Ugh, I really hate the “I’m not perfect and no one else is!” response after someone has royally fucked up. No one is saying she needs to be perfect and you don’t need to be perfect to know that it is inadvisable to use drugs while you’re in competition. 

I’m really enjoying the hell out of this show. For one thing, it hits really close to home for me for a lot of reasons. (Not least of which being both the number of Allisons I’ve known in my life, and the overwhelming pressure I was under while growing up to become one myself.)

Before tonight’s episode I might have agreed with you. But after this episode, I truly think the “sitcom world” Kevin is 100% Allison’s psychological coping mechanism and that’s not the real Kevin at all. I could be wrong but I think the show is heading towards showing Kevin in Allison’s dramatic world and when that…

THANK YOU.

You know, I am 100% supportive of the President in his attempts to get even the dumbass Republicans who think of this as a Fox News Culture War They Must Win to get themselves vaccinated. Joe Biden is so much better than Voldemort that I’m willing to support anything he wants to do. He’s intelligent, knows how the…

It’s a mean-spirited and pointless article.

Let Uncle Joe be cringe

Of course it’s dopey. Most gubmint publicity schemes are. But any strategy to get a few more of the lumpen to shuffle on down and take the shot is ok in my book. As fucked up as the whole thing is, around 2/3 is pretty much miracle territory.

You want Trump as president? Because this kind of complaining is how you get Trump as president.

I mean, it was going to fail when you note that a huge chunk of republicans aren’t going to get vaccinated unless we hid it in a slice of cheese

Okay, so full agreement that this is ridiculous, that she should be allowed to run, and all of it, but:

Yep, he just didn’t test positive a month before he was to compete in the Olympics. He was suspended and lost a bunch of sponsorships from it for 3 months over a photo...not actually testing positive. He was also suspended for 6 months for a DUI or something like that and missed a World Championship so I am not sure…

Treat her like a human being who deserves the right to be in public without being harassed by strangers or camera-wielding paparazzi. Let her frolic on the beach in a bikini or sit with her toes in the sand! Let her LIVE.

I say this both as a 90's kid whose favorite athlete ever is Scottie Pippen, and as a white man who takes accusations of racism very seriously:

Oh Emily,

Her testimony reads like someone who is exhibiting a lot of concerning symptom. The pressured speech, flight of ideas-bouncing from little details in unrelated stories, grandiose thinking, paranoia. She’s not making points about how she is healthy now, but doesn’t want an evaluation to show she is in a healthier…

I sympathize with her, but I also feel like fans advocating on her behalf do not have a full and complete picture of her mental health. They’ve filled in the blanks with their own beliefs about her, which may not align with the reality that the judge is privy to.

Dont worry, as someone with clinical depression who takes an SSRI - I can assure you there are much bigger things to get up in arms about.

I fly the Stars & Stripes on our house BECAUSE the Right and MAGA chuds have been allowed to define what patriotism and love of country are, and I’m sick of it and I’m not going to let them define what the Flag means.

I know too many people who aren’t Trump supporters, but who have American flags up or around, to ever make this association. Now, the Gadsden flag is another matter entirely.
