I don’t know if it’s outrage overload, but it’s definitely overload - it’s too much to keep track of. Even one ‘single’ story like this Stormy Daniels affair (intentional word choice) - it’s not just the story of the affair it’s the hush money and the lawyer and questions about how/who it was paid for/by questions of…

If Robert Mueller wants to talk to you, chances are he already has evidence of your guilt, and is only looking to catch you in a lie. That’s how he nailed Papadopoulos and Manafort. He’s not going to ask a question he doesn’t already know the answer to, he’s only asking to make sure your answers line up with what he…

Both things are true:

Stassa, this is a superb article and the following:

The Democratic Party absolutely abandoned these voters. When a Democratic President championed and signed the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act, it turned its back on everything these voters stood for.

I wish I could share your optimism, but we seem to live in a time when a lot of voters do not punish elected officials for fucking them over, but in fact, reward them with re-election.

I watch the shit out of Vanderpump Rules and Below Deck (including BD: Mediterranean), but haven’t been able to finish a Real Housewives season for a few years. NYC, BH, and OC used to be my guilty pleasures. Time to let them go, Bravo.

Well it doesn’t really matter what people “tolerate.”

I know I’m not supposed to wish crowbars to the shins on people, but hey, the heart wants what the heart wants.

But that’s only when a man is feeling jealous! Any other time Ms Slutty McSlutterson should be forced to carry to term. Then the evangelical right can shame the child for the rest of it’s life by denying it adequate food, housing, education and work opportunities. 

Honest question: Do you think abortion is really the issue there, or is it that support for anti-abortion candidates overlaps closely with support for white candidates? In other words, are they hiding behind one seemingly unimpeachable voting issue to disguise another, less savory motive?

The issue that democrats need to understand though - if they changed their platform and became the party of 100% prohibition no abortions for anyone - the republican purse strings would simply move the goalpost.

I’m pretty sure the white woman GOP voters in my family (Alabamans) vote 100% only based on abortion. They will never vote for someone who admits to being pro-choice. For real. That and they are stealth racists who don’t care about equality. It’s like beating your head against a wall to convince them anything other…

I need white liberals to stop trying to “fix” everyone else’s communities once and for all and go work on their own, because clearly the call is coming from inside the house.

As a white woman, even I have no fucking idea what 60 percent of white female voters in Alabama were thinking. Thank you, black voters, for getting the job done.

I’m also assuming the Jonathan Waxman is shaking in his boots. I love his food but I’ve always gotten a super creep vibe from him.

He was accused of doing both. His wife accused him of having an affair with January. Giada’ ex-husband accused him of being one of the men Giada (allegedly) had affairs with during their marriage.

Bourdain has been pretty open and even apologized for making his career off his first book that took making a kitchen uncomfortable for women as a given. From his standpoint, it just sounds like it was the 70s and people were fucking a lot as opposed to him grabbing or harassing people. That said, if he DOES have…

I have a friend who worked in the bar/restaurant industry for a long time and it’s amazing how much of that toxic behavior she thinks is completely acceptable and that it’s totally cool to act like that too.

Agreed. Bobby treated his last wife pretty shabbily. Supposedly had an affair with Giada. Makes him a sleaze, not a perv, but he strikes me as aggressive and petty. What are the odds he hasn’t pursued staffers/colleagues who were far less interested?
