On Tuesday, Lifestyles, who had previously argued online about the allegations, posted his emotional apology video. “This situation, of course, is wearing on me,” he started out. “It’s unbelievable. It’s very sobering, humbling, if you will, to know that one moment in your whole career can just spiral out of control.”

Are there any women who direct porn, or is it just a bunch of gross dudes who volunteer to be “actors” in scenes?

The Democratic Party caved and made some flimsy bullshit resolution to shield an anti-Semite (Omar) from being criticized. What a waste and the wrong thing to do.

Have we discussed how funny it is that Republicans were mad that this got turned into “All Hate Is Bad” instead of the “One Kind of Hate Is Bad” they’d wanted, in light of their previous “All Lives Matter” bullshit?

The kind of far-left voter that supports Omar’s anti-Semitism are not the voters that decide who controls congress. Neither are reliable Republican voters. It is voters in the middle, who live in competitive districts. The way to get them to vote Democrat is not by allowing anti-Semitism within the Democratic ranks.…

He also has plenty of opportunity to go make a human baby with a willing partner! His chances at parenthood aren’t shattered just because one woman didn’t want to incubate for him.

And, according to McCarthy, they should do this pretty regularly.  I know my neighbors appreciate my monthly march through the neighborhood screaming “I’M NOT RACIST!” over and over.

Okay, so if he wants the fetus to survive, he thinks he deserves that outcome. Does he understand what is required of the pregnant woman in order to give him that outcome?

He had pre-marital sex with someone he wasn’t in a long-term relationship with, who had never discussed, apparently, birth control options or knew each other’s feelings on pregnancy.

This shit infuriates me. In terms of rhetoric alone, this is the most pandering, simpering, weak-minded bullshit I’ve read this week. “The Mother” bullshit aside, this “Baby Roe” nonsense is pure tripe. Naming the baby while dehumanizing the woman involved is such a naked attempt at emotional manipulation.

Wouldn’t this ultimately lead to a culture where women just don’t admit they’re pregnant? What does this idiot hope to accomplish? 

This part - “while accusing the progressive congresswoman of being an anti-Semite due to her criticisms of Israel and its right-wing leader, Benjamin Netanyahu” is not correct. People are accusing her of anti-semitism because she deploys anti-semitic tropes in her rhetoric, rather than simply criticizing the state…

The NRA and AIPAC aren’t even close to the most influential lobbies based on 2018 spending (or even the last 20 years) Look at the facts, they don’t even rank in the top 50 for political contributions, so singling out a pro-Israel, American group is rightly viewed as antisemitism, especially when the Muslim doing it…

I like that people gloss over Rep. Omar’s comments about how Jewish lawmakers were her main impediment because they can’t argue that it’s not anti-Semitic. It’s much easier to deflect to a different straw man and say “oh she’s just talking about Israel and Bibi” then to actually address her real comments. Just swap…

Perhaps it is possible that there is much to criticize about Israel, that the GOP is out to get any democrat who gives them an opening AND she deserves censure. Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic. Using tropes like Jews buying political influence or having allegiance to a foreign country could not possibly be more…

Yikes. Come on guys. Did I really just read a carefully-written piece dissecting the racism and bias built into the right-wing attacks on Omar...that totally fails to understand or acknowledge how the idea that American Jews who support the Israeli government are in the thrall of a foreign power is DRIPPING WITH…

I have never understood why Joe Biden didn’t get more crap for his description of Obama as “clean”. Isn’t that just the flip side of this same coin?

Exactly. No one has ever claimed that all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. That’s just a straw man, and arguing against straw men doesn’t advance the conversation.
