On the whole, I agree with everything you said. But, he has at least stopped calling these women liars. There is something in that. It is a very low bar - but name one of the assholes currently accused of clearing that bar.

I don’t get the PRAISE for this apology that I am seeing here, there and everywhere on social media. CK issued a good apology because he was already outed, after years of gaslighting the public about these “ridiculous!!!!” claims and maybe blacklisting a woman comedian who said they were true? Fuck all that noise.…

Literally put my 20 year old, Old Man Cat named Honey to sleep yesterday. I bawled when they gave us the card with his paw prints.

Theresa May of the Pyhrric victory.

The problem I think is that most people I know who have that attitude are very Euro skeptic, they don’t seem to realize the advantages that Europe afford them because they don’t travel, or work in other countries and they have no clue of the massive economic shit show it’ll be once we fuck up the EU! And also they…

The answer I get from them when I utter the word “selfish” in response to their bullshit argument is that they have been generous enough to vote for people they weren’t fans of before and now they decided not to compromise on their values anymore. And it’s like NOW!? You think now is the right time to keep your values…

I really don’t understand this. A vote is not an unconditional pledge of eternal loyalty. Vote for Macron! And then push against his policies when you don’t agree! You’re not choosing an immortal dictator-for-life! (Unless you choose Le Pen, in which case who the fuck knows any more)

That’s what I don’t get. Ok, neither administration will affect your life much. So how about voting for other people?? Whose lives, and livelihoods, will probably be affected?

For those worried, Nate Silver and 538 have covered extensively critical differences between the polling in France and those for Brexit/Trump. I can’t kinja so no link unfortunately, but check it out.

A sizable amount of people in my fam, who are all extreme left voters (my family has been since after world war 2) are abstaining this Sunday because they can’t in “good conscience” vote for someone who doesn’t represent them! Nevermind that they are all white, middle class (although lower), straight french people and…

Ugh. Macron has a much more sizable lead, but the idiocy of “Why should I give Macron, whom I disagree with on some things, my vote, just because Le Pen is terrible on everything????” gives me horrible flashbacks to those absurd arguments before November 8. Anyone who genuinely thinks “I’m not voting for a candidate…

As someone with family in South Korea, what the everloving fuck, is this?!

I find that I can’t even read complete transcripts of his interviews, it’s just incoherent babble throughout the whole thing.

So in other words it was another shitty, crazy day.

I totally appreciate that and agree. I’ve forgotten most of my high school French, but I’m familiar with French curse words. I think asshole is a bit of a harsh translation, especially coming in a non-casual setting. (Like, there’s a difference between calling your friend an asshole for doing something stupid as a…

You’re right. Kissinger’s ability to diss someone who is unfortunately relevant in a way we find momentarily entertaining as we all prepare for various dystopian fictions to manifest into our current reality also translates to complete forgiveness and unanimous approval for Henry Kissinger.

Or are we just saying ‘even…

SOLID DEFENSE, DUDE. Can’t imagine why people are worried about your treatment of gay folks.

The only difference being that Chechnya has a Muslim majority doing this.
