I’m sorry Ashley, but on this, you are wrong.

No, I’m agreeing with you. I’m noting that this would barely go to “2" on a normal man’s Inconvenienced Meter. And yet, it’s more than everyone can handle when used by a woman. Even the most powerful woman in America.

Our problem is that any woman in public no matter what she does or how she does it will be critiqued. We are too old, too young, too pretty, too ugly, too authoritative, not authoritative enough, too mean, too nice, our voices are wrong, our hair is wrong and etc. When we clap back it’s not “polite” or “kind” enough…

Nah, just condemned them to starve. (Unless there’s even more bad news today???)

Well, far be it for me to gainsay your Mom or Piper Perabo. But I can’t help but think that part of our problem is that a female Speaker of the House briefly switching to her “May I please speak to your manager” voice constitutes either a “boss” moment, or a “nervous fit” in our public discourse.

They do what they do out of love.

“I don’t hate anybody. I was raised in a Catholic house, we don’t hate anybody.”

I am sick of his supporters constant insistence people only oppose Trump because they hate him. 

ah yes, Sinclair “reporter” of course.

In Booker’s case for me anyways, it’s a combination of small things rather than a lot of the bullshit you hear leftists spout about him.

I don’t know if she was ever going to overcome things like this

It’s rage inducing. That they think this argument holds any water. Then the realization that it actually Does for the majority of their base.

“Why can’t they just wait until the people have a chance to speak with their ballot?” 

Even though it will never get through the Senate, this had to be done. It was either impeach the motherfucker (props to Rep. Tlaib) or admit that we aren’t even trying to protect the Constitution anymore. 

It’s on the record, it’s in the history, he and the GOP will be forever tainted with this. His cult is temporary. This hearing, whether it ends in impeachment or not, will be forever.

“The democrats have been out to get him since his election. Why can’t they just wait until the people have a chance to speak with their ballot?” that has become the BS talking point of the past few weeks. From sycophantic mouthpieces, shitty ass memes, and the brain dead Boomers that sit 10 ft away from me at the…

Eh, I don’t think it’s an entire wash. The thing to remember is that there’s a flip side to Trump’s shallow affect and facile image-consciousness: he’s got a shallow affect and is concerned only with facile image-consciousness. And as such, having an asterisk next to his name, which he will have for the rest of his…

Probably for the best, given the kerfluffle of a hearing that happened yesterday.

This take sucks. All it does is play into Republican hands: “See, even the liberals expect this from us”. It didn’t look like Nixon was going to be convicted until public support demanded it, and then he bailed. Letting Republicans off the hook before we even put them on it is defeatism.

She wouldn’t say this if she didn’t have the votes, so... yeah, he’s definitely going to be impeached. Good.
