Holy crap, this makes me so angry. I remember hearing about her last year and just being impressed by her. I just don’t have words and again, I’m going to site to give what I can because we live in a world full of violently, disrespectful assholes.
The entire piece by the Times is worth a read, it’s a great look at how she would approach her first 100 days and also just a reasonable take on her in general.
I agree. Really, I’m tired of all the misogynist bashing of my candidate (and, consequently, of me as a supporter), followed by whines of “You neeeeed to REACH OUT to us!” Followed, of course, by more bashing (or, more subtly, pinching without leaving marks).
It reminds me of that time when RBG responded to the question “When will there be enough women on the supreme court?” and she said when there is 9. It caused a mild uproar that women thought we deserved more than half. Men have had more than half for, what, over 200 years? Women take a third for a couple years, and…
“Nothing about us without us".... I like this very much.
Cue the bros outraged that she’s hiring considering gender and not ‘the best person for the job’.
I too have a feminist cat.
Preach. Not to mention that each time newspapers parse his monthly campaign finance info it is clear that most of the highly paid folks in his campaign are male, and the women are not getting paid as much as their male colleagues.
I’ve thought about this and realized that it can be both. I believe he thinks his daughter is an exceptional woman (and not just the whole “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d...” bit of effluvia). I believe he encouraged her. Because she’s his. And that alone makes her exceptional by virtue of those yugely great genes. But…
I FUCKING LOVE ORLANDO
Virginia to Vita:
Do all athletes need to wear body cams like cops.
You jest, but point in fact, the loss occurred when they were down three players because of the detentions. I can hear on the horizon the bellowing whinges of a thousand affronted Anglophone dudes who’ve never watched men’s volleyball in their life but are now uberfans bewailing the Politically Correct Police State cum…
Corruption is a given but I’m really concerned about the country’s instability. The people didn’t want the event there to start with and made no secret about making sure that nobody will be safe. You’ve got problems if Zika is 3rd or 4th on the list of why you shouldn’t be there.
Corruption and billions of dollars say bet on yes.
Of course it's not just her— she has to think about her entire crew. I'm sure there are many young women of childbearing age in her show.
She should not have been charged with murder, but that doesn’t mean he should have been, either.
If you are killing him to motivate two white heroes to go to war, its kind of a bad idea.
So... he’s trying to explain his racism by pretending it isn’t about race? Look, he killed the black guy. That’s all there is to it. There were pleny of expendable white folks, but no. Murder the minorities!
