Mine has a silent letter in an otherwise routine word, so people get it right away or they don’t.

Praising a woman, especially a politician, for her motherhood was never going to go over well with this crowd, although I agree that the author is being extremely ungenerous to the point of silliness. I’m sure his intention was purely to express his admiration for Clinton and appreciation of mothers in general, though…
Big news for fans of rediscoveries of archival materials thought lost forever: Footage from the very first televised…
He has some...odd ideas on motherhood, but I do agree that we need someone tough. Hillary’s resilience is admirable.
I think he’s joking...
Descarada (I love that name by the way)
I agree with him. he mother stuff is a bit much, but the battle-tested, hardened leader is exactly who is needed.
I had a feeling lots of people weren’t going to like this because our society tends to fetishize motherhood and equate it with womanhood. However, as a mother, I’d like to point out that while society says we ALL HAVE TO BE MOTHERS ITS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO MKAY, it actually treats women like shit once they…
I’m just going to go out on a limb here and say that a professional comedian, on a late-night comedy talk show, might have been exaggerating for comedic effect. Just maybe.
He definitely could have done better with this; the focus on her being a mother is... weird. But I agree with him that Hillary’s tenacity is one of her best virtues. She ignores all the bullshit, calmly works through the problems with data and reason, and just straight-up gets things done. I personally wouldn’t have…
I really can’t work up a head of steam here. I’ve said before that part of the reason I’m voting for her is because Clinton has taken 40 years of men shitting on everything she does and taking credit for her work, and still she gets up and gets stuff done because she recognizes that someone still has to do the work.…
It’s messy, and I have issues with the framing, but you’re right, even though it’s essentializing, it’s still a good sentiment!
What are you babbling about?
Sorry, but I love this. In a culture where “mom” is an insult (mom hair, mom jeans, that band your mom likes...), where women have been told they are weak and too emotional, this is great. Women are tough, and get stuff done, and if you’re a mom you already know that having one in the White House is a bonus. This is…
His wording is problematic and his message perhaps a little convoluted but he hits on some really great points.
Actually, in my opinion, the hazing thing is a solid example of why most politicians are crazy. In what world do you walk through a river of shit, day after day, for 20 years to get what you want and still think it’s worth it?
If he were speaking about a man (so exclude the first bit about mothers) I wouldn’t be offended. So IDK what’s wrong with this. Trump is a thin skinned wimp and being president is a shitty, hard job. Obama took a lot of abuse and we applaud him for it.
