Her excuse for this is bullshit.

Wasn’t the point of this lie to give disaster funding to some farmers in a state that had voted for him even though they only got some rain, though? Or am I confusing this lie with another one?

When has she not been an asshole though? Right around it was said she’d earned her first billion she went on Oprah and if I recall correctly it turned out JKR thanked the woman who had championed her book to get her bosses to publish it with a...hug. H.U.G. That’s all.

I think that what we don’t want to accept is that people like him approve of Nazis and Confederate traitors not because they misunderstand or minimize what they did but because they are comfortable with genocide and enslaving others so long as it benefits them. When they tell others that Nazis didn’t commit a genocide…

That’s true. People say it’s okay that hate speech is protected because the speakers aren’t protected from being sued or boycotted if we want to do it but that’s nonsense. The places where racists feel most comfortable airing their loathsome views and putting up statues dedicated to them have proven time and again…

He is not delusional. Want proof? Look at where he’s displaying this crap-in front of an elementary school that is 60% non-white.

Hi Roo,Sorry to bump into your thread but there are going to be pro-impeachment protests tomorrow afternoon. Here’s a link mentioning them from reddit.

Congratulations! It’s well-deserved. :-D

Perhaps she doesn’t know what was going on with him in the 60s because he apparently saw the error of his ways several years before dying.

Shows who controls the internet. If these were breast fish this would have been trending enough to break the internet a couple of times. 

Yes, in a place swimming with talented, hot looking actresses, I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that an actress auditioning to play a talented, hot looking co-ed, even though she was most famous for playing an earnest schoolgirl, was asked to dress sexy for the audition.

Seeing as Ellen is just some comedian and Michelle Obama is an Ivy-league educated lawyer so I can sorta understand Ellen losing focus on reality like this (though it brings her way down in my estimation) but not MO.

Do you mean the ten year scholarship would start in highschool, as in colleges have to pick who to support financially when the athletes are 12-13 and stand by them no matter what until they’re at the age when they should graduate from college and/or go pro?

True but the scholarship dream we’re selling to boys is much worse and has more serious repercussions. Even if a girl on the pageant circuit doesn’t win and get pageant scholarship money, the good grades she maintained to make herself into a well-rounded contestant means she’ll probably be eligible for scholarship…

I hear you and I’m old enough that I can’t remember a time when pageants weren’t criticized for the reasons you give. I bought into that as surely leading to a more egalitarian society, however, as we convinced young girls that pageant queens who are generally college bound and have to display at least one talent to…

I now see pageants as sponcon culture by an older name. Most of us only noticed the pageants themselves but the winners and runner ups usually spent the year afterwards making appearances and in ads for the dozens of sponsors who financed the prizes and scholarships. This is simply the hiring process for their…

I thought this was a pretty common position. Why would LE officials be pro-gun, though? They carry guns for their jobs in large part because lots of people who shouldn’t be armed (violent offenders, the mentally unstable, irresponsible and untrained citizens, etc) have guns. Gun owners (aside from the small minority…
