Yep, a lot of people only support them as lip service or because they hate Israel more.

Yep. My freshman abroad class was trying to get home from England in 2010 (really bad winter had fucked our ability to just fly out) and we had to go thru France. We got stopped for half an hour after crossing the channel because one of the other girls’ passport was US Virgin Islands which looks slightly different…

They’ll say he’s trying to infiltrate it to take it down or something, come on, you know they’re good at doublethink.

I think part of the problem by now is that we as a society have let this stuff get swept aside for so long that now that we’re starting to get it all out in the open we’re not entirely sure what the punishments and consequences should be for a lot of this stuff, especially since a lot of it will never see a courtroom…

Yep. My mom was rolling her eyes the other day about how the principal of the school she works at has apparently just learned the words “white privilege” and somehow fit it like nine times into a phone lecture to the teachers in an utterly nonsensical way (the principal herself is white). My mom said she thought the…

I’ll admit I do with most cereals (everything but ordinary cheerios) since I don’t like how they flavor the milk. So I’ll drink milk and eat the cereal dry. Regular cheerios go in the milk with slices of banana, though.

All the stars. That narrative has gotten downright obnoxious at this point and too many people are clinging to it instead of doing anything to try and help things.

You have summed it up!

Amen to that, he is simply incredible at being a force for good.

I mean at this point a lot of his voters simply do not care what he is or isn’t doing or what he has or hasn’t done. They just want to say they were right, their guy is right, and the libs were wrong. That’s all there is to it.

I have wanted to smack so many people over that one. If you are genuinely arguing something you are not the Devil’s Advocate. The DA is trying to help the person making a point craft their argument, not change their mind, beat them in an argument, or show them up. So many people act like calling themselves that is a…

I’ll admit I am often amused by number 7. I like watching the euphemisms and doublethink desperately try to cover the truth. Especially since racists and antisemites and such have gotten so much bolder and more willing to bluntly voice their views, you can tell when there’s been careful editing. Or when the editing…

She’s only a Dem because a Republican can’t win in Hawaii, from what I’ve seen.

Back when Obama punted the Syrian response to congress and they had to vote on what to do when Assad was committing war crimes, Franken was a wreck over it. He knew no matter what he chose innocent people would die, since if they did nothing people would keep dying but if they did something human shields would be used…

I got to gentle vacuum dust off ancient lace and fabric a few months back. A lot of fun, but the vacuum was a weird kind you wear in the small of your back and it was kinda heavy.

I went to a Franken event Sunday night. He said he’s never ever running and gave a pretty convincing argument why. *sigh*

This just reminds me of how my family read my sonogram really wrong and drew a face and hat on my ass while outlining what they thought was a dick and my aunt christened me “Baby Herbert.” Big surprise when the genetic testing came back a few weeks later and “it’s a girl” (on the upside, also didn’t have the one thing…

And also right now!

Longstreet is much, much better.

Plus, there was the rather famous “Missouri Compromise” and “The Compromise of 1850.” Like, they REALLY tried compromising and it just did not freaking work. Dude needs some lessons on this one.
