Ladies and gentlemen, the “moderate” Republican alternative to Cruz/Rubio et al.

The really insidious thing about Casey is that people say it upheld and solidified Roe (kind of true, not 100% accurate). But what it really did was pave the way for the death by a thousand cuts of abortion rights we’ve seen the past 20 odd years.

Yeah. It is such an infuriatingly sloppy opinion. And what was it, the 24 hour waiting period was not an undue burden because...reasons? No real analysis, it’s just not an undue burden because of reasons.

Yeah, right? This is the whole point of Oliver’s show. To try to shed some light (in a comedic, yet still serious way) on major issues. Oliver doesn’t claimed that he JUST NOTICED THIS CRAZY THING OMG YOU GUISE!!!!!!11 He’s picking topical, sometimes undernoticed, issues and trying to do some broadly accessible…

If men got pregnant you could get an abortion at every 7-11, CVS, and bodega in the damn country.

Practically? It is literally meaningless. I don’t recall “undue burden” even being defined in Casey.

Well, I don’t know if I agree with the broader claim-every feminist should be asked to defend their voting position as a feminist. If you call yourself a feminist and vote for, say, a pro-life candidate, then I’d argue you have to justify the shit out of that (unless you are, for example, in Louisiana and there is no…

I wonder how the increasing knowledge of concepts such as intersectionality informs millennial feminists’ views on Clinton. I think that they are basically speaking a completely different language than second-wavers. So Steinem will say “But she’s a woman!” sort of ignoring the fact that feminist theory has evolved…

Actually, this gets me thinking. So what if you vote for Obama because he’s black, or for Clinton because she’s a woman? The idea that “identity politics” only applies to non-white or non-male candidates needs to be put to rest. How many racist white guys do you think are out there who would vote for a less-qualified…

I don’t remember the same kind of hand wringing and finger pointing at the notion that black people might support Obama because he was black.

Exactly. If you intellectual lightweights would just fall on your knees and declare that I am the smartest human being who ever walked the earth and am infallible, then sure, I’ll listen to what you have to say.

love those thunder thighs

Kasich is good at pretending to be a moderate. He is anything but.

I do understand people going after Biden for being a gaffe machine. Sometimes gaffes are media-created, or blown out of proportion. And everyone makes them. But you reach a point. But generally speaking, I take personality reporting at a steep discount.

The ornery contrarianism is the schtick.

Put them in a circus tent in Central Park? Empty hangar at JFK? Where else is there?

If the citizens of New York City don’t want Chirlane McCray in charge of something, what recourse would we have?

isssssss mental health a “women’s issue”?

I don’t think we’re disagreeing.

Not this specific court order-because it’s limited to Apple-unless the shooter also had an Android device I haven’t heart about- but it would set that precedent.
