Offred, I hear you.

Ugh. Yes. Once your kid rapes a drunk girl who is puking AND RECORDS IT he is no longer a good kid.

How much further in the sand could his mother's head be? You raised this monster, now fucking deal with him. Because this isn't his last time.

Yeah there's the "kid got busted drinking in the park with his friends" and then there's "kid rapes a girl and takes a photo" ... not QUITE the same thing.

Can we drop the "good kid/person who made some mistakes" narrative as a defense? The only thing that sentence means is "yes [he/she] is a [rapist/murderer/pedophile/violent bigot], but I [the speaker] still love [him/her]." Honestly, I couldn't care less that you still love your rapist son or violent bigot husband. …

while his parents defend him as a good kid "who's made some mistakes."

"Well, I dunno," Williams says, innocently. "You have a crazy-ass job, sir."

The cognitive disconnect is strong here. Like, a teenage girl is not responsible enough to make her own decision about abortion but totes responsible enough to be a mother!

I don't know that I understand. So, the fetus' attorney can call witnesses against the pregnant teen girl and they say... what? They're testifying against her getting an abortion, so are they going to say nice things about her? Like, she's totes responsible and will be a great mom and, as such, shouldn't be allowed to…

human treasure talks to human garbage about non humans, is a treasure, makes garbage mad.

so i wanted to make a joke about the only "fetal lawyer" i'd accept is a fetus who has passed the bar. and i wanted to find an image of a fetus sonogram with a briefcase. so i googled "fetus briefcase" and this is what i got:

I loved watching this man get progressively more pissed off. She's so delightfully ballsy, even for a Daily Show reporter.

I'm picturing him communicating with his client via tomato soup can.

You forgot the $ caveat. No cash, no sorority.

WTH...french manicure is tacky now?! Where's my damn memo!?

You arrive at college. You have been ripped away from all of your support systems at home. Maybe you didn't have much of a support system at home. You are confused and lonely and wobbly and excited and don't even know where your feet are.

I know there are thousands of women in sororities and millions who have been. WHY?! I can usually come up with a devil's advocate argument for why people might do things I don't understand, but I got nothing on this one.

Yeah, this new FOA seems less "unfair punishment" and more "correcting the fact that this wasn't already required."

I second that. What would have been better revenge is something on the lines of "vendors mysteriously cancelling" as it clearly sounds like the bride used her to get her wedding planning shit done for FREE. Not cool.

As someone who regularly teaches Machiavelli, I'd argue that he would not deem this behavior as "cruelty well-used," but rather as "cruelty abused" and thus not the behavior of a good leader. See: The Prince, Chapter 7
