Hot take: the sex isn’t consensual if it’s being extorted from you because your single most vital personal possession is being held hostage.

Scientology is really not comparable to Islam, or any other established faith with centuries of history and millions upon millions of followers.

In a piece that went up on HuffPost this morning, Moss now says that the show is definitely feminist and she is a “card-carrying feminist,” which I find confusingly contradictory to what she’s said before, but good for her!

Chobani’s owner is an immigrant and he tries to help immigrants and refugees. Chobani is not just a yogurt company to Jones https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/business/for-helping-immigrants-chobanis-founder-draws-threats.html?_r=0 

Whether you like their product or not, their CEO seems to be a pretty great guy. He’s done a whole lot of good for his employees. It’s a super easy choice against Alex Jones who is probably rancid whale spooge personified.

I’m confused. Didn’t Jones just get done arguing that this is all an act?

Sheriff Clarke, like Sheriff Joe, is one of those “tough on crime” types who would happily tear up the Constitution if it meant he could dispense some real frontier justice on the “bad guys” he is so desperate to punish.

“As good fortune would have it, we had a bodyguard that summer,” she writes. They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who “dug deep for their spare change.” The lesson, she says, is that the kids “made the best of a bad situation.”

I love how people think that saying it’s a joke somehow negates the fact they’re being racist or sexist. Who cares it’s only a joke!! Said every bully ever.

Nobody has a sense of humor anymore? How was this comment even remotely funny? One of the most powerful men in the country is a racist who doesn’t seem to understand how 101 level government works and serves under a president who knows even less. Fucking hilarious.

I have said this before and it never stops being true: Donnie sounds like someone trying to have a serious conversation on a ball of cocaine. I really can’t listen to him talk, and when I read the shit he said, he sounds like a puppy that has too many shiny objects and noise makers around it.
