Well, we are a nation colonized by religious refugees and criminals - so maybe it’s in our genes.

Kind of how the evangelicals support a guy who has been married three times, yet think gay marriage destroys the sanctity of the institution.

Trump, as relayed by Sanders, felt that his language was “inappropriate for a person in that position.”

I’ve written this same thought probably fifty times over the last year:

I actually think this is central to the appeal of conspiracy theory: it allows people to feel special, and “in on the scoop”.

You know what? I disagree with my own comment. It prioritizes my feelings as an LGBT person.

Nobody can do anything to me that I don’t allow.

I get that she comes from that style of comedy—but to hear a woman say they would drink the juice and not let anything happen they wouldn’t allow.....it’s kind of beyond trying to push a joke. It makes people who have suffered through something really horrific feel bad.

And congratulations to you, too, Brian! You’ve just accurately described how health insurance works!

I hate to do it, but as a white person, there’s something I just have to say about this white allies thing, Michael. It’s hurtful. I mean, really, only an 11 seed? We should have been way higher, conclusively demonstrating your reverse racism!

BUT WHAT ABOUT MY MOM?

My Dad can kick some ass in the kitchen so I don’t know why you have to drag him through the mud like this.

Hey wait, this line applies to everyone getting pissy online. Trump supporters, anti trumpers, everyone.

It sounds as divisive as “shoutout to mom’s cooking.”

Oh, so just because my mom isn’t your mom makes her less of a mom??!! I’m telling mom! Yours and mine.

So, Puff Daddy’s tweet is what’s separating us? Not the asshole in the white house and the ones in Congress and Senate? Not the assholes on Fox News? Not continuation of Jim Crow laws? Not police killing brown and black folks for no reasons? It’s this tweet? OK then.

Why it gotta be mom’s cooking? Dad don’t cook? I’m kidding of course, but someone would’ve taken it there because people can’t just let an affirmation stand. Their mindset is affirmation for you = denigration for me.

That tweet was unbelievably innocuous and kinda warm. It sounds as divisive as “shoutout to mom’s cooking.”
