There’s also this pervasive notion that compromise = settling. If you have to modify one behavior, or that if your partner can’t modify something about them, then you’re settling for the less than. She won’t look hot for me? I’m not settling! He’s perfect except that he won’t participate in my interests? Settling!

Also, how on earth do you not spend every single moment kissing those darling little fingers? And those perfect little knees? Baby knees and fingers are so darned cute. Congratulations!

It’s very annoying when anyone bashes millenials, usually they bash us for stupid reasons (looking at you, dad)

Good job Pro-Lifers! You just made sure that there will be more abortions because there will be no Planned Parenthood to help women in those areas with birth control and family planning... You fucking idiots.

I’m happy to hear the northern Colorado PP (the one I assume is serving most WY women) will stay open. That was the only place I could get exams and birth control when I was in college, and most of the other women in my dorm went there too because it was close by and inexpensive.

Because Republicans have been the literal worst for decades and put party over country any old day. So long as they have someone they can work with to get rid of abortion access and cut taxes on the wealthy they don’t give a shit about anyone else. Like republicans couldn’t even muster enough empathy to consider…

It’s because they don’t really care. They’re just happy he’s actively placating the shitty ideas they’ve been itching to enact while the country was being run by a relatively rational adult.

I agree. We need to stop looking at what Hillary did “wrong” and start focusing on how to reach the moderates- the conservatives looking right now in abject horror. But voted Republican because abortion or Jesus or something.

Yeah, no. They’re suing to protect all the Joshes of the world.

He also was adamant that Muslims weren’t to blame for terrorism, his immigration policy would have actually been really good. Two wars and torture though make me say no way to W. though.

Increasingly it seems like it really was all a dumb attempt to maintain his and the FBI’s integrity that led him to reopen the Hillary emails investigation so close to the election, with no darker motive behind it. Not sure that changes anything, and it caused extraordinary harm to the US and the world, but it’s…

I guess. I blame Reagan, myself, but there’s a direct line through them all to where we are now.

Yes confused indeed. The Bush’s, now Comey. It’s fucking weird.

It’s never occurred to me that I could call all the Bens/Benjamins etc I know “Jamin” (pronounced as in “jammin’ party”, right?) but now that’s all I will ever call them again.

This article made me feel a little...sad? I don’t really know. I have empathy for Comey

Pro-tip: Calling people by nicknames that they neither use nor have invited you to use comes across as sleezy used car salesman tactics at best, and presumptuous and passive-aggressive at worst.

This is so funny it almost makes me like James Comey. It’s a confusing feeling.

Fun reminder that studies have found that the people who identify as Republican are likely to have less emotional empathy (the ability to sympathize with others) than their liberal counterpart. The belief is that the policies of that party appeal to them rather than the party dictating their lack of empathy.

All Republican voters are either ignorant or malevolent. They either don’t understand what they’re doing or, worse, they do.
