Good.

While Swalwell’s choice of words is...regrettable, the point stands. McCarthy is being led around by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie. Taylor. Greene. Let that sink in. If being controlled by a deranged psycho who doesn’t know her ass from her elbow isn’t the definition of weakness, I don’t know what is.

I should have thrown a s/ in there. I don’t care about them using the word pussy. I think it’s great that McCarthy brought it up himself, and that Swalwell called him a pussy directly because he knew McCarthy wasn’t going to do shit about it. McCarthy set himself up for it and Swalwell was happy to oblige. 

As a child of two retired public library directors, I weep for your children.

Sort of proves Swalwell’s point, amiright? Freaking glorious.  

Ever since I read LA Confidential back in the day I’ve favoured “shitbird” myself. Not gendered, not attacking anyone for disability or sexuality or the like, and yet fabulously insulting, people really don’t like it.

While I agree with your point, unlike the headline, the post makes it sound more like the terminology was McCarthy’s contribution; he told Swalwell the price on those wolf tickets, and the Dem promptly counted out each bill

I agree 100% we can all bre more creative and varied with our insults. That said the gendered stuff really cuts the GOP snowflakes to their core. Is it worth taking the low road to fuck with someone? Usually not, for these clowns I'm willing to let slide though. 

It is widely known that people who can kick somebodies ass, and have already long ago given themselves a permission slip to kick somebodies ass, do not announce they will kick somebodies ass prior to the ass kicking.

Pussy, the insult, comes from the word pusillanimous, which means showing a lack of courage or determination. You’re not calling them a vagina, you’re calling them a coward.

Yeah, well, you better not call me that a third time!

Oh you want me to believe a tough guy conservative is really just a full of shit, all talk, weak ass punk?

Hey, I don’t know him, but I don’t like him

“According to both sources, McCarthy told Swalwell, “If you ever say something like that to me again, I’m gonna kick the shit out of you.” There was some back-and-forth between the two, the witnesses said, leading up to McCarthy telling the Democrat, “Call me a pussy again and I’ll kick your ass.”

For the love of Christ! Fight in front of C-SPANs cameras!

The drama-free way to handle this:

Agree, agree, agree. He’s definitely the primary asshole in this situation.

You are right. But I do think there is room to also look at Ariana critically because she HAS cheated in numerous relationships and has been a homewrecker in numerous relationships.

I do think there is something culturally to be said for a girl who still looks like she did when she was a Disney child star having been…

Okay, but “Not a girl’s girl” is a brutal kneecapper of a line. Bet that one follows her around for awhile.
