I agree with you, though I think the point was that it was clearly unhealthy, and less a commentary on making long-term partnerships work.

She really had a lot of wise tidbits about sex and relationships that definitely resonated with me when I was younger & watching the show. I properly watched the whole series in college, and her attitudes toward self-worth and not letting a man make you feel like anything less were pretty powerful considering it is a…

You know who objectifies Ivanka Trump the most?

Calling someone a feckless cunt is not the same thing as reducing someone to a body part or objectifying her. She didn’t say “all that feckless Ivanka is good for is her is her cunt” or something to that effect. Criticizing a woman for her shitty behavior is not sexism. I guess if Samantha Bee had just written off an…

I put the odds at 50-50 this is exactly what happens. NK gives up nothing but some meaningless symbolic gestures, and Trump gets to open the Trump Hotel Pyongyang (with financing help from the Russians and Chinese, natch) and considers it a victory. Just another corrupt revenue stream from a foreign government.

Ivanka has been sold to the public as a sort of moderating force on her father - a counterbalance to his worst impulses. She represents the U.S. on trips abroad, even though she was not elected and has no political experience. Her public statements lean strongly on the idea of working mothers and families.

Did you even read the article? There is a positive correlation between racial resentment and supporting welfare cuts. It has nothing to do with the size of the population of either group - though there are more white people that receive government assistance than many think.

Yeah, they think poor people just lack the motivation and hard work required to get out of poverty, as if wages haven’t been stagnant for the last 30+ years and poor people are some of the hardest working in the country.

Studies have shown that conservative white people are more likely to be hostile toward government assistance of all kinds because they wrongly believe that people of color (particularly black people) are the largest recipients of said government assistance. It’s essentially just racism, and not wanting their tax…

Or they can afford borrowing $1.5 trillion from the future to give to corporations and the wealthiest Americans, but they still want to claw-back $ from CHIP

I wish I had more stars to give

Seconded for SF :)

I grew up in Phoenix, and while AZ is full of Republicans, they are less bible-belty Republicans and more “I love my guns and hate paying taxes with a heaping spoonful of racism” Republicans. There are some Mormons but it’s not as hardcore evangelical as the other states in the South. Hell, they had a Democratic…

“On second thought, just put me back under.”

She thought she was entitled the endless mulligans that Trump (somehow) gets (from a depressingly large percentage of this country and some of the media) when popping off on Twitter and elsewhere with racist comments. She was under the impression that in Trump’s America, there is no comment too racist or too terrible…

This is very true, and I’m sorry you had to deal with this shitty mother. I’m sure she didn’t think through that she was teaching her child to see someone with a disability as an “other” but I wonder how many of our problems could be solved if parents did. As children are evidence of, these are not innate beliefs and…

He just wants the headlines - good or bad, he wants to be seen as A Serious Foreign Policy Guy when we all know that it’s not true. It’s just an ego trip for him and you know he loves the talk of the Nobel as if that is ever going to happen. He lacks the self-awareness to know he will trip over his own dick and make…

Has anyone set up a gofundme or some other way to help donate to support this woman’s right to choose? If her insurance won’t cover it, I’m sure there are plenty of women (myself included) that would pitch in to help.

someone posted this in response to *45's tweet and it’s perfect

This is a very good reason to keep the tags on :)
