It wasn’t a waffle, it was an honest admittance that she’s still learning about the complexities involved. If she’s “mentored” by senior Dems and comes down on the other side, then it’s more disappointing as a sign she might do the same on other issues, but for now it’s a push.

They are scared shitless of her and I am loving every minute of it.

She also accused those named as having “in some cases monetized their public service” (unlike, say, the president, whose Washington DC hotel has been doing just gangbusters lately, thanks for asking).

They don’t have to be funny or excusable to realize that he’s not the same person he was 10 years ago. None of us are. 

One of the worst parts of Kinjafication: no one understands gimmick posters. Sigh.

And you know the difference and are being intentionally disingenuous. SHE made them WHILE employed for Disney.

On the one hand, those jokes weren’t even close to being funny enough to be excusable.

Republicans - “We believe in states rights.*”

CARB was created to regulate CA’s emissions. Other states signed on because they wanted to follow the same standards. Has nothing to do with CA wanting to control the country.

“And hey, who doesn’t love weird experiments?”

I work in the abortion care field and used to work for a PP. People would follow us home, take photos of us, take photos of our license plates, anything to intimidate and harass. Once a protestor asked how my sibling was doing using my sibling’s first and last name (which is different from mine). How THE FUCK did this…

These people know exactly what they’re doing. They want these health care providers to be harassed, threatened, and probably attacked.

What is the purpose of these mailings? It can only be terrorism.

“Where athletics are perceived as hypermasculine and are, in turn, afforded almost comical reverence, celebrity gossip is a girly, guilty pleasure.”

Hell, I would say that in any objective analysis, sports reporting has done a hell of a lot worse for the world than any reporting on “women’s issues” ever has, for the very simple reason that all Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh ever did was take the same format as sports radio, and import it into political…

Surprised the classic xkcd on the topic hasn’t made an appearance yet.

They do, but it’s still not considered trash the way celebrity news is. A lot of people that complain about how terrible sport media is still hold onto the idea of a purer reporting that could exist in a better world. No one really seems to think gossip stuff could be better; it’s baddness starts at the subject.

You certainly do not need this validation, but holy fucking shit you are completely correct.

Guess a movie doesn’t begin at conception either.
