The Lifecycle of a Woman:

Trump said “she is strong and doing well” to contrast that against his expectations of women, he was clearly thinking she was going to be hysterical and crying in a corner.

She is strong and doing very well.

Talk about misreading your audience. Get this guy in a Presentation 101 class.

talk of previous violent incidents, expression of paranoia, overreaction to workplace changes, unstable/emotional responses, feeling of arrogance/supremacy, intense anger/hostility, violations of policy, exploiting/blaming others

Men can get breast cancer, less prevalent, however I hope they all get that now

It’s amazing how neatly this (depressingly common) opinion showcases how we consider men the default and women a weird aberration.

To give you a sense of how much Republican lawmakers care about women, take this vignette from Senator Pat Roberts today. When asked by a TPM reporter if he supported repealing Obamacare, Roberts sarcastically responded, “I wouldn’t want to lose my mammograms.”

That whole Twitter thread about mammograms was “men get breast cancer too” JFC, screening women for breast cancer just isn’t enough isn’t it, it’s only worth something if men benefit. I’m so angry right now.

Actually no, the prez said more than nothing, he gave an interview where he said roughly, ‘sometimes it’s actually the people being targeted who are the ones making the threats’ and now this utter piece of shit just gave him and his idiot followers (about 20% of the population) validity.

I’m Reform, but my brother is Orthodox and he never misses an opportunity to tell me I’m not a “real” Jew. We are currently estranged. I hope with all my heart that this isn’t a similar situation where certain Jewish organizations were targeted for not being observant enough. Similarly, I pray that this wasn’t a

Fuck. An Israeli kid.

Yes!! This is where the difference lies. Concepts like “Diversity” apply only to the inclusion of straight white men. Just like how “freedom of speech” only applies to speech that adheres to the conservative platform.

I love how republicans tell the rest of us to grow up, but then they take time out of their super important jobs to weight in on a college election that doesn’t really matter.

The thing is if Mcintosh had been a “minority student,” then I doubt Rick Perry would have taken time out of his precious schedule to attack Brooks.

“I don’t remember much about meeting the president of the United States except the exact words he spoke to me and where I was when he spoke them. But, otherwise, it’s all a little hazy.”

Time to circle the wagons around the leader of the free world: Angela Merkel

If this investigation doesn’t lead to trump being impeached, the little faith I have in our democracy will be completely dead.
