Reaganomics and most of the Republican platform then and now is based on the idea that if you give people (and corporations are people, remember?) the choice, they will do what is right on their own and find a better, more economical way to do it than if the government forces them to. But all evidence points to the…

Clerks sucked

I’m just barely old enough to remember the shitstorm that erupted around that interview. It was a moment of brutal honesty in the aftermath of Watergate, when everyone was wondering if any politicians could be trusted to tell the truth (again, this was 1976 - people were very naive about a lot of things). And here…

They’ve always had women and gay writers. In their heyday, the “Playboy Interview” was the gold standard of journalistic interviews. They’ve always taken liberal political stances (including on women’s rights and lgbt rights). The publisher was a woman for over 20 years (Christie Hefner).

Actually, I think the term consensual objectification might be useful in the here and now. This is a world where “thirst trap” means something, and it’s not about dangling a water bottle over a pit of vipers.

Maybe they're still uncomfortable in shoes.

How is anyone surprised that a rich and powerful white man living fifty years ago was racist? I’d be more surprised if you could show me proof that any of them weren’t. 

I heard they pledged Scama Scama Scama.

Okay, but you and your shithead elitist  friends aren’t deciding the election. Hillary tried playing the middle ground in 2016 and it was a colossal failure. This is inarguable. What’s going to win is someone who can pull the disillusioned non-voters off the fucking couch and these “no we can’t” moderates aren’t gonna…

As far as I understand, it’s an organization of nazi sympathizers.

Name a Democrat the Republicans will support?

This isn’t about legitimizing her path to the presidency. It’s about acknowledging that she does something well, and if the frontrunners were smart they would copy some aspects of her approach to messaging on the debate stage. 

She is dead-on about that. Minimum wage and healthcare is not going to move WWC votes because the underlying problem these voters have with Democrats is not based on policy.

“then maybe you need to work on opening your heart chakra.”

She was put on the no-fly list and had an entire secret service investigation into her over this, which is definitely over the top. FWIW, I think she also had to like entirely self-finance and do all the back-end work for this concert special. 

That is Joan Summers of Jezebel’s words/editorialization, not Kathy Griffin’s.

Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming…

Obviously, the NYPD can’t focus its attention on minor crimes like repeated sexual assault and attempted rape by its own when there are purveyors of loose cigarettes prowling the streets un-strangled.

One women said he touched her shoulder / collarbone while she was showing him her tattoo there. She was inviting him to examine a tattoo. He didn’t just touch her out of the blue.

Not all men wrongfully accused were so lucky.
