He has, “hates uppity women” written all over him. I see he supports stripping children from parents, putting the children in cages, and losing them. Such a moral crusader. Racist, grandstander, ladder climber. Totally on board with leeching on Cheetos ass. I wonder what his religion is? He sure as hell doesn’t follow…

Intermediate text: “How long do you think this is going to take?  I’ve got a Campus Republicans mixer at 3.”

Something to note: Hawley’s position is out of the mainstream and further to the right than any public poll currently supports. Yes, the anti-choice crowd is loud, but in general people don’t agree with these kinds of absolutist stances on abortion.

This is so very, distressingly similar to the Jian Ghomeshi trial that dominated the Canadian news cycle a few years ago including the pulled-together female defence lawyer. Very, very upsetting.

Her job description is to ensure her client gets a fair trial

She’s a defense attorney. What do you want from her? We have defense attorneys defending serial killers, rapists, and all kinds of violent felons, every hour of every day. Hate her all you want but if not her, then it’ll be someone else. How about we blame judges and juries who are the actual fact-finders - and not…

A good time for a reminder. The vast majority of primary voters are not as ideological as people who comment on messages boards like this and twitter. For a lot of people personality matters as much as if not more than policies.

Starting with two states that rank very low in diversity in the US is definitely going to be of help to white candidates deemed ‘safe’ by the party’s moderate core. Obama was the exception, but he had rock star appeal.

Warren fell into the Middle Zone Death Trap that got Gillibrand, Booker, Castro, and Harris, although her fall was slower because she was further on the left flank. The only candidates that are doing well are either firmly on the right side of that flank (Buttigieg, Klobuchar, maybe Bloomberg) or squatting on the…

“I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other, and witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think: ‘I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to experience this feeling I’m having in…

It is so damn good to see a male sports superstar being so loving, kind, and supportive of their trans child. I'm sure that he's going to catch hell from lots of people in the sports world bc so much of it is still so incredibly rife with toxic masculinity and this is just a really sweet, heartwarming story that is…

3/4 of Nevada’s population is in Las Vegas

Good call on Alfie Allen. Theon’s character arc was one of the few things GoT got right in its final seasons, and his performance throughout was absolutely outstanding. 

No matter the crime, no one under eighteen should ever be tried as an adult and no one under 18 should ever get a life sentence.  

Not sure why “I think he did it but also that there was reasonable doubt” is such a controversial stance, but... I think he did it, but he shouldn’t have been convicted.

scratch this, LGA is domestic

...so like The Jinx? Or the countless true crime shows where they’re interviewing already-convicted murderers?

He was, apparently, a pretty good friend of my cousin’s back in high school. It’s made for some interesting family gatherings at my aunt’s house where she will point out every picture of Adnan and him together (formals, etc).

Yea those Bodega Boys certainly encompass the neoliberal agenda...

If you don’t know what those words mean then does that really make me the idiot here?
