“...you’re the only one whose opinions on you matter...”

If even one of the many monkey poo missiles this abhorrent lot has flung at her was true and stuck she’d already be there - or at the very least, not a candidate. The bullshit the American public will swallow knows no bounds.

See, this is what corruption looks like. For real. Straight-up bribery and illegal donations and shit.

I’m just going to say this:

Not this (from birth) Californian. First of all, Junipero Serra has been beatified and canonised — to the anger and dismay of surviving Native Americans in this state who protested vociferously. His treatment of Native Americans was genocidal and included forced labour, and to top it all off he enthusiastically worked…

Serra was canonized last year.

I just wrote something similar, this is why I need to look at more than the first thread before I lost... Anyways I know she's an asshole but I forgot why

From your link, emphasis mine:

Also where is sainthood for Oscar Romero who was assassinated in a chapel while he said mass for his defence of the poor?

Agreed. Also, I strongly disapprove of this recent practice of fast tracking people to sainthood. The entire sainthood process was designed to let people’s excitement about a particular person calm down before they commit.

“Her fetishization of suffering is horrifying. It made me think of a new game called ‘Who Said It? Mother Theresa or Pinhead?’”

Withheld pain meds from dying cancer patients so they could be closer to Jeezus.

I read something by a person who visited and was appalled that with all the money coming in, the conditions were still terrible. Instead of using donations to improve conditions, she seemed more interested in growing her order and putting nuns all over.

I was reading about her in a Guardian article earlier today and there was a relatively throw-away comment that maybe she wasn’t so bright. I’d love to know more and I have Christopher Hitchens’ documentary queued up to watch.

And don’t forget her cozy relationship with the Haitian dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier! I mean, never mind that the funds she siphoning off to the Vatican is coming out of the actual pockets of the poor and dispossessed.

I’m not of the opinion that Rihanna is some stellar untouchable goddess. She aight. Slightly racist toward Asians. Catchy music. The way she dips out on Drake every few years after letting him back in is entertaining but only because his earnestness makes us all uncomfortable, I think. He’s so thirsty for her…

Amy Schumer is experiencing some less than stellar book sales.
