Not only that, but check out which three things are considered most important here, and how each of those three wildly disparate things are given equal weight. It’s like a panflute made of dogwhistles.

Scrutiny of candiates is good. A double standard is not good, especially when most people don’t or can’t acknowledge it’s even a thing.

Either it’s a society without women, or a society in which women are rare (the mother character). Either way, hard pass.

Fair, and that definitely changes the meaning. However, shading your predecessor is all well and good but “working on it” doesn’t really inspire a whole lot of confidence, given the Church’s previous foot-dragging over child abuse. They’ve been “working on that” for a couple of decades now and priests are still…

His fever dreams?

My thoughts echo the part of the article that mentions he built much of his fortune off Starbucks. It’s what got him, in large part, where he is.

I love how the conversation’s all about the pope’s courage. Yes, how brave of him.

Build a really big wall around it.

Cool. It would have been great had she reached out prior to releasing the test results, though. None of it helped anybody.

The lack of empathy is just stunning. This is one of my worst nightmares.

Cool, now I know when to do literally anything else.

This is the correct take. I wish there were a way to signal-boost your answer, because it gets to the heart of the issue. The President, VP, and by association their wives, have taken literal vows to represent the whole of America as public servants. Even the gay ones.

Good.

THIS. It took me a while to adjust to an e-reader, but once I did....I carry my whole library with me. I miss the covers and the feel of the pages, as well as the relative ease of being able to find certain places in the book I want to reread, but if I can have my books in e-reader form I’ll grudgingly give up real…

I have the feeling Frances would be very pleased by this particular Streisand Effect.

She also dragged out the “he’s my friend” and “question the source”, despite the fact questioning the source(s) is an idiotic statement because he admitted he did what everyone said he did.
