Hm. 🤔 I never considered Hit Me Baby One More Time as having domestic violence overtones. Could be because I was 17 when the song came out. Maybe Max Martin was thinking of phrase “hit me up.” Anyways, Crazy is the best early Britney song.

“So if you’re going to pull a random rant about a dead guy remotely related to cars who used to date underage girls...”

Nobody is calling him Jimmy Saville, that man was a literal rapist and the devil incarnate. But it’s not great, and it’s worse because he’s Paul Walker. When it’s some middling dude with no prospects who winds up with a 16 year old because they’re impressionable and fall or an older man then while it is creepy and…

Less than half his age?

I mean, the article doesn’t say it’s as creepy as Saville, and I don’t think it is. But “not as bad as Jimmy Saville” is a pretty low bar to clear, and Walker’s predilection is still troublesome and kinda creepy.

Maybe this is just me speaking for myself, but I think dating someone less than half your age is intrinsically creepy.

But it is usually women who face this. They don’t actually care about women or minority rights. Only their own. 

I know a guy, a police officer. He dated a fellow officer for a few years. When they broke up in a messy fashion he posted multiple pictures of her on-line. He faced no sanction, but within a year she was essentially forced to quit. He’s still on the job. I’ve heard he considers it vindication.

Your daily reminder that the United States does NOT have a justice system. We have a legal system. And it is callous as fuck. It continues to trample on the dignity of people everywhere. Especially women and minorities.

I guess black and red would be too on the nose.

At this point I have absolutely no confidence he’ll be impeached.  First everyone said he wouldn’t win the election.  Then everyone said he wouldn’t last his first year.  Now here we are halfway done with the second year, scandal upon scandal upon scandal, and no impeachment in sight.  This bastard is going to last…

Yes, especially right now-- This is definitely what the president should be spending his time on.

“And it’s gonna be red, white and blue, which I think is appropriate.”

Retires, impeached, dies from the toxic chemicals absorbed into his system through contact with the soccer ball Putin gave him. Any way works for me, really. 

Jackie Kennedy had good taste. Saying Air Force One is a “Jackie Kennedy color”is not an insult. In fact it’s undestatedly iconic. Since Jackie Kennedy oversaw the remodeling of the White House can we expect Trump to remake it in his own tasteless gaudy image? Every time I’ve heard Trump wants to remodel something I…

Yeah, I’m SUPER stoked my tax dollars are being used for this bullshit.

“...It’s gonna be white, blue, and red, which I think is appropriate...since those are the colors of our new parent nation!”

But you guys, he READS and LEARNS.

Very true, but that’s always the case with the right. “Do as I say, not as I do!” Republicans will forgive republicans for anything.

Kavanaugh has stated outright that presidents shouldn’t be indicted...
