My thoughts exactly - like, you only just now realized what a fucking lunatic this guy is? Did you spend the last year in a fucking coma?

That’s what stuns me so much about this election. The sheer number of Republicans who seem gob smacked by Trump and his followers. Why? How? 8 years ago they accepted the Tea Party with open arms. They voted in the Bachman’s, the Cruz’s and the Huckabee’s of the country. The Jindal’s and the Walker’s. Every one of…

The definition has been thoroughly warped beyond belief. Back in the day, no doubt in Senator Collins’ formative years, everyone in New England was a Republican and it meant something completely different. It wasn’t about this anti-intellectual, fundamentalist bigotry. I’m guessing Collins has been clinging to the…

It doesn’t necessarily take balls to finally do the right thing.

If she’s not voting for Clinton its absolutely toothless. I won’t vote for him but I won’t vote for his opponent is the same shit Mark Kirk is trying to pull. Trump is lagging badly in her purple state and she wants to save face since she has the most bipartisan record of any Republican in the senate. She works within…

Imagine if you had done that a year ago. But no, party loyalty means you go along with not speaking out against the racist maniacs in your party.

Caitlyn was/is doing NOTHING to support or represent real LGBTQ people. She has ignorantly dismissed nearly every single issue trans & gay people face and repeatedly misrepresented the conservative platform as supportive of trans & queer rights. She exiled herself by being stupid and denying the reality “her girls”…

The only good thing about this is that he’s getting his reputation destroyed while he is still alive to see his legacy go to hell. It still makes me mad that Jimmy Saville died a beloved character and never saw any consequences of his actions.

Totally agree. Actually watched all of both seasons, and thought it appeared to have been done with solid thought and intention, as the women brought on the show *with* Caitlyn were unbelievably amazing, smart, fantastic badasses. I loved watching Jenny Boylan, Kate Bornstein, Zackary Drucker, and the others. They’re…

To be fair, that was the most poorly made expensive-looking movies I’ve seen in years. SPOILERS:

Yes, we as a very oppressed community (where you can murder us and get away with it with a “trans panic” defense) should be welcoming to a woman who actively does not give a shit about us and is supporting the things that hurt us.

I think it’s less relatable than it is aspirational. They’re uneducated, stupid, and talentless, yet hugely popular and very rich. So people watch them and think, “I could do that.” In truth, without your own pimp Kris, who’s happy to sell her kids to the highest bidder at any age and is a fierce marketing negotiator,…

Caitlyn Jenner is not an enigma. She is a vapid, selfish jerk without two thoughts to rub together. She would be a terrible representative of any community.

What? You have no idea what you’re talking about here. She values being a woman as “not looking like a man in a dress” and she actively votes for the things that hurts the trans community.

I was in Provincetown while she was there earlier this summer—huge entourage, bodyguards, I believe a police escort at one point. Didn’t talk to anyone. Nobody wanted to talk to her. Mind you, this is a place where the likes of John Waters, Andy Cohen, Cheyanne Jackson, famous drag queens, and whatever other gay power…

Telling me to essentially ‘suck it up you’ll get over it’ would be completely unfair and that would be the insulting part. What’s next? Batman has to be Latino? Iron man has to be transsexual? Spider-man has to be gay?

I have no problem with them fleshing out backstory, The Mr. Freeze thing to my knowledge before he didn’t really have much of a real backstory so that wasn’t so much a change as it was filling in to make him more sympathetic.

To your last point, I don’t see how you lose any of Superman’s farmboy-ness in a conception where he’s raised in a rural place in the Deep South. It’s not going to be rolling fields of wheat or corn to the horizon, and it might be a smaller plot of land all together, but that would be more reflective of actual small…

The concept of ‘Batman as a black man’ is a simple one, and surely there can’t be that many white supremacist organizations to knock around full time. But in contrast to alt-right criticism, the fairness of having heroes who are people of color seems way down the list of advantages it offers.
