Give a racist a pardon and he’ll take a Senate seat ... or something like that. But as disappointing as this development is, at least we can take heart in the fact that Paul Ryan, John McCain, and Jeff Flake are deeply concerned. Not enough to do anything, but really ... deeply concerned.

The main one I have experience monitoring. Of course you also have wannabe comedians who think they;re just being cool and non PC by making those jokes and then wonder why their audience is full of Nazis. Gee, I wonder why?
I’m pretty much already there with you—as in, I’ve been constantly making a version of this point about white men’s disproportionate influence on media during and since the 2016 election: “It’s not as though media, in which men remain the overwhelming majorities of people who assign, edit, write, and talk about the…
A lot of them join up for other reasons. Like they’re wannabe pickup artists who get pulled in because they travel in similar circles, or they’re “anti-PC” and think everyone else is shouting slurs to break down the PC Walls or be “ironic” not because, you know, they’re slurs you use to hurt people. So even when they…
A lot of them have either learned to keep it quiet or have the leaders of the movement pushing them to keep it quiet. And believe me, nothing is funnier than watching a bunch of pricks who partly joined something just to be “anti-PC” fighting over how PC they have to act to accomplish their goals.
No mention of Richard Spencer is complete without this gif.
I was hate-listening to Morning Joe on my drive to work this morning and straight up screamed when they played this part. How many times have I done this/felt this way? And then questioned my reaction after it?
This made me tear up. I know I’m going to have to buy this book despite the fact that I will cry all the entire way through it.
“Maybe I have overlearned the lesson of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world.”
I think she curates the hell out of what people think is her life, and in return, we don’t really know much of anything about her actual life.
I’m sure there’s some brilliant context here, but I fear that I’ve missed it...so, context?
I actually think the best case scenario is for POTUS45 to serve a full term, continue to fuck things up and then lose to a Democart in 2020. Otherwise I could imagine a world where he’s impeached after the midterms, Pense moves up and is then eligible to be reelected for two more terms.
You have my star, but I honestly don’t have hope for that. 41 months of this shit to go...
your anatomy must work different than mine. getting into a sports bra is a 15-20 minute procedure.
I normally do, but when it is 100F in my unairconditioned apartment, I have definitely soaked that bra with sweat within 10 minutes.
A bra is the very last thing I put on before leaving my house (well, the bra and then the shirt) and it’s always the first thing I take off when I walk in to the house.
Look up. There’s a Trumper going around talking about how this is all a ‘deep state’ conspiracy. Trump supporters will never admit who he is and what he’s done. They will blame Clinton and the Democrats and the elusive ‘deep state’ for the rest of their miserable existence.
