My grandfather was a greatest generation, country club, WASP republican who thought it was great that I was smart and determined and all, but he was counting down the days until I fulfilled my real destiny to become a wife to a rich man and a mother to beautiful great grandchildren for him. Similarly, when I was 23,…

And at the time, I was just a little chubby from stress-eating junk food because of family stress. The problem became much worse over the years. I often wonder if maybe the problem wouldn’t have gotten so bad if there wasn’t so much shame instilled in me.

I’m glad you’re in a better place - it takes work every day to take care of yourself properly, physically and emotionally. It’s hard.

Nah, he probably couldn’t give a single shit about the Cowboys. He’s a Jerry Jones fan.

Yeah, she’s not typically well-informed politically. She’s just one of those people who has absorbed in the ether that she’s supposed to distrust Hillary Clinton for some reason, but she doesn’t have her own reasons for feeling that way, so she cites one that sounds right so that she can sound like she knows what…

When I was 9, my mom took me to classes called “the body shop” where I learned how to restrict my calories and dress in dark colors to look skinnier - I had a workbook and homework and everything. When I was 16, my grandfather informed me that I needed to lose weight “for the good of the family.” Over the years, I…

Some of the worst misogynists are gay men. It follows that they would find a home in the Log Cabin Republicans.

The fact that Christie heads the Trump “transition team” is what kills me - he appointed him before the primary was even over, and THIS GUY is supposed to be hiring people for a presidential administration? This crook whose corrupt Jersey toilet stank can be gagged on all the way over here on the west coast?

THANK YOU! This video is a brilliant case study in vile racism, the shit that black people have to put up with and how calmly they have to do it, and what thoughtful policing looks like.

Do you have a link to a saved version of it? I would very much like to see that.

Thanks for the critique guy, but as long as we’re offering one another constructive criticism, you might want to work on your reading comprehension skills.

If it was an honest headline, it would say “Trump denies claiming climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese.” As it stands, it implies that Hillary is assigning conspiracy theories to him that he is not involved with. Why does she make an appearance in that headline at all, unless they are trying to imply…

Come the fuck ON. He said it a zillion times, and there are still tweets posted where he said it, even though his campaign was busy deleting some of them when he lied about it during the debate. This stupid headline implies that she’s the one lying about it. DO BETTER ASSHOLES.

Actually, it didn’t. Seriously. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/27/that-viral-image-showing-trumpwon-starting-in-russia-is-probably-fake/

#Trumpwon started as a sarcastic joke on Twitter. And now Trump is bragging about it. Sigh.

I don’t even blame the laziness of the average person - I blame the sheer volume of the lies and the complicity of the television and internet media organizations to let them fester. If major newspapers are arguing about whether Trump told 20 major lies last week or 30, how is the average CNN or Fox viewer, or your…

It’s so fucking Canadian that you guys are arguing aboot which province has to take responsibility for Cruz.

TRUE, but they are well-compensated by the donor class for being objects of that scorn. The main task of a Republican politician at the federal level right now is to be yelling out “it’s fine! Everything’s fine!” while you’re standing on the Titanic with ice water around your ankles, because otherwise no one’s ever…

Jealous!
