We’ll have to disagree about the “media/political” establishment. I still think he’s giving far too much credit to the influence of politics, which I guess is not surprising coming from a political news site.

If she’d said, “I can’t understand how I could have been so naive,” or “I’d heard, but I never believed,” I would have given her the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, but here’s the thing: The liberal media going nuts over a sexual harassment case is actually entirely in-line with liberal ideology. They should be doing that for anybody. That there is more silence about Weinstein than there should be hasn’t got shit to do with politics. Nobody is sitting on a juicy story like…

Or she knew and decided being a famous actress glittering in awards recognition was more important than some nobody getting shoved around.

I have a theory that “The Fappening” and all related celeb nude leaks were NOT pulled off Apple servers, but instead pulled from Weinstein’s phone/emails/Something along those lines. Hollywood is a sick, disgusting world and the thought of a big time producer forcing his clients to send him auditions photos isn’t a…

As a 1/4 Italian American and having heard stories from my grandfather about how Italian Americans were treated... Obviously he lived long enough to tell me the stories. So it wasn’t anywhere near as what the African Americans or Indigenous People went through. But he never spoke against the civil rights movement or…

I find this a tad difficult to believe. Even if “Grande Dame Meryl” was never personally harassed by this slimebag, I’m sure she heard stories about other people that were and maybe chose to disregard because it didn’t happen to her and she didn’t want to lose the work relationship.

(with Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Saturday Night Live not touching the story at all)

HIKE YOUR PANTS UP...

Here you go, sweetie. Fun, happy, and violent all at once!

He has dirt on a majority of the GOP, it’s pretty obvious. He had nothing on Corker so he’s trying to make up lies about him. Whenever Ryan or McConnell say something negative, Trump insults them and they back down. It’s definitely a sign that he’s got info on them they want to keep secret.

I was at the airport bar a couple weeks ago when a young woman realized she left her wallet in the car. She left ALL HER THINGS at the bar (it was in Iowa) and ran to her car to retrieve it. A handful of men were there and they were all trying to figure out how she got to the airport bar without it.

Good God I’m glad I didn’t go to school in the US. It could have happened, though, had my parents not divorced and my Canadian mother wisely moved north. The only issues I had to deal with were being one of the only kids of color in an almost entirely white school system.

When you voluntarily recite a pledge or salute a symbol, it’s called Patriotism.

You have a point. I was uncomfortable the other day when at a perfectly nice free concert the singer launched into Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” and a bunch of old white people suddenly all started standing and covering their hearts.

When I was in school back in the 90's, there were a few students that opted out for religious reasons, so rather than make everyone jump through the hoops, the option was extended to everyone. Some sat at their desks, some stood but didn’t say the pledge, some did the whole nine yards. And no one gave a shit. Of…

Yes to all of this.

honor the texas flag, i pledge allegiance to thee...

Finally, there’s an ideal I can get behind. That this super-patriotism is comparable to idolatry is something I’ve thought of before myself. Glad to see there’s at least a little self-awareness in the religious community. I will differ to her belief in that lying wizard though.

Because white women are a monolith and the actions of some represent them all, right??
