That may be true, but let’s not call each other’s feelings about being marginalized ridiculous, okay? We all get to feel the way we feel about this awful shit.

I’m firmly against this move, but it’s because I’m firmly against the draft regardless of gender.

If we are still going to have such an antiquated system as the draft, it only makes sense in the name of fairness to require women to sign up for the draft as well.

Trumpers have tried to use this to get me to see the error of my (liberal) ways

Are they gonna bring back Roseanne?

Side note: Democratic panelists on cable new shows will have to apologize for him until the year 2060 and beyond if Robert Byrd is any indication, while GOP poo-flingers will benefit from “both sides” mendacity. Holy shit cable news for another 45 years. What the hell. Go, climate change!

Instead of looking at some small transgression from 20-30 years ago, look at his record as a politician in MN. This is a man who would lead us back to relevance.

Liberals fall for this all the time. That’s why my feed has been full of stupid articles inviting me to empathize with white working classes, because their economic fears made them vote for a Nazi.

Still can’t watch the news, so I don’t know what’s going on here, but I just came to say that Rep. Ellison is beloved in MN.

Based on the recent dismal electoral results, we’re in a new era of smear-openness now, so let’s just say he’s black y’all, and he’s black y’all and he’s blacker than black and he’s black y’all, and he’s bliggity-bliggity-bliggity-bliggity black y’all.

eton was mentioned once- justin finch-fletchley was going to go before he found out he was a wizard.

THAT IS THE EXACT BOOK I AM TALKING ABOUT.

Right? The only other boarding school mentioned in the series was St. Brutus’ Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Boys which sure seems like it was J.K. Rowling poking a bit of fun at the stereotype of how terrible boarding schools are.

Counterpoint: Swinton (who may or may not be real, we may never know the truth) is the one who mentioned a fictional school in the discussion of reality so shit that ain’t real is fair game.

Counterpoint: Magic and flying lessons.

Ha! I remember reading somewhere that someone bought a house with a kitchen that had undergone a high end makeover by the previous owners. It had one of those pricey Vikings and laying in the oven on the center rack? The instruction manual. The previous owners had never used the thing.
