Don’t think I can be friends with him anymore.

It’s part “politics as sport” and part those in power never have to really face the consequences of politics. As a white, (upper?) middle class, cis male, little Trump has done has impacted me directly. If I was even further up the ladder, the impact would be even less. So when the rotating cast of politicians don’t…

America’s media has always loved “insiders” for their “access” or what the fuck ever. It’s why Chelsea Clinton was hired by NBC for...things(?). It’s why Megan McCain always has a job. These people don’t do anything and no one outside of the political theater likes them but the political media LOVES them.

This is a large part of the gaping divide between the Biden generation’s politics-as-sport and the younger generation’s politics-as-morality view of the world. If it’s all just a game, well, good show Kirstjen, you fought hard, good game, see you out there next time. If we see it all in a moral context, she’s guilty…

As far as I can tell, the Christian Right likes to think that they don’t exist, or that if they do, they have violated the Prime Directive by decoupling sex from reproduction.

Also, her outfit is cute.

She’s not stupid. She’s just used to getting what she wants. If you’ve always gotten everything, why would you think this is different.

I was accepted into my first choice college and had to turn it down for financial reasons. I was furious with my parents at the time, but I ended up being so, so happy at the school I went to instead. When you’re 18, and in the bubble of senior year, going to your TOP CHOICE school feels like the most important thing…

I think the “think smartly” part should exclude this person from any decision making whatsoever

honestly anything that has “southern california” associated with it makes me want to avoid it like the plague. I fucking hate southern california. It is the colostomy bag into which all of America’s hubris and vanity drains.

Because despite the number of Christian talking heads who say that sex is a wonderful thing in the context of marriage, most fundies actually believe that sex and sexual pleasure are evil. To them, sex is justified by its role in reproduction, and therefore tolerable within marriage. But the idea of adults - even…

Also, why keep referring to "adults" plural when you're only legislating consequences for one of them? (Obviously rhetorical)

“I don’t think that there should be any exceptions to murder, no matter what.” How much you want to bet he’s okay with killing someone if they’re trying to rob your house or carjack you? Stand your ground and all that *EYEROLL* 

And the fact that she wanted the girls to have things that she never had growing up.”

Somebody has to go to jail, Becky.

I HATE THIS SO MUCH SOMEONE ARREST THE PARENTS 

This happens in what you would think is a barren Kansas landscape.  Our beautiful fields of sunflowers, trampled; our beautiful Konza Prairie, littered with trash.  We don’t deserve nature and I cannot imagine the long sigh of relief from plants and animals when humans finally disappear, no matter how long it takes.

So basically this poor kid is getting all the neuroses of a child actor without any actual fame?

God I fucking hate everything.

So incredibly disturbing.
