I’m starting to wish someone would do a deep dive on the relationship between Mike Johnson and Covenant Eyes. This asshole mentions that program so often he’s absolutely getting some kind of kickback.

Sigh. I’m fighting a losing battle here and I know it. But this:

Don’t give these people any ideas...they’ll take them.

Agree to disagree. :) 

I agree that it had a real heart and soul, as you say. But there are plenty of films that have lots of heart and good intentions and still aren’t great films. I didn’t mean to dismiss it as total fluff; my opinion is just that the finished package wasn’t Oscar quality (probably because they chose goddamn Barbie as a…

Even someone who didn’t totally love Barbie can admit that.

I just didn’t think it was that good. In my (obviously joyless and grumpy) opinion, if you want to make a dramatic film that’s good, don’t make it a musical. No amount of good filmmaking can stand against the ridiculous moment when cast members burst into song. It works fine in live theater, and even in comedic films (…

My goodness.

Calm down, folks. This is Nancy Mace we’re talking about. She’ll walk into the voting booth and pull the lever for whoever has stroked her feefees most pleasantly in the week before the election. All Biden has to do is send her a fruit basket.

Truthfully, I’d guess not that many. He’s a tightwad who never pays his debts. I’m guessing he promises to pay for the abortion, the girl fronts the money and then waits...and waits....much like every single Trump-hired contractor in New York and Atlantic City.

I’m also ready to take bets on how many secret abortions this guy has paid for. 

Yep. Dude is absolutely the Senator in Godfather II.

It’s only government when someone else does it.

1000%. 

These guys really show their ass (npi) when they want to repeal no-fault divorce. Remember the good old days when a battered wife couldn’t get out of the marriage without dragging the whole thing out publicly in court and reliving it all? Dusty does!

Hope you’re right about 1, agree about 2.

I’m okay with this. Nothing says that after clawing back 24 weeks, we can’t go for the big prize. 24 weeks would help a lot of people in the interim, and I don’t think any pro-choice person out there is going to fall for the old “this is good enough and can never be undermined” bit again. Pretty sure we all know how…

Depends. Do you have a penis, God-approved heterosexual feelings and minimal melanin?

I agree, but I’ve also seen a bunch of guys together looking at, say, a half-naked woman in a perfume ad and then dismissing her because she’s not hot enough. I’ve also seen the dynamic in a breakroom at one of my old jobs when a group of guys were rating women in the office based on hotness to decide which of them…

An honest question, splinter, because I know you hate The Religion like I do: Sometimes I think getting rid of religion would fix so many things, and then sometimes I worry that if we got rid of religion, leaving 1. a bunch of weak-minded people who still need to be told what to do by SOMEBODY, and 2. a bunch of…
