Oh sweetie, if you’re going to go that route, you need to start with how women were iced out of the 14th Amendment.

Why? Why not discuss the “MENZZ”? Because I’ve seen the white woman racist topic a lot, but not the MENZZ?

Isn’t it because it’s easier to fight over scraps instead of looking at who’s really aggregating the power here?

Why do blue-collar white guys vote against their own self-interest? Because Trump isn’t working for…

But it IS both ways—that’s why there’s a 47/53 split—that tells you that a lot of white women didn’t vote for Trump along with a lot of white women who did.

And if you look at which white women voted for Trump—i.e. lower education levels—then it shouldn’t be that surprising that they “fail to generalize their…

Uh, right—because all white women act as a single unit. White women in Vermont have the same voting patterns as white women in Alabama. Oh, right—they don’t.

It might be nice to actually do some effective parsing here—i.e. white women with college educations did, in fact, prefer Hillary Clinton to Trump. Urban white…

And, again, you know this because? Are you an expert on the Finnstep? Did you review the technical footage? As the controversy was in the short program are you sure that it would have made a difference overall—particularly as Davis/White beat Virtue/Moir by about two point in both the short and the long.

It’s a judged…

I saw Bradie, in person—yes, she’s stiff in the upper body—she’s had two serious back injuries, which I suspect has something to do with it. So, yes, she could have better port de bras and fluidity, but she has a well-choreographed piece that she performs cleanly with fully rotated jumps and level 4 spins.

I think the…

Random according to whom? Moir?

Like I said, Canadian sour grapes.

Bradie Tennell won because she’s the one skater who’s figured out what she needs to do to win under the current scoring system—she’s the only American woman who’s broken 200 points this season internationally. There’s been such an American medal drought in Ladies that the skating federation would have chosen someone…

“The American couple”—i.e. Davis and White had been unbeaten for two years prior to the 2014 Olympics. So, no, they didn’t beat Virture/Moir on a technicality—that’s Canadian sour grapes.

No, Bradie Tennell is—she’s the only American woman to break 200 points internationally this season. She doesn’t underrotate her jumps and Nagasu does.

Realistically, the U.S. won’t medal in Ladies, but Bradie is more likely to outscore Nagasu—she has the technical content for it.

Actually, a bunch of white women stayed home—30 percent of the electorate v. 35 percent for white men.

And, given the mother/non-mother split, what we’re really looking at is a problem with *older* white women.

In Alabama.

I saw it when it came out and being around Mariel Hemingway’s age, I was disgusted by it. I ranted about it at college and was considered unhip for doing so. I’d loved Annie Hall, but after Manhattan, I never loved another of his movies—I find them deeply dishonest.

Yeah, that was a little bit of my problem with the list—it’s really a list of things that describe blue-collar mostly rural whites. Some people who fit the description are decent humane people. The most blatantly racist stuff I’ve heard (I’m white) was from country club types. Ugh, even as a kid I knew it was…

The white people are basically left over from when the areas were lily-white and the Republican heartland of California.

When I was growing up, you didn’t know how the GOP in California had done until Orange County reported in. Riverside and the Inland Empire were also very Republican.

Lots of Okies and Arkies came west…

Whoa, that’s a lot of surgery—lip fillers, nose job, some sort of cheek implant and what’s with the brows? Botox of some sort of weird little lift?

Bullshit. It means some of us are concerned with the rule of law and reducing the state’s high prison population.

Persky followed the sentencing recommendation he was given (the parole officer who gave the recommendation was a woman, by the way.)
 

Many of us realize that hysteria over one case doesn’t lead to good long-term thinking. Persky followed the sentencing recommendation he was given. Many of us realize that this kind of chilling on judicial leniency ends up meaning longer sentences for less-attractive indigent clients.

Because, once again, Persky was following the recommendation he was given. What is unclear about that?

Persky doesn’t have an awful record in this regard, which is one of the reasons why local judges and the law faculty at Stanford have supported him.

As for Turner, both he and his victim were very drunk and showed…

Perksy followed the recommendation of the parole officer on sentencing. WHICH IS WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.

Do you know what the effect of recalling Persky will be? Lack of judicial independence and longer sentencing in a state that’s already maxed out on prison sentencing and will end up, ironically, penalizing…

The fall of the old order and the loss of various magics would also be “bittersweet”. There’s also already a bit of a Renaissance with Braavos being a free city that seems a bit more advanced than Westeros and the slaver cities. I suppose Valyria, with its more advanced technology that then collapsed, is a bit like…
