It really is amazing that the bill, and the Republican party, are so tremendously about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and thus rigging it so taxpayers don’t (or rather, are fooled into thinking that they won’t) pay for ‘someone else’s’ medical expense, and yet here is Trump willing to spend OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS to pay for…

He would make sure they were denied visas to seek treatment in the US.

A million to one that Trump (appears) to give a damn because they are white and photogenic. I’d love to see his reaction if the couple were brown or undocumented or refugees. Yeah, there’d probably be crickets. And also fuck him for ALL OF THIS considering his shitty healthcare bill will doom thousands of people to…

I think we have to consider which signifiers are shifting according to context, and which are fixed. Some modification is inherently misogynistic, and as someone mentioned on this thread, we should criticize the pressure to do things that are damaging, dangerous, and deeply self-abnegating, rather than go whole hog…

In Chris Christie’s defense, if you have an approval rating of 15% and no job prospects what’s the point of NOT acting like the villain of a Depression era comic strip?

they are only closed to us regular jersey people, christie will be having a 4th celebration in his beach house in one of the closed parks

Hey, if I make it anywhere close to 40 I feel like a champ. Dozens of people liked what I had to say. Dozens!!!

Gal Gadot was killed off TWO movies ago (Elsa Pataky was killed in the last movie) and Jordana Brewster seems to have been written out since her love interest’s actor died. Hardly a great sendoff to any of the asskicking women of the franchise.

When someone is complaining about wanting meatier roles for women, I don’t know if the most compelling argument is “These female characters were important! Just look at how they were connected to the important male characters!” :-/

And let’s be clear, it doesn’t seem like she’s complaining about screen time, stunt time or fight scenes.

Like Mia ever developed as a character beyond “loves Brian and is a mom” and Giselle ever developed beyond “hot motorcycle lady who loves Han”

Lol they wrote Mia out after multiples movies where she plays little to no role in the plot, and then killed off Giselle. Those are terrible examples.

I have never watched any of them. But if I knew that scene was in it I’d even pay to see it in the theatre (and with popcorn that’s like a car payment).

I’m not an ally

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

Why do you keep making excuses for strangers if this person is your friend?

Return of the Jedi

Rant away! I love this sort of rant.

A hands-on CEO, who purports (lies like her father) to be as involved in her business and driving its success, would KNOW about Marc Fisher’s past design lawsuits when hiring him. Not knowing is also not an excuse if you have been claiming to the public, like she has, including on daddy’s old tv show to be involved…
