or BBLMSALMSFC.
