I just tried watching while on my pumping break (yayyy working motherhood) but I couldn’t get through more than 5 minutes of Grassley’s fake obsequiousness. Fuck him and all the rest of them. Good luck, Dr. Ford. We are with you. 

I think this completely normal (tragic, but completely normal), and I’m sorry it happened to you. The day after he was elected I felt a tremendous sense of detachment from reality. I cried for two days. It was depressing and anxiety-inducing and so confusing, and fuck my coworker forever for looking at me with pity,…

Yeah, the anyonmous accusations should be treated with care. This is why an investigation is needed. A republican released the letters, they aren’t doing that because they care.

If he’s like most Republicans I’ve known, he does legitimately care about his immediate female family members and female friends. He would defend them from attacks and seek justice and/or vengeance on their attackers.

Lime.

Father to two daughters does not have to mean shit regarding concern for them. There are too many parents that abuse, molest, neglect, sell, even kill their kids, simply having children doesn’t make one concerned for their well-being automatically. Some dad’s are useless shit while others would take a bullet for their …

They should have cut his mic and let her talk. Absurd to let him bully her because he yells louder and is just a colossal asshole.

“Can you give me a chance?” scream-whines the man who has not yet let a woman respond to his prior comments. What an asshole. 

“You don’t call me out like that on national television,” Caputo said.

Gotta love Toobin’s rhetorical deftness, which somehow got Caputo to nod in agreement that Trump and Republicans writ large support rapists. 

The real question now is why Republicans are trying to push forward with his nomination. In a sane world, it makes no sense. When Bush put forward a bad nominee, he withdrew her name after it became evident that her confirmation would be difficult. There are probably at least twenty very high-quality conservative…

Caitlyn leaves behind her a wake of shattered families and mostly ignored children too.

I relapsed after 10 years of sobriety the day the elections results came back.  I shit you not, I was recovering from a back surgery, realized Donald Fucking Trump was going to be the POTUS.  My mind began to fragment and the only thing I could think of was to take a few pain pills to blot out this new reality.  I was…

I absolutely fucking hate him. I don’t know what else to say at this point.

No. You don’t get a “shout out” or “deserve credit” for being a decent person. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you stood up for the right things forcefully growing up and it’s great you were willing to face the shit raining down and didn’t compromise your beliefs. But the whole thing, the whole problem, with the…

“Twelve years ago, I received no such feedback; in fact, it was the opposite—all those +1s. I was allowed and encouraged to be cruel, and so I was.”

The thing that always infuriates me about these “You can’t go after someone for something that happened thirty years ago, it’ll ruin their life” comments:

Dear old white guys,
