Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.

Orthodox Jewish women wear wigs, and the men wear hats as an expression of their religion. Sikhs (both men and women) do not shave, as an expression of their religion. Banning veils is effectively like banning religious headwear or saying that you have to shave your body hair in order to integrate. It’s the most…

Yeah! If they want religious freedom so bad why don’t they move back to a country that will execute them for not wear... ummm, wait ... Just because Western countries separate church and state doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be laws preventing religious garb ... No that’s not it either. Oh Ive got it! Security. What are…

Yup, it’s almost like they forgot who was a proud son of Austria and what he spent a decade doing in the first part of the 20th century.

This makes so much sense, though. The way to stop religious communities from enforcing rules on how women dress is to have governments pass laws enforcing how women dress.

Im not saying the head thing wasnt in poor taste but its really funny what small things the right will say is the breaking point that the left needs to apologize for but they wont apologize for nazis who support trump

This is also a typical abuser world upside-down mindfuck bullshit. Somebody behaves so erratically horrible all the time that you start feeling grateful whenever they for once act like a normal human being. Don’t fall for it, Anybody Who Will Listen.

Exactly how is what he said racist...? He talks about failed states and poor transitions, combined with a socio-economic issue based on large-family size and easily inferred from said family-size, need. Takes a lot of Euro to feed 7-8 kids, vs 1-2. It isn’t racist at all. Large-family size is a pretty common…

People are also forgetting that these kids had _just_ been accepted. The admissions officers at super-selective schools have thousands and thousands of really amazing applicants to choose from. It’s only logical that they would prefer to pick up one of the just-as-qualified kids off the wait list rather than sticking…

“So amazing + will NEVER FORGET!”

I’m kind of glad people are outing themselves as Trump supporters to be honest. Because that’s tantamount to outing yourself as a racist, homophobe, misogynist, and Islamophobe, among other things. It’s never been this easy to remove people from my life.

For fucks sake. I am trying very hard to relate to law enforcement perspective, but I am quite tired of being told to think about how their families feel not knowing if their loved ones will come back after work, and the stress that creates. It amazes me that they demand this while failing to understand how black…

The Countrywide mortgage fiasco. I wasn’t with countrywide but the bank I was with went bankrupt and got bought up by BoA. A payment got stuck in between the two and even though BoA was well aware I, and many others, made my payment, they still tried to collect and charge late fees for months.

When my psych nurse position was eliminated I went into...wait for it...nursing Aids patients. Reagan certainly ensured my employment in that area of nursing for years to come. Just another one of the many reasons that, to this day, I hate Reagan with a fiery passion. I use the word hate only because they haven’t yet…

What? After every single mass shooting in the last decade the first thing people say is “must be insane”. That is the result of the gun nuts always looking to blame away the tragedy. Now you mention the comments on Jezebel, and while, at times the are presumptive, that is the natural reaction to centuries of men…

+1 for this. To have one, JUST ONE, girls magazine that focuses on thinking and science, and as the name suggests, discovering cool things about the world around you is apparently too damn much to ask.

I get angry from guilt trips too, which has its own set of problems. My mom likes to ask “why don’t you love me?” Which is such an infuriating question because it’s really “why don’t you love me in the way I deem acceptable? Why can’t you be the person I wanted you to be? Why aren’t you like me?”

I’ve been a poor single working parent and an upper class married working parent, and imo upper class white married parents who are miserable are full of bullshit. On a daily basis, the worst thing parenting is 99% of the time is tedious. And yes at times it’s exhausting. But my kids were also fun and entertaining.…
