Many would say that it was disrespectful to wear a floor length sequined dress to a funeral, but this was Aretha’s funeral and I think she would like for everyone to wear what makes them feel fabulous.  

There’s nothing disrespectful about seeing a woman’s arms or legs in a black dress. This isn’t 1950 and Aretha herself worked in an industry where women wear just about anything. The queen of soul herself had no problem wearing cleavage-baring gowns. #Respect

I’m quite short for a man so it’s not something I’ve experienced but if you’re a lot taller than the person you’re trying to embrace wouldn't the shoulders be the natural place? I'm not a fan of hugs myself and I can’t imagine how bad it would be if I had to worry it was a prelude to assault. I did have an elderly…

Saw the clip of Ariana Grande performing first before seeing the grope and thought it was disrespectful to wear a skimpy LBD to a funeral.

Exactly when are they starting with the very own C.L Franklin and his 12 year old lover when he was 25 years old. The same thing probably happened to Aretha, which is the reason why she didn’t mention the names of her two older children.

When are we going to have the conversation about how predatory and perverted preachers are? Son is only apologizing because of the backlash, not because he felt as though he was personally out of line.

I’m voting for any dem on my ticket.

he’s recusing himself because he was involved in the Trump campaign and he’d be in a lot of legal jeopardy if he obstructed an investigation into that campaign. This has less to do with integrity and more to do with not wanting to wind up in the Littlest Jail Cell.

This. I can’t really envision a path to flipping the Senate, and like you said, there’s a non-zero chance that the Dems will lose seats (for example, Joe Donnelly is in a very precarious position).

Let’s not get too generous with the “too much integrity” part. Sessions isn’t recusing himself from the decision-making process because he’s a noble and honorable citizen, he’s recusing himself because he was involved in the Trump campaign and he’d be in a lot of legal jeopardy if he obstructed an investigation into…

It was Al Franken, who boxed Jeff Sessions into this position in the first place by publicly catching out saying he hadn’t met any Russians when he had, wasn’t it? Said chain reaction gave us Rosenstein and then Mueller. Politics has been decidedly bizarre lately.

As many as 45 House Republicans could lose their seats in the upcoming midterm election

The negotiations with Canada are kind of collapsing because Trump tried to screw Ottawa.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact they threatened to smear Ronan fucking Farrow. Their tactics probably would have worked on the average reporter who wasn’t the child prodigy son of two famous wealthy people. 

Uh, no. This isn’t about a white man of privilege being beaten to some juicy scoop by two women, it’s about a cover-up of countless sexual assaults that would have been successful if Weinstein only had a couple of victims to intimidate. Who knows what will never come out about Weinstein because NBC gave him at least…

Kathy Gifford said it perfectly: they all cover for each other.

Unless, I’m mistaken the results of Farrow’s investigation would have aired in February instead of November if not for NBC trying to kill it. That’s over nine extra months they handed Weinstein to intimidate witnesses. If HW’s abhorrent behavior hadn’t been so widespread that would have been plenty of time to cover it…

Also, let’s not forget that it is NBC that is sitting on outtakes from “The Apprentice” that undoubtedly have the future president saying some horrific shit.

I died a little inside reading what he said to justify his “slavery was a choice” nonsense the other day.

You missed Eminem’s anti-Trump freestyle? Google it now, I’ll wait. Honestly, his last album had some pretty good songs. He finally had some solid targets to punch.
