Yeah, between this and the Spider-Man post, I think today is “Fusion Reaching Day” or something. Because we sure are doing a damn good job of trying to find shit to complain about from “our side” rather than taking just one of the plethora of opportunities to do so from the other side.

TIL Facts = racism.

So the next time you’re tempted to spout glowing praise about how great and presidential Macron is compared to the former reality TV pitchman that resides in our Oval Office, maybe think of this moment.

Many of the highest fertility rates in the world are in African countries.

Exactly how is what he said racist...? He talks about failed states and poor transitions, combined with a socio-economic issue based on large-family size and easily inferred from said family-size, need. Takes a lot of Euro to feed 7-8 kids, vs 1-2. It isn’t racist at all. Large-family size is a pretty common…

Maybe I am naive, but to me this reads like him just talking about how profound the crises to be dealt with are. Saying they are civilizational means they threaten the civilization there to it’s core. Saying that there are 7 or 8 children per woman is to give a piece of information to explain why you cannot solve it…

I haven’t listened to the whole thing yet, but wasn’t he blaming a lot of the current situation on France/The West’s imperialistic past?

It’s a tough race between them and people who say that they are their pets’ “mom.”

I hate people that use pets as props.

Good point. Personally, I’m all about compassion. I want for Scalise exactly what I want for myself and everybody else:

I feel like there’s more you need to tell us about your feelings on Amelia. And Tilda.

Of course she’s not dead.

It wasn’t gratuitous. It was directly from the book. Except the book disgustingly made it a non-POV character and it was all about Theon’s redemption saving a girl everyone forgot about from the first book. All of those chapters are how tortured poor Reek is having to watch a girl being raped by dogs.

I noticed you asked people not to talk to you about the popular vote. Why is that?

You see, it WAS great, but then a black guy took over for 8 years, rendering it decidedly NOT great. And now we have to make America great AGAIN. Like it was before the black guy.

You’re not getting screwed, you’re paying $116 a month to maintain a system you can easily buy into if you ever get sick enough that buying insurance makes sense and/or could save your damn life. That’s a lot cheaper than maintaining expensive insurance pre-ACA through your healthy years to avoid getting caught in a…

Thanks for bringing this up. It drives me nuts that this hasn’t gotten more attention. The GOP hasn’t just resisted making any tweaks and improvements to the existing law, they’ve actively worked to sabotage it over the last 6 years.

What’s your issue? Is this some slanderous untruth?

Or someone did not.
