If you haven’t seen it, you should all watch/listen to this interview with McKayla Maroney from a great gymnastics podcast called Gymcastic. She talks very frankly about her coaches and their treatment of her throughout her career.

I suspect equestrian sports are too stereotypically “white” for it be cool to like too much.

Truth. I’m not even a horse person and I know this. Is this a country people thing?

Hell, forget about making it look invisible—I’d like to see the people who knock dressage as not a real sport just try to *stay on* a Grand Prix horse at a medium or extended trot.

“Look, all you did is command a wild animal to do your bidding with just your thighs. That’s not skillful or athletic!”

Kara needs to step off Dressage. It’s really hard to ballance a 1200lb beast while looking like you are doing nothing. Also, anyone who can watch a freestyle and not cry is a robot.

Really? I would be uncomfortable with some obviously trans women in the women’s room. I know women are conditioned to always be nice about these things, but I’ve had enough bad experiences with people in general to be wary. It would depend on the trans woman. I’m sure some of them are fine, and I’m sure I don’t even

I wouldn’t say that’s true. Me, I don’t know any woman who cares about peeing next to another person who identifies as a woman. What we worry about is sharing bathrooms with self-identified men, and what could potentially happen if no one was allowed to monitor who used which bathroom. I have friends who’ve been

Literally, nobody is preventing him from peeing. Whether he thinks he is a female or not is irrelevant, he has a penis and I guarantee you he knows how to use it to pee. Oh and guess what, if he really wants to sit down, male bathrooms have toilets too. Problem solved. Relax, his kidneys aren't going to burst.

Nope. It’s not a ledger book. If they decide to support you, it doesn’t necessarily come with strings, especially if you didn’t court the vote. She’s not courting—they are voting against someone, not for someone. The Bernie folks were being courted and got her to move to the left on a number of issues. She is doing

Yet another reason why the Bernie-or-Bust idots make me so annoyed. Hillary wants to win (not because she’s a craven bitch, but because when you run for president generally speaking you are trying to win), and if you promise that you’ll never, ever, ever vote for her then she’ll stop trying to get your vote. She’ll

Hillary is the original universal healthcare supporter and is pushing for subsidized childcare and free college tuition. I mean, this is progressive stuff by U.S. standards.

Oh please. Just because some Republicans have recognized the threat posed to the world by Trump and have decided to back Clinton doesn't make her less progressive. it just means they would rather cast a vote for someone who won't blow up nearly 250 years of foreign relations and cast the world into chaos or tear apart

Easy to think that given he didn’t run. He’s given it quite a few tries, and has been brought down by something or other every time. He’s a lovely guy, but like anyone with a long record of service, there’s plenty of shit to pick at, and the book’s been out on him for quite some time. Selfishly, as a big fan of his,

She’s doing just fine in the polls. But I understand the need to inflate your self-importance, since you didn’t get a participation trophy for voting in the primary.

When you act this stupid at the convention you deserve to be mocked relentlessly. If you’re not an asshole Bernie supporter than it isn’t about you or your feelings.

Yup. You boo a 100 year old delegate excited to see a woman on the ticket, you’re gonna piss some ladies off and guess what, assholes? We don't forget.

Because why focus on the ones who aren’t a problem? They’re sane and therefore not newsworthy. It’s useful to remind people that there are thousands of these Bernie or bust morons out there so that same people remember how important it is to go out and vote (for Hillary).

I think the reason they cherry pick the assholes is because there were enough of them showing up at the DNC acting disrespectfully and disrupting speakers. And it may have just been these few loud cherry picked assholes - but they were disrespectful enough that they deserve to be called out. Also that is Samantha

She’s soaring in the polls and her lead will increase to double digits after the debates.
