The media didn’t change the rules. The cultural revolution and feminism changed the rules; they redefined marriage. Women deserve so much more than to be sold into marriages for social and political reasons to a man who will neither love nor be faithful to them. They deserve more than suffering the humiliation of…

I have been consistently impressed by how subtle President Obama’s shade throwing is.
I disagree. History will have a clearer view of his Presidency than we do in the moment. Right now we are so polarized and the cognitive dissonance is so thick that Republicans think they can get away with claiming that it’s unprecedented to nominate a Justice in an election year when there’s one sitting on the…
John Oliver slammed this ad last weekend for speaking for all Americans and using stock footage. He then used the exact same stock footage — and more besides — to call them out on it. I love this man.
I’d like to see something like that, but not from him. Maybe one of his kids can write it later, or some trusted advisor (bonus if it’s some mid level guy that managed to earn respect from both sides). But the man needs to keep his appearance of stoic dignity til the day he dies. It’s not fair at all, but that’s how…
Justice Mariano Florentino Cuellar is an actual Mexican born naturalized citizen unanimously confirmed by both parties in California and he’s among the top 2 candidates. An actual Mexican born naturalized citizen whose family did not speak English and has all the credentials (JD and PhD) Yale, Harvard, Standford.…
He’s trying to stay dignified and above the fray and do as much as he can with what he has. What do you want him to do? Throw a shitfit and call the Republicans names?
Senators refusing to consider any Obama nominee - BEFORE a nominee is even named - is a strait-up admission that they do not intend to evaluate a nominee on the his/her qualifications.
Wait- you’re saying Obama is the one being “deliberately disingenuous” here? He’s the only adult in the fucking room, dude.
“What is this? Is this shade?”
I think you are right and it is both. His entire presidency has been this way, congress is not behaving in any way abnormal to how they have behaved for the past eight years. Somehow though, he has still managed to do his job. So good for him.
eyyyyyyy channeling my inner rubio here and saying that obama knows exactly what he’s doing
Festivals just sound like the worst thing in the UNIVERSE. Like being around thousands of drunk/high people, baking in the sun, and having to use a porta potty. Ughhhh.
^^ honestly, this. If they dig it, fine. If you don’t, don’t read their posts. I think that weird Puritan sex negativity has waaaaay more to do with the whole thing than slightly cheesy writing. And I am NOT down with sex negative editing regardless of the writing skill.
They could have at least linked to Aislinn’s own statement about why she declined to attend. She’s a brilliant and strategic organizer who is too busy organizing with a movement that has changed the political landscape in Chicago to fly to DC to participate in a photo op with the president that was unlikely to have…
Like you said, its already the norm. I definitely share your reservations though. Remember, if we get a guy like Trump in office, we may rue the increasing power of the Pres. However, in the hands of a responsible pres, democrat or republican, it can be a useful tool. (And to any righties that may think I am biased, I…
Yeah, I was pretty clear (I thought, maybe not) that he’s the only person doing anything right now. I don’t disagree one bit.
I’m sure there’s some sort of civil rights nexus. Otherwise the FBI wouldn’t be able to investigate state/local police forces.
Fo reals yo. Although a I have a feeling these two are getting off on being “transgressive” by doing this on insta since amateur porn/erotica is a pretty normalized part of the tumblr-verse.
