Well, obviously Big Pharma was just following them around to give them a giant novelty check, Happy Gilmore style, with an outrageous amount of money for their silence. They thought they were being followed for something nefarious and violent, but when you have Big Pharma money, there’s no need to get your hands dirty…

Michelle Obama, has announced to the country that she is the new America’s Mom. Last night. She used her “Honey, we need to talk voice.” and then proceeded to shoot Trump into the sun and then dropped that sun into a black hole.

Does he really not understand how much we all long for a boring country after 2020? That’s not a threat. 

So glad she mentioned the third-party voters, because I don’t think they get enough attention for what happened in 2016. The Johnson campaign regularly said they thought they were pulling support equally from would-be Trump supporters and would-be Clinton voters, while Stein’s campaign made a constant, explicit appeal…

However, the most absurd comment from him was from a campaign event on the same day in Minnesota where one of his criticism of Joe Biden is that the news wouldn’t be that interested in him. The actual quote is

Michelle Obama delivered a critical update to the “when they go low, we go high” edict. Stone cold killer instinct with a poisonous kindness. She spoke of him like a farmer putting an animal out to pasture. There were too many golden moments. My personal favorite was “He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us”.…

By the way, Trump’s responses to the convention were kind of meh, for example claiming that he had to come in because of how the Obama’s destroyed the economy and all that.

The queen of going high, Obama diverted from her usual elevated stance, taking a long stretch of minutes to descend into shitting on Donald Trump.

Writing positive articles about Putin is downright creepy. 

Actually, a lot of us felt sorry for Monica Lewinsky at the time. My anger was directed at Clinton’s stupidity of handing himself over to the right wing nuts and at Linda Tripp for pretending to be Lewinsky’s friend while she was busy selling her out. 

False reports of sexual assault are pretty rare in the regular world, but they aren’t particularly rare in politics—there’s such an obvious incentive to falsify claims in politics that just doesn’t really exist outside of it. Pete Buttigieg was hit with a fake rape claim last year. At least one of the allegations…

Not to mention that there are multiple confirmed cases of Trump paying people to level false accusations of sexual assault against his enemies.

A pattern of grifting is a pattern of grifting. And it taints anything else you do from that point on. This isn’t Monica Lewinski. This woman was writing articles swooning over Putin just last year. There’s all kinds of red flags here. She has a pattern, Biden doesn’t. Guess which one looks more suspect here?

I don’t know. We seem to be bending over backwards to find reasons why we should believe Tara Reade. Mostly centered on “believe women,” a concept I support. And I know that there’s a lot about how “real victims” behave and how damaging that is—so we shouldn’t factor in her character, which is that she’s a lifelong…

I honestly cannot figure out why Jezebel keeps defending this lady. The best investigative journalists have followed up and can’t confirm her story. The Obama campaign vetted Biden thoroughly before making him the VP. They wouldn’t miss this if it was real. Everything about her allegations feel wrong about what people…

I’m not sure this article really tracks with what Politico was doing. To go public with a sexual assault case against a powerful individual requires one of two things: evidence, or a leap of faith on behalf of the public.

Oh no, there were heroes and villains. The heroes were the many people who worked to help those who were inflicted with a mysterious disease while others worked to find a cure. The villains were those who celebrated the disease for religious reasons or those in power who mocked those inflicted. I’m torn on Shilts’…

As a gay man, I had to do some soul searching after hearing this news. On the one hand, in retrospect it’s clear that the Patient Zero narrative was too neat, and possibly driven by different forms of homophobia.

Naw, hubby has a movie deal in the works. It’s about the money.
